As Silverstone played host to the Formula One circus at the weekend, the usual British Grand Prix 2016 GP2 events provided some of the support races. GP2 has a well founded reputation as being exciting racing and eventful weekends as well as showcasing much of the rising talent in motorsport. There was excitement over the…
Last weekend’s GP2 at the 2015 Belgium Grand Prix was, as normal, full of excitement and action. The weekend started for the GP2 teams with practice on Friday, which I watched from Eau Rouge. The view is so spectacular that rather than taking photos, I spent the time just watching the cars climb up the ascent…
I’ve posted about my trip to the German Grand Prix recently, and of course I watched some GP2 at Hockenheim 2014, this being one of the key support events for the Formula One European rounds.

GP2 practice for the 2013 British Grand Prix, on Friday 28th June at Silverstone, was a wet…
There are a number of support races at any Formula One event, and in recent years, there has been some standardisation of the events on Grand Prix weekends, meaning that most European races will see GP2, GP3 and the Porsche Supercup alongside the F1 racing. GP2 is seen as a feeder for F1, with the…
