Silverstone GT3 races 1st May & 2nd May 2010

Post by **neil** » Sun May 02, 2010 7:38 pm

Hi all

Well it was COLD today but we had no rain - although it was wet in the morning. Curiously the new part of the track seem to flood - and they had to pump some water off.

Not a great day for us ALPINA nuts - Car 10 failed to race - and car 9 crashed out after 49mins.

I've create a new thread to discuss things after like the results and photos etc.

Gutted, I saw the green one yesterday with a light missing and a crumpled front wing

I met up with a friend who is a Nissan nut who was all smug - until both Nissans broke towards the end of the race!

Looks like I chose the better day to attend even though your weather was much better than what we had down here in Essex.

Here are a few of what I took yesterday.

Sorry guys if I do missed you lot and a great day on saturday. Me and my friend do enjoy the event especially my friend who had a long way back home. He did gave a good commend on our cars after a few hundred miles run for a few days in UK.

some nice shots there Kevin of the 2 race cars...

Sounds like you all had a good weekend. (meanwhile I was on a narrow boat on the Oxford Canal) thankfully the rain stayed away during the day and infact Saturday for us was glorious.

Had a great time meeting all you Alpina nuts.

Me & the wife had a great weekend with you all & it's just a shame the weather wasn't to good on Sunday & the Alpina teams didn't match our expectations

All the members cars were beautiful lined-up together..
(even yours Neil,lol).

Was a great couple of days even with the cold weather. And a friendly bunch of Alpina owners!
Shame that the B6's kept running into trouble, the green one was properly mangled up after its crash

. Anyone got any more info on what happened to it?

Some gorgeous cars from everyone there too.

When we arrived at the Welcome Centre early yesterday morning I admired your B10 V8S.
Abour 20 minutes later when we came to leave and drive to the paddock area Katie [my 8 year old daughter] walked straight up to your car and waited to get in - similar colour ALPINA just smaller engine!
