Trophée Mini Classic Pau 2011

Post by sandman »

The French have "revived" the Pre-66 Mini Series... Video from the last race in the streets of Pau..

I believe Nick Swift won them both... (White car/black roof)... Looks like Gwyn (and other UK'ers also took part... (?)

Yes, Nick Swift won the 2 races. It must have been such a beautiful show to see all those minis on the Pau city track !

Know the car way too good - as Jochen Mass and John Haugland, in my car, collided during first qualifying at the Revival.... incidentally both cars are Surf Blue! :-p

(Jochen had spun out and entered the track at a really silly place, leaving Haugland no chance to avoid contact as he was at full drift through around the corner...)

Er not for me, thanks!
It took me nearly 9 years to build mine - it would probably take me about 9 seconds to write it off there! :o

Ed, from what I could see, he just pissed off into the distance.
