Holy Trinity of Hypercars!

Figured I'd kick it off with a photo!

This was such an awesome thing to be allowed to shoot. These cars are just beyond amazing!!
Now my favourite is the 3.8L Twin Turbo V8 with electric ECU motor.... The McLaren P1. It just looks incredible and the sound of the spooling turbos sets your heart a flutter (get it ;) haha)

The 918 with the naturally aspirated 4.6L V8 with it's two electric motors has grown on me SO MUCH! I watched the programme Supercar Superbuild, about this car - as well as speaking to owners & people who helped develop the car, it's all just really made me kind of fall in love with it.

Then we have the Italian Stallion - LaFerrari, with it's great big 6.3L V12, electric motor & KERS system (HY-KERS.) Now this is the "marmite" hypercar - you either love it or hate it. I'm in the middle, it's not my favourite but it's not the worst car ever.

Now the lucky man that owns these, Mr Paul Bailey, is so knowledgeable on these cars and shows such passion for them. His favourite is the LaFerrari, he didn't get out of it for longer than 5 minutes for a coffee in the several hours we were there. He just wanted to drive!!

The purpose of the cars being at Silverstone wasn't to see which was fastest or anything. It was so people could experience being driven round the circuit in the cars for a few laps.

Hopefully I'll be back again soon for more fun shooting these bad boys!
