Not wanting to blow my own trumpet but just had to share this of the gorgeous new GT3 contender....
Trawling thru all the shots from Silverstone and this is one of my faves :) .. but check out the heat haze over the bonnet that distorts the crash barrier!! ;D

With the engine in the back, would it be a heat haze at the front or just distortion from fast air?
Still a sweet photo and has given me a new desktop background :)

Nice to know I'm invading desktops! ;) The haze would be from the radiator at the front as the outflow exits up and over ;)

And nice shots Gilles, love it when you can shoot down onto the cars, always an interesting angle and you see things you wouldn't normally see (good shot to clarify the radiator position as mentioned in earlier post!)
