On convex hull of Gaussian samples

Let $X_i = {X_i(t), t \in T}$ be i.i.d. copies of a centered Gaussian process $X = {X(t), t \in T}$ with values in $\mathbb{R}^d$ defined on a separable metric space $T.$ It is supposed that $X$ is bounded. We consider the asymptotic behaviour of convex hulls $$ W_n = \conv\ {X_1(t), X_n(t), t \in T}$$ and show that with probability 1 $\lim_{n\to \infty} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\ln n}} W_n = W$ (in the sense of Hausdorff distance), where the limit shape $W$ is defined by the covariance structure of $X$: $W = \conv {}\{K_t, t\in T}, K_t$ being the concentration ellipsoid of $X(t).$ The asymptotic behavior of the mathematical expectations $Ef(W_n)$, where $f$ is an homogeneous functional is also studied.
