Race Car and the London Club

Fuji X100 - 19mm f2 - 1/55 @ f2 - ISO1000
This shot was taken on Thursday evening of the Toyota TS030 Hybrid Le Mans Prototype that competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship.  The car is in the opulent surroundings of the Royal Automobile Club in Pall Mall, London and was on display in the Rotunda as part of the media launch for the 6 Hours of Silverstone and the Tourist Trophy which I had organised in my role as the FIA Media Delegate for the Championship.

To get the car into the Rotunda was a feat of precision by the Royal Automobile Club and the guys from Toyota as the car had to be put on its side and squeezed between two pillars.  It did fit, but by just 1.5cm.  However the result certainly attracted a lot of attention by the members and visitors to the Royal Automobile Club during the week it was on display.

The 6 Hours of Silverstone is the opening round of the FIA World Endurance Championship and will take place on the 12-14 April.  First we have four days of testing next week at the Paul Ricard circuit in the South of France and I will be flying to Marseilles on Monday morning.
