Silverstone Classic 2009 Press Day – Get the latest pictures09 May

Yesterday (06.05.09) Silverstone Circuit hosted the Silverstone Classic Media Test Day.  A fantastic array of cars was in attendance, including Tester’s Jaguar XK120, and those with passenger seats (and drivers that wanted to!) were able to give the media passenger rides around the 3.2 mile Historic GP circuit, to get the juicing flowing and everyone revved up for the July event.

Team Tester’s own timing had driver Jim Tester posting about 2.27min around the track with the likes of the Aston Martin GT Prototype Project 212 car about 2.16.  However the awesome Group C cars, including the Silk Cut Jaguar XJR-9LM (winner of the 1988 Le Mans) driven by Andy Wallace, we clocked at anywhere between 1.58 and 2.03min!

Team Tester were due to give the media a thrill in the XK120 but sadly a vibration on the car meant she had to be pulled out of the rest of the day.

All that was left to do with the day was ogle the rest of the cars out on display ~ take a look at the snaps in the gallery!

We know which cars we can’t wait to see rockin’ and racin’ at the event .. how about you?

    That would have been a treat to see the XK120 race.

    Hope the vibration wasn’t anything serious!
