No Minis in the 360° footage and certainly no narrator...

As all of my chums in the real world, on Facebook, and some of you on here know, my Austin A30 was entered into the Silverstone Classic Celebrity Challenge Trophy last weekend.
Piloted by racing legend Anthony Reid, we managed to set her up to be superbly balanced and visibly quicker in the corners than most of (if not all) of the field, but lost out in a straight line due to a slightly down on power engine.
Third in the Celebrity qualifying and sixth in the owners race was a superb result, and Anthony went on to take the lead a few times dicing with the likes of Steve Soper, Martin Donelly and Wayne Gardner throughout. A spin two corners from home while fighting over second place (the driver who settles for an easy third, even in the p*ssing rain might as well retire) dropped us to 8th, but it was a superb result for a bloke in shed against the Works outfits.
Jason qualified and finished sixth in the 'owners' race, dicing with the leaders and circulating 2+ seconds a lap faster than the majority of the season regulars.
We set the fastest laps in both races for our team, and came away with trophies.
Silverstone themselves put a 360° camera in the car during practice on Thursday, and it's quite a ride.

Yes, you'll need to follow the link to Facebook, and hopefully it will work for you. On a tablet or a phone you just wobble it about to change the view, on a computer you use the mouse to drag the view around.
