Yep, i have to say it was great fun. Some of the roads we drove on the way back were some of the best ive driven on. Im glad the 310 stood up to the task too..
Even the trek through the forest to get to the mulsanne straight was fun looking back, despite falling into a ditch!
And thanks to Paul for letting me and Martin kip in his tent

Rupert, I paid for your laps and gave the money to Stephen, I had to use your name signing in - Maybe if you contact Stephen to sort it out, I am sure there is a good explanation.

Yes, I've got some cash for Rupert.

If anyone wants to complain about the lack of laps for the Renault cars then here's the contact details.

Company: Peter Auto
Contact: Gautier Rossignol
Email: grossignol@peter.fr

Please be polite though. I've already promised not to complain...

I would have thought, half the laps, half the payment...

I think you'll find there's a disclaimer though and if you only get one it's tough, just a shame it was us though.

Running out of time for the parade laps is a poor excuse.
It only takes 5 mins to lap around, they could easily have fitted 1 more lap in for most of us, or at least for the cars that were not limping round.

However, I did fell that we had a pretty fast lap, it certainly was not a slow parade lap. Many Renault cars said that they were well up into 3 fuigure speeds. No idea if the other clubs were running slower, but I suspect not, as 3 porkers all spun off near the Dunlop bridge.
