They come from the whole world for a picnic

It’s been going on for 12 years. They improvise a picnic between two grandstands. From Dallas to Sydney, they numbered about forty, this Saturday afternoon. The English of course, they started the Ten-Tenths forum, which organizes the meeting. A Romanian, some from the Netherlands, Americans, a Swede and a Russian… and four French!

“I am responsible for the table”, laughed Eric Vaillant, from Le Mans. And everyone brings their specialities, Robert brought Texas Whisky, others a strange brew from the Netherlands… with this atmosphere and that much alcohol, wouldn’t they miss the start of the race? “No, that would never happen” Christoper (74 years old) assured me, an Englishman attending every race since 1976.
