Hi,

Thought it might be interesting to share the pics I've took last week, during the "Grand Prix de l'Age d'Or"..

In the paddocks, the atmosphere smells like the sixties

Driver change training for the endurance run the next sunday (Iso Griffo A3c)

Image
Some modern F1 cars where on the track. The speed gap between the 96 and '04 models is impressive.

On the track, most of the cars -and owners- were from UK

HGPCA PRE 61 podium. Ferrari Dino 0007 (N°3) owner, looks like father christmas, and weight about 260 pounds !

Nice slide for this 911 S in the 'S' of the sablières

2 topics for this year..At first.. Women !

Sometimes disdainful ..

They usually observe.

Image

Rarely help..

Image
And most of the time, not give a damn!

Here comes the men..

Image
Sometimes friendly,

Image
Cautious..

Image
Worried..

Image

Image
Thoughtful..

Image
Careful..

The 'Santa Claus' you mention driving the Maserati will probably be Tony Smith, manager of the pop beat combo Genesis. It appears there is money to be made in the music business :D
