DonPeffers Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Is the gent in the blue trainers of French extraction? Seems he has 2 beers, but both are on the ground while he uses his hands to explain something during a conversation. Quote
jonjh1964 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Posted July 7, 2018 Just finish our parade laps - 100+ on the Mulsanne Straight - all cars intact Adge’s 250 at the start Pistonheads parking 4 x SEIW and an Eleven on the start grid More start grid 3 Quote
Andy Banks Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Damn it, was a bit tardy this morning, turning up half way through the Jag race. Was a beautiful morning, hope you enjoyed the experience 1 Quote
jonjh1964 Posted July 8, 2018 Author Posted July 8, 2018 3 Laps - 110mph down the Mulsanne - after a few stop starts on the 1st lap - traffic spread out and was much more enjoyable. AdgeC in his 250 started from the back and ended at the front. My Eleven pottered along nicely Photos to follow once we get back on Monday night. Quote

jonjh1964 Posted July 8, 2018 Author Posted July 8, 2018 Would have liked to have seen that...we were parked in the pistonhead area further down the track. Currently sweating in the main straight stands watching the Lotus XV win it’s group. Quote
Sparkymart Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Yeah I should have taken a photo but I was just to hot and my ice cream was melting. Quote

Well worth it though for the "dummy" Le Mans start, and the sound when they all came through on the first lap, when they started racing! 1 Quote
