Wannabe F1 star

Today we went to Daniel's Silverstone driving experience. It was really good, don't think i could do it myself but he was great. After driving around the F1 track - not actually on it but on the road that goes around it - we arrived at the track days building which is located inside of the main track. Daniel had a driver's briefing so i went to the shop to buy him a souvenir of his day and then we all went over to the garage. It was a nice day weather wise and the last session of the day which was good as there was no rush. After getting a helmet and posing for some pictures on the 'grid' they were off, at first behind a safety car then when that went in and they could overtake. It was so hard trying to recognise the car he was in and then trying to photograph it as they are whizzing past you! It was a great afternoon and Daniel had a fab time, he was rewarded with a certificate of completion...Lewis watch out!
