CROIX EN TERNOIS

Mike Bell · 30 Dec 2018, 08:23 (Ref:3873105)

The 500cc F3 cars guest. Less than 100km from Calais, so hardly a long haul...

Guess its only me from tenths making this trip. What about you Gerrard.

Mike Bell · 3 Jul 2019, 04:36 (Ref:3915598)

Mmm, will be passing just to the south on Monday! Should have arranged to leave a day earlier, especially if Gerard is making an appearance.

timetable here..... https://www.circuitdecroix.com/wp-co...DC-2019-V4.pdf

SJWBallistic · 3 Jul 2019, 06:57 (Ref:3915609)

Have fun Iain
For various reasons I could not make this one. Dad will be there in the Flash Special.
See you soon
Stuart

Great little circuit with toilets 100 times worse than Santa Pod

Gerard C · 3 Jul 2019, 15:57 (Ref:3915704)

Sorry will be heading south, Nogaro testing an MX5. Not too much excited by the car but good to meet mates… The comment about toilets could be true I'm afraid! I'll send a txt to John E right away to know about his venue.

MGDavid · 3 Jul 2019, 17:57 (Ref:3915728)

I drove past Croix last year and it looked all spruced up and rebuilt, must have had some new investment?

But will that have included new loos?

Depends on priorities, I guess!

We await delta’s confirmation yes or no.....

Absolutely right, David. You can now happily make weewee on the baraque �* frites walls and not been caught by the police! if this not an improvement. Let Mike talk about this, he's the official spokesman for french toilets!

Just hope I don’t have to much work . I would like to get outvon my bike Saturday evening

Gerard C · 5 Jul 2019, 18:51 (Ref:3916052)

Oops weather forecast not so good for Sunday morning, few showers expected. Sunny Saturday with 27°, only 20° on Sunday. Have fun and be safe.

delta · 6 Jul 2019, 05:18 (Ref:3916085)

Up at 2 am . Now at Dover and the lady in check in booth says “any fuel on board “. No no no I’ve just got 100 litres of methanol . 🤨

delta · 6 Jul 2019, 10:34 (Ref:3916117)

This place has changed since I was last here back in the early 90’s. Yes very smart and with nice sit on Loo’s. Everyone very nice and friendly .

Gerard C · 6 Jul 2019, 10:59 (Ref:3916123)

Sure we are nice and friendly. Northerners have in their heart the sun and warmth whatever the weather outside! "Les gens du Nord ont dans le coeur le soleil qu'on ne voit pas dehors…"

Take care in the long left curve behind the pits…

Menthol surely?

Much less of a concern to anyone and clearly an unfortunate slip of the the Re-writer tool if there was any error.

Gerard C · 6 Jul 2019, 15:38 (Ref:3916153)

Menthol, methanol, white glue there's nothing like the smell of castor oil in the morning! I guess many here used R30 or R40. A real pain when you had to drain it when hot… I remember Michel Rougerie mechanic taking care of his CB77 at Montlhéry moons ago!

Haha exactly as when we went. The temp was in the low 30s with brilliant sunshine on Saturday, when we woke up Sunday morning and went down there was about 2 inches (5cm in French) of water in the floor of the car, my D type rep. Coming home it ****ed down all the way but at speed you don't get wet as the rain goes over the top of you, the problem is all the holes in the bulkhead with water constantly running on your legs and feet made for a miserable time

Gerard C · 6 Jul 2019, 17:42 (Ref:3916174)

Tim this brings a poor joke in my memory about some roasters ! Hard to avoid the water coming in, hard to avoid oil going out!

delta · 6 Jul 2019, 19:55 (Ref:3916199)

Lovely surprise when John Elwin introduced himself today . This was best thing that happened today . Running these 500 ‘s . Grrrrrrr.

Gerard C · 6 Jul 2019, 15:50 (Ref:3916157)

Iain, how are your boys? Good Qualy? Do you have cars in the two grids, meaning four races during the weekend?

...and here's the proof.

Gerard C · 7 Jul 2019, 08:42 (Ref:3916281)

And who is standing by John, please?

Iain you can ask him, he does know I'm not a hoax…
John, did you borrow those nice shorts from some tenther…

delta · 7 Jul 2019, 11:10 (Ref:3916290)

That was my first question.👍

Gerard C · 7 Jul 2019, 13:49 (Ref:3916315)

Remaining unknown to many here and being a great fan of Anglebox, may be my character is related to… Harry Potter!
How were the races, Iain?
