Race of Champions 2015 London

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

On Friday evening, the bloke and I went to see the Race of Champions in London at the Olympic Stadium. This is the first time we have been inside the Olympic Stadium, although memories were made when we had a visit to the Olympic Park during the Olympic games in 2012. This visit to the Olympic Park was very different. During the Olympic games, we were blessed with warm, summery weather. This visit, we had to wrap up warm, and even though I wrapped up warmly, I was still freezing.

The evening started with some warm-up laps and children's competitions.

I bought some macaroons in Westfield Stratford before the race, so we had these to munch on.

Next up was the obstacles that celebrities had to do for entertainment.

Then, the cars with their countries and drivers came out to do a parade lap.

On the half-time, we watched motorcycles doing stunts.

After the semi-final, one of the drivers drove around and waved at the crowd.

The moon was also quite bright, and I could see some of the craters on it. This made me think of the 'Man on the Moon' John Lewis Christmas advertisement that is out this year.

We also saw a Formula1 car come out and do a few laps.

In the end, it was won by the United Kingdom team. I got a photograph of the interviews at the end of the race.

After the race, the action was not over yet as BBC's 'Top Gear' decided to put on a race for their upcoming series. The show is now hosted by Chris Evans, and he gave commentary and interviewed the drivers.

I hope you've enjoyed the photographs.
