A few pics below from yesterday for the classic motorsport enthusiasts out there !
A great day out with sunshine and an open paddock.

A heck of alot of Range Rovers there, mainly L322, but plenty of L405's also. Sadly, no Classics . . .
One thing which occurred to me looking at the RR's - the L405 is very colour sensitive, much more so than the L322. Perhaps that's Land Rovers fault for making the new car available with so many colour & trim options ?
Great to see some L405's with tow bars acting as tow barges . . . .

Thanks guys, seen some FN racing in Angouleme a few times, but never a saloon. They seem to be awful nimble, but hard work and so unbelievably fast. Love these cars.
