I know what you mean,having done the six hour in total sunshine for the whole of the weekend and also when the rain started 20clcks out of Calais and did,nt stop till we came back on Monday!.But then again the rain is kinder on the car,it was just the bloody driver who was in it at the time!!

In belgium they easily predict the weather for 3 weeks

And much more than the weather!

Are the results out for the six hour yet Eddy?

GBRM · 25 Sep 2007, 21:33 (Ref:2022983)

What start do you do for the 6 hours, standing, rolling or something completely differant??

GORDON STREETER · 26 Sep 2007, 06:44 (Ref:2023189)

That's what the six hour is all about, lets get some more footage on there this year

**Peter Mallett** · 26 Sep 2007, 07:04 (Ref:2023196)

Agreed Gordon. Only a few more days.

Well, we'll probably open a bottle of wine at 4pm, after that some cheese and biscuits with a drop of port then maybe retire to the...................... Oh wait I'm in it this year!

It's a rolling start!

Esper. Good stuff but don't make to much noise this year, I want to be able to sleep.

terence · 26 Sep 2007, 07:13 (Ref:2023203)

It can only be that way.I,m going there for some fun with good friends,perhaps a beer or two,and , oh yeah,Racing as well.Not to concerned about noisy neighbours though.

Rolling start is from the F1 Start line ,not that it will make a difference,it has always started from the exit of the Bus Stop!

How come the "Bohemian" approach to racing is so different to our,s?

Take a look at this www.alexanderdavidis.com - "Shaken and Stirred". Apparently the full version is being shown on Discovery HD in Europe on the Monday after Spa, October 8th, 8:00PM.

simon drabble · 26 Sep 2007, 11:11 (Ref:2023439)

this was the Aston that crashed very badly last year isnt it?

rogerwills · 26 Sep 2007, 11:24 (Ref:2023450)

Yes, backed into the wall at the top of Eau Rouge. You can just see the impact in the clip.

The film crew will be at Spa this year for a 6 part series they are doing on historic racing.

simon drabble · 26 Sep 2007, 11:27 (Ref:2023458)

that was intelligent!
are they the people giving you and Joe your 15 minutes of fame this year?

terence · 26 Sep 2007, 12:39 (Ref:2023520)

Roger,did they get the idea from Channel Five producers?

zefarelly · 27 Sep 2007, 07:46 (Ref:2024110)

perhaps if they put a bit more emphasis on driving ability rather than video production they may not have stacked it !

well it was last year most "pictured"car don't know any photographer who didn't make a picture of it after the Radillon escape.

rogerwills · 27 Sep 2007, 13:05 (Ref:2024385)

I have no way of forming an opinion on the driving ability of the Aston driver. However, the film production ability of the film crew is very evident!!

**Peter Mallett** · 27 Sep 2007, 14:37 (Ref:2024426)

Yes, esper's production is light years ahead.

at least part of our film crew is driving the 6h this year! which makes the varied discussion on "ability" a complex one

(they will be in our pitbox, so continuation of the "set" of last year)

terence · 27 Sep 2007, 19:02 (Ref:2024619)

Helmet mounted camera??
