This topic may be better served in a different forum in the long run, but we'll leave it here for the time being to see what reply's you get.

Hmmmmmmmm...How about starting with why we call them "pits"

strad · 14 Jan 2004, 22:06 (Ref:838501)

Do ya want old...or new???
Honda at Monza in 67...lot more open in the old day when there was less secrecy

strad · 14 Jan 2004, 22:13 (Ref:838514)

Like I said...a Lot more open...Monaco

strad · 14 Jan 2004, 22:21 (Ref:838521)

Seriously....one would have to know what it is you're looking for.

I like the 'pits' photo strad.

Not contemporary, but...

I assume you mean F1, but you may be interested in photos of the latest pits and the two previous versions at Oulton Park. And there was F1 there in the "good old days". Have a look at brsccnw.com The Pics can be found under Achieve News [I think they mean Archive]2003 and then Changes to Oulton Park

Adam...could you hear the echos?

strad · 15 Jan 2004, 10:38 (Ref:839054)

1937

strad · 15 Jan 2004, 10:46 (Ref:839066)

2003

Damon · 15 Jan 2004, 12:48 (Ref:839170)

That's a very spooky picture Adam, just think of what changes that building has seen.

**Aysedasi** · 15 Jan 2004, 12:50 (Ref:839173)

Absolutely Damon. Why are shots of those Reims pits so evocative?

**Aysedasi** · 15 Jan 2004, 12:54 (Ref:839177)

Just looked at all the rest of those pics Adam.

Fabulous. Simply magical. I can almost feel the shiver running down my spine right now.

I can only imagine what it must have been like sitting up in those grandstands as the cars passed at full chat.

It'll make really make me think the next time I take my trusty Eagle out at Reims in GPL........

**Adam43** · 15 Jan 2004, 13:10 (Ref:839193)

strad, Damon, Aysedasi. It is a wonderful place and all the emotions you describe were there.

The odd thing was it was very quiet. The road in front of the pits was closed due to the area around what was the final corner being made into a roundabout.

However in your mind you could hear a 250F blasting down the straight on full chat.

Magic.

Damon · 15 Jan 2004, 13:15 (Ref:839200)

My summer plans are suddenly becoming clearer

**Adam43** · 15 Jan 2004, 13:53 (Ref:839241)

It is very easy to find. We left all our maps in blighty and still found it! Although it did involve a phone call to a mate to clarify what the corners where like

Super Tourer · 15 Jan 2004, 14:54 (Ref:839289)

Magic!

strad · 15 Jan 2004, 21:34 (Ref:839638)

I understand you can still drive on much of what was the track....true???

**Adam43** · 15 Jan 2004, 21:59 (Ref:839661)

Yes. The hairpin no longer joins the long straight (since it was made into a duel carriageway). The final corner is no more too.

However much of the rest of the circuit (both circuits very old and old) is still there. For info on both these versions I shall (again) reference the racing circuit website http://www.racingcircuits.net/France/Reims.html
