Re: The McLaren F1 Owner's Club

Here's a photo shared just now by Phil (cabrio92) on the MCLF1.com Facebook page.



His caption: "It's difficult to describe how amazing the event was and how lucky we were to be there"

To that, I can only add "Amen!"

These are some pictures I took yesterday for Simon Kidston while out in his car. Quite proud of a few of them. Hi Res versions will have to wait on these for now.



















Simon never put a wheel wrong that day. It was a massive drive of over 450 kilometers and the car performed beautifully - in fact all the cars performed beautifully over the three days of driving. I wish I could say the same for my stomach on the 26 Lacets we were descending on the Sella Runde.

Hundreds upon thousands more pics will emerge. I was taking nearly 1,000 shots per day myself. You'll just need a bit more patient while I work through them. I have an early morning trip planned to visit Pagani if we are lucky and Galleria Ferrari and perhaps a few other spots in and around Modena/Bologna. Then I blast back here tomorrow evening for one more night in an incredibly beautiful place. Then I have another long day planned for Saturday before I fly home Sunday morning. So, over the next three days I will be traveling A LOT and not able to put as much effort as I would want to into sharing additional content. I will do what I can though, as certainly I recall what it felt like after the event at the MTC in 2010 when we all waited for EVO Magazine to satisfy our curiosities.

Also there were plenty of members of the general public snapping away at the cars - especially today while we waited for the ferry to cross the lake on the return trip and while the cars were being loaded on transporters to head home. That said, if you find any stuff out there related to the 20th Anniversary F1 Tour, please do not hesitate to share it in this thread. I have a strong feeling the eyes of the F1 world will be on us and I would like to build this thread into a massive archive of event content to be enjoyed by many F1 enthusiasts for years to come and would love any help in building that up.
