After recent events,I doubt as I'll be racing! although we might just trundle down anyway and stay with some friends who just so happen to live twenty clicks away.

You can still get a return flight from Gatwick to Faro for just over eighty quid with Aer Lingus...

I've got other commitments that weekend - my son's 21st celebration on the Sunday, and keeping the home fires burning for Delta Motorsport at Silverstone on the Saturday.

I would love to have gone, though, it looks like a wonderful place.

We went there first time in 1984. There were cafes on the quayside where you could get grilled shrimps fresh off the boat for breakfast, along with a bottle of Vino Verdi. That breakfast lasted until after lunch. Enjoy.

I've been watching some in-car footage to try to learn the layout - seems like a fantastic circuit.

Thanks Roger. Are there any videos for cars of a slower pace- like Escorts?

BTW- I have it on good authority that it is all 'flat' in a CSL

You say that, but notice on one vid the alternative layout for first corner is used! (Found one of a Dodge Ram going round- more my pace!)

OT, but at Spa my co-driver went out on thursday for first experience of circuit having memorized her 'circuit guide'. Unfortunately it was out of date and showed the old bus stop chicane.

See you in the sun!
