That quattro was next to us on our camp site, looked pretty good but I hope his paintwork's in good nick otherwise he'll have fun taking the stickers off!

I thought 'Mad Friday" was a bit boring this year to be honest.. Gendarme everywhere.

The museum is well worth a visit, as it's all changed. A big revamp in April with loads of stuff to drool over, including some good driver profiles and lots of previous winning cars.

Its only about 8 euros to get in aswell, so well worth it if you're there. You can park around the back for free aswell!

thanks for the info.

I bet you spend more time drooling over the models of the pits complex than over the real cars Rich !! I think there are four or five displays showing the pits over the years complete with all the cars, marshals, mechanics and photographers etc etc.
