Yesterday was the first day of two, shooting video action at the legendary F1 racetrack Silverstone!
It’s event coverage as part of a team, covering a BMW training event.
I really enjoy my job and the kind of variety it brings, especially with unusual trips out like this to awesome places.
My job as videographer was to run around the site with fellow Videographer @jackshootsstuff, following a timetable of sessions. It was a mix of filming presentations, being trackside with the cars and shooting mini vox pop interviews.
We enjoyed rigging GoPros to an army of cars whizzing at 110mph round the main track!
However there were some casualties on the GoPro 😂
SPLAT!
One thing that stood out was taking a ride in a BMW M5 CS.
There are only two of these in the UK currently. Brand new.
626 horse power. 6 litre. 0-60 in 3 seconds. £140,000!! 🥵
I’m not a car lover or petrol head. BUT HOLY SMOKES CAN THAT THING MOVE!
There’s more filming ahead today, although it is now raining unlike the incredible sunshine we had yesterday!
Any car fans here enjoying these BMW’s?
Cheers for reading, @ashtv.
That's a cool job. I know @stav has done some track days and @dickturpin posted some vintage racing pics recently. Only time I've been to Silverstone was for a company karting event, but that was not on the main track. I've flown over there when I had a flying lesson, but that was a one-off.
Raining here too after some hot days. Good old British weather!

Awesome. It’s a huge site - must be very impressive from the air!
Glad we got the majority of the outdoor shot yesterday.
This is a damn cool job to have! Looks like beautiful weather and amazing cars in all directions.
Absolutely! Had a ride in an M4 today too, doing doughnuts on the track! Bonkers.
well that sounds fun :)
It absolutely was!
Looks like you had a lot of fun! NICE WHEELS!
It was a busy busy blast!
A nice break from the usual humdrum :)
A great post! I found this by luck. That new M5 CS s stunning, I was lucky enough to see one in the centre the other week. I remember my dads old 2000 M5 ACS individual was £90,000 new, which shows how much the prices have inflated. cheers :)
Holy smokes! £90k back in 2000?
Glad that you found my post and enjoyed it - I’m the same, occasionally come across s random one and love it.
Cheers for the comment :)
BMW needs more of this style, and less of the M4. I think they'd benefit if they pulled back in the styling and went retro, back to the sleek 80s/90s look.
Yeah I agree, these are proper cool. Solid and less showy/sporty looking. Big too.

I am a bit of a petrol head so love the blog!
I have been to Silverstone twice to watch the F1 and toured the pits which was extremely fun!
Enjoy the rest of filming!
Wow, that’s ace you’ve seen a proper F1 day!
I’d actually enjoy seeing the thrill of a proper race.
My dad often recounts the time where he went and commented about how incredibly loud it was 😬
Glad you enjoy seeing the blog! 😁
Thanks for continuing to make Hive awesome.
