Had a request from a UK based FF racer for car transport to and from this meeting. He’s based in Sussex, but is happy to deliver in the car in S East. If anyone can help, I’ll put you in touch.....

Mike, may be this team could try and contact the organiser directly. The closest spanish harbor is, as you know, Bilbao. If you have teams competing either in Spain of Portugal may be its worth considering those too.

My suggestion was is there a team based in the UK racing in Spain or Portugal on a regular basis. Not vice versa… But OK, I see it sounds weird to say the least. Sorry.

Absolutely no worry Iain, I love this picture its really nice and fun. And this is a relaxed forum. My first intention was to suggest a direct contact with HVM, you and Alan do know those people very well. After that it came up to my mind that, for instance, Diogo Ferrao or others may be have cars/team based in UK. And yes, while writing I was wondering if it makes sense or… less sense!
Pau is really far from Calais or Dover and we all know that sometimes transportation can be a hassle. If you go there, have fun and be safe!

Iain, this kind of announcement has been done several times about Pau circuit en ville. Often its about politics, environment, greens, and stuff. Matter of fact, it brings a lot of money to this area. By experience I can tell you how much complicated it is to hold a meeting there. You need to rent a lot of people to check spectators, several entries, several competitors areas…
There seem to be a more serious threaten on another french track, the nice Ledenon located near Nîmes. The once to be used anti clockwise in France. Really a nice place to have fun. PS I say Pau circuit en ville because there's another track named Pau-Arnos located few miles away from Pau town. |

Talking about a non permanent track located in a medieval town, its really important to know about access rules. They can be found here, take them seriously, impossible to by pass given the specific location: https://www.hvmracing.fr/wp-content/...ue-2019-UK.pdf
Less hassle than at Monaco imo… |

Ha, just a thought. If you have spare friends, cars, money and time, may be you could join a French pack like HFF, HF3 or Maxi 1300 the late hosted by a lot of Minis. You can ask HVM team, they are helpful and speak English.

Pau is lovely and so is the event. If the owner of the car we are racing a Brands would look a bit further than at the usual events, we could have been there. I’m working on it for the future......

You're right to work on it, Mike. This event is oriented to please English competitors, like Masters for instance, but sometimes you can join a more relaxed series while you are on the field. Expect a warm welcome you'll be listed as a guest meaning no points granted for our national championship. Just for fun. As delta could say WTF!

Iain, hope this will help you and mates.
Is it possible to drive a single seater at Pau Arnos on the 23rd? Yes. When? Morning and/ or afternoon. Series are organized, top hat and single seaters are not mixed together. Maximum noise is 100 dB. You need no licence only your usual race gear. How much? Rates are for the car, not the driver, half a day is €90 taxes included. Full day is €140 taxes included. Restrictions? Yes, you need a letter from your insurer OR you can buy locally the mandatory insurance, called "RC" Responsabilité Civile, for € 17. How to register? On your arrival or through the website in advance. Will people be helpful? Yes but dont expect any good English language. To make things clear if two guys want to share the same car its €140. If one guy wants to drive two cars its €280 per day. Enough place for a large truck? Yes, but the road leading to the circuit is narrow, lets say like a B road. http://www.circuit-pau-arnos.fr/contact_1_1_14.html http://www.circuit-pau-arnos.fr/event.php?id=822 prices not updated Email: contact@circuit-pau-arnos.fr Satnav: N43°26'49.10'' E0°31'38.96'' roughly 15 miles west from Pau ville. Roger?

I'll try my best Iain. I guess car or cars are single seaters and you're using dB killers to have them below or around the 95 mark? Dont expect a straight for an Airbus, but if you like blind corners and late apexes, you'll like it.
Mind you the next gaz station is miles away… |

If anyone is considering a drive in south west area of France I take the risk to warmly recommend Nogaro. OK, bad things first, people at the track are not really helpful or even polite, they have a tough typical accent meaning they can't speak a word of English. That said… the track is good say like a mini mini Silverstone. Good food around but not for free.
Sorry you should read Circuit Paul Armagnac, dont tell me about a dead link. Soooo French! |

They made perfect sense to me Gerard. I'm taking the TGV to Pau so won't be able to join Iain unfortunately.
Are you planning to go to Pau? It would be good to put a face to the name. |

Alan dont know yet if I'll be there but would love to buy a beer or coffee!
Ho yes, Iain, very happy days! I'll try to find a convenient restaurant, meaning good value for money, and a pizzeria for you. This area is called Béarn, the famous local sauce is obviously sauce béarnaise. People there speak with a charming accent. Note that if they're talking about "garbure" its in no way related to carburateur but a well known soup you can ask for gahr-BURR. Recipe here: https://myheartbeets.com/garbure-fre...egetable-soup/ I know you like Copenhagen then you'll love to race in Pau streets. Mind you the right hand hairpin is really a tight one and a perfect gearing is tricky to find. Have fun, be safe! |

Not really OT, Mike, I'd like to add that people are called Paloises and Palois.
And yes, just found a local brewery producing the… Shuk! In local patois it means juice, flavor, savorous. Never tested this before! Local wine is Jurançon, white wine, produced either soft or dry. Cheers!
