Also the choice of tyres.

Well worn if one assumed it would stay dry. Hardly worn at all if wet.

Make the wrong choice potential competitiveness disappeared.

Good to hear from you Lars. I hope you can sort out the BDA.

Looks good by the way....

Magny Cours?

The driver likes the grass. Seems to be a French habit.

The next pic seems to have the Samba doing its own Samba, dancing down the track.

Looks like you've got one of the really rare landscape versions of the old red phone box there Iain, that should be worth even more money!

EB, the tall and close wall indicates more likely Croix en Ternois, but not sure. At this moment of the race to be out of the track was the safer place! When the second season started, I had the single car remaining its original shell including the front wings! I cant appreciate this kind of rubbing racing.

The only reason I said Magny Cours was I remembered having seen this picture linked following on the Magny Cours website and recognised the bridge. But of course it might just be a similar bridge elsewhere.

Yes, Happy Birthday Gordon. I will raise a glass to you this evening. It won't be Larkins I'm afraid but my home made red wine
