BPR Global Endurance GT Racing from Silverstone 1997

Here is some old video footage of the BPR GT Championship from Silverstone in 1997, virtually rained during the whole race. The race featured the McLaren F1 Longtail BMW's, Mercedes CLK GTR, Panoz GT1, Porsche GT1, Porsche GT2 993, Viper GT2, Lotus GT2 and McLaren F1 shorttail. These were the best years of GT racing because many manufacturers were involved.

I was there for this! In fact, i was higher up in one of the grandstands on the outside of woodcote. All i really remember though is just how wet and cold it was lol.

0:40 marvelous paintwork on the Gulf Team Davidoff car! Bright reddish orange mixed with the blue and black, just marvelous.
