The recent BTCC Silverstone rounds 2018 made up the penultimate weekend of the championship, with the number of contenders for the title starting to reduce. However, although the series may be reaching its conclusion, it still has the ability to surprise, and at Silverstone, the surprise package on Saturday was Team Hard’s Mike Bushell. The…
The recent BTCC Silverstone rounds 2018 included the penultimate weekend of this year’s British F4 season, and as normal, the weekend was not short on drama or excitement.

The BTCC Silverstone Rounds 2017 at the weekend definitely felt that autumn had arrived and therefore we were into the final few rounds of the championship. The support races were made up of British Formula Four, the Renault Clio Cup, the Ginetta GT4 Supercup, Ginetta Juniors and the Porsche Carrera Cup, so it was a busy…
Last weekend saw the British F4 Silverstone Rounds 2017 as part of the BTCC visit to the circuit. As the penultimate weekend of the season, the title race is almost over, and with Jamie Caroline going into the event 74.5 points in the lead with a potential 75 points available, it would just require Caroline…
As I was heading to the Pomeroy Trophy at Silverstone yesterday, I passed a car on the M1 motorway that had a familiar appearance. Whilst there are stories of four wheel drive F1 cars and pre-season testing is about a week away, could this be a CamoBull 4×4? The CamoBull was the nickname of the…

For me, one of the highlights of the British Grand Prix each year is the performance by the RAF’s aerial display team, which normally happens just before the race. The 2016 British Grand Prix Red Arrows show was as spectacular as normal, and I have almost stopped taking photos of the display as the show…
Silverstone was an airbase before becoming a motor racing circuit, and was home to Wellington bombers during World War 2, hence the naming of the Wellington straight. The circuit retains this link with a series of aerial shows, and the British Grand Prix 2016 Typhoon air display was a great opportunity to see the fighter…
Silverstone has hosted plenty of impressive air displays as well as motor races, fittingly as it is a former RAF airbase, and the RAF Falcons British Grand Prix 2016 display required the parachutists to be a their excellent best as Friday’s variable weather conditions saw a strong wind requiring the jump from one side of the…
As Silverstone played host to the Formula One circus at the weekend, the usual British Grand Prix 2016 GP3 events provided some of the support races. As the series is used as a feeder for some of the Formula One teams, it was no surprise to see some of the participants taking part in other…
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.
