Hi,

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

Image
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.

Use the force, luke !

Image
Local mini club

Image
Minis VS MX5, with an Elise to arbitrate !

The SCCT stand, a track rent association, classic car oriented.

Pit Stop animation, for girls only !

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

Everything is under control in this Elite..



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

Sometimes disdainful ..

Image
They usually observe.

Image

Image
Rarely help..

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

Image



Here comes the men..

Image
Sometimes friendly,

Image
Cautious..

Image
Worried..

Image

Image
Thoughtful..

Image
Careful..

Image
But they always have the smile ! (Barrie "Whizzo" Williams)

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
