Cool and damp on the first day and slightly warmer but then damper later on, on the second day last year. As Joe said, don't murder the car on the first day and leave some in reserve for the second day.

Im probably only doing the Bugatti day, partially due to the fact that I reckon August in central France will be hot.

How crispy will the VX still be on the 2nd day if 2 trackdays back 2 back in the heat?

Last year's experiences?


Really enjoyed the maison blanche track last year and its a long way to go just for the sunday IMO. The weather wasnt brilliant last year but it could of been a lot worst as the majority of both trackdays were dry. As others have said on the way home it was mega windy which upset the ferry. I also ripped my soft top trying to get it back on and nearly lost my cap twice outside the pizza restaurant that we didnt have time to eat pizza in :rolleyes: . These and all the other events make the trip what it is and i will look back on it for years to come. Cant wait for this year now, theres gonna be drama . . ;)

It is a long way to go for one TD but in actual fact for me Anglesey is much further. Is there any thoughts about going back to that restaurant to which i have such fond memories? i didn't know you ripped your ST George, what a bummer - twas fecking windy though. As for the drama, will you be taking the starring roll again :lol: We did leave it a bit late for the pizza - 45mins for something like 8 pizzas when their oven only did 3 at a time :rolleyes:

Im happy to go to the restaurant, avoiding the fishy pizza this timed though. Soft top only ripped down the seam where the cable is and ive had it repaired. Drama? I dont remember any drama involving me :P . As for the race for the ferry. Sutol you were parked up on that country lane when i passed you at 60mph werent you? :ninja:

no the restaurant I meant was the 'Sporting' bar and some of the sports they do there are definitely not in the Olympics.
