The icing on the cake for us was to drive the "wrong way" up towards Les Combes, vaguely looking for things using an ordinary road atlas. Suddenly we came across a fence across the road and there were cars racing 100 yards on the other side. We parked up, went through an open gate and spent the day watching a classic sports car race.

1962 drive around video of old F1 course with Lucien Bianchi (who drove in 19 F1 races) (I believe he crashed this car in the race - 2VEV - also raced by Jim Clark and others and sold at Goodwood in 2010). Both his and following car carrying cameras so not too bad for 1962 film. (again apologise if on another thread but found this via an Abandoned circuits thread)

There's also a modern drive around video (of the old parts of the circuit outside) which is overlaid with the commentary and subtitles from 1962
