Interesting, and makes sense!!

I went there in early 2000's helping one of the teams. Had a really difficult job finding the place as nobody we asked directions for knew where it was!!!

He drove the final with a car full of fumes as well, which was pretty committed!

BArry Squibb did exactly the same thing in Valkenswaard in 1993, did the whole A Final ina car full of fumes I think.

Schanche also did this at Maasmechelen but do not remember the year, think it was before gr.B

I once drove a final with a leaking fuel line in the car. Was sick for days...
