A national licence is ok for a PA meeting and most meetings - Monaco excluded, unless you are involved in an International accredited FIA series (masters F1 etc) I checked with PA for an entry we had for sixties endurance, unfortunately pulled now. I'll be at Dijon with the Grand Prix cars - so will let you know how we get on. Then following on to Le Castellet. Motorsport UK have got more organised with supplying exemption letters - emailed to me next day, rather than 3 weeks later for Monaco. Will |

Yes, Will, we all know you're a very experienced and fast driver sure you gonna do wonders on Prenois' toboggan! Would be great if you have spare time to keep us updated, thanks.
I wont comment the Elite list thingy, but it seems that now there are too many of those IMO. This is not the F1 WC! Stay safe and have fun. |

I imagine the commentator team speaking on hush hush mode! May be it will give things like "He's neither the leader nor third but I'm not allowed to tell you he's between those two positions" an other guy answering "I second that!"!
The maximun spectators allowance being one thousand per day, I guess after two hours of race each diver will know each spectator's first name and résumé! |

Loads of times being deleted for track limits in Quali for 60s endurance....in previous events this has been ignored, so good to see them cracking down on it.

Well done Mr Nuthall.
The track limits thing can be discussed I hope. It must be about the two wheels off the track limits, once is OK but not always. Agree with 356, this must be wisely policed. Eighteen drivers have been warned… |

The Grp C's are fast, I'd say between 297 and 299 kph…

Interesting to compare some max speeds, 26R's for example. All behind the curtain of course!!!

Fantastic last forty minutes for the Sixties race especially the three last laps. Andy Newall was very fast after the pit stop, could have finished fourth overall buuuut a sad 57 seconds penalty for pit window infringement changed his result. What a race they had, many leader changes, a lot of FCY, and probably a lot of fun. Well done all.

Well, not only 57 seconds but it seems Andy's co-driver has been too fast in the pit lane, hence another 1'30" penalty. A fast weekend I'd say…

The weekend at Dijon had a bit of everything, sun/rain/oil/wind/thunder. Last minute drive in the 60s endurance...there were a lot of cars on track! A few people at the front with a desperate need to win it would appear. A number of badly damaged cars over the free practice, quali and race. Seems to be no mention of Paul Ricard - but was another well organised event, bit too hot for some of the older cars and people! |

Well deserved kudos to you…
 I cant explain the madness of the last laps of the Sixties race but may be people have been waiting too long for those moments. Just saw that Damien # 16 spinned his Cobra in Pouas curve when he only had few kilometers to drive to the chek' flag. The official time keeper of PA events does not allow us to make use of the results anymore. As to Ricard, just found this but sorry its in french: https://www.hvmracing.fr/wp-content/...-1-commu-5.pdf https://www.hvmracing.fr/wp-content/...-2-commu-6.pdf Results: https://www.its-results.com/gphf1/20...6-617ca63362aa Just scroll down after the event and all results will appear. I know you're more familiar with this than I am. |

First few laps of 60s were a bit crazy as well!
All the racing at Ricard is available on youtube also - link to day 1 below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wThS7YZHLHM |

Alors ça, c'est le pompon Chris, j'en suis tombé sur les fesses! Incroyablement stupide. Si tu utilises un VPN tu as dû choisir la Chine et chercher place Tian'anmen!!!???
Je présume que le jour 2 ne peut t'aider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpcPLpRzMmA Dommage, car les commentaires français sont assez croquignolesques! Dans quel monde on vit? |

Thanks for the link, Will, I had'nt find it yet. The french comments are not really professional to say the least and stay polite but some images are great to watch.
What the heck could not be seen in Aus about historic race cars? Weber carbs', Dunlop brakes, wide angle heads… |

Ce n'est pas une grosse perte, cette fois…
Hormis les commentaires dans notre langue. Ou alors c'est un coup de nos services secrets, il doit être possible de trouver les noms dans les Yellow Pages! Ou alors ils ont perdu les clefs et l'adresse de leur immeuble! Ici, tout est possible…

Aussies..not like it's got Corona!! That's annoying - maybe Base79 sports are going to be showing the full days racing on tv...or not! btw all my quali times in HGPCA were deleted apart from my first timed lap...without any warning/reasoning...and our guy in race control had a list of the track limit warnings! Didn't do anything different in both HGPCA races and 70mins of the 60s races! |

One win with record du tour and one second place in F1, you made yourself at home!
Have a look in its results to MHSC P2 stewards decision 8. You cant drive a Chevron the same way you handle Pug it seems… Best of show, a driver got some funny laurels: track limits and white lane at pits exit all during the same race. |

Haha there are a lot of decisions at the bottom of the gent drivers one.
My quali issue was at Dijon! Still luckily my first lap wasn't too bad so still had pole! |
