The little path inside the trees on the inside of the Esses, before Terte Rouge was always my favourite spot - probably the closest you could get to the cars and the noise that echoed off the tree truly hurt my ears

We probably sat a while at the same place under the branches.

That was fun, but as you said it does not seem to show the trees, which i know were there, that was my first ever year and i remember the funfair and forest area quite well. On the video i loved the speedo as it crept to 360kph only the straight.

That was my favourite part too. And it somehow was not widely known, so relatively quite too. (with people, not sound )

Certainement! Weaving in between the trees, hoping that the Porsche's - they seemed to be 'worst' offenders didn't pass you at the wrong moment!! It really seemed to reverberate through there

I've only been going since 97 and something was lost when they got rid of the allotments there. Although the tram is a godsend in terms of connecting the circuit to the town centre.

ETA : and the approach to Tetre Rouge was an amazing spectacle at night back then.

Lovely shots. Do you have any more online anywhere to browse through? They're all great but the black and white one is incredible.
