V8 Lady Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Off on a well deserved break. Historic meeting at Le Mans. Bert Smeets in his Chevron and Chris Marx in the V8 group 44 car. Spa six hours who else will be there. Got my tent but if anyone has a spare sofa ? Hoping to scatter some of Alec's ashes on the long straights of old from his Chevron days.

Ben's wife Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Have a good TRip Diane! Lovely to see you last week and I will catch up with you when you get back. Big hugs, Vicky xx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ragtag Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Have a great weekend at Spa Diane. I'm sure Alec would appreciate being 'in some corner of a foreign field circuit' I hoped to make Spa this year, as a 60th Birthday present to myself but I've had to 'bin' it due to work pressures. Maybe next year................... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malcolm Tatton Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Told Alec that I would raise a glass in the old grandstand at the start of the 6 hours, either to his health or to his memory, so I'll be there..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MadMarx Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Was a pleasure Diane, to have you at the track. Every muscle hurts from driving that car on the podium, and my right ear seems a little deaf. Maybe the ear plug wasn't sitting well.

Motorsport Mickey Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Much nicer Christian, power going down earlier and the car balancing upon the throttle in the faster corners, getting there now. The engine sounds sweet and is giving good power. Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MadMarx Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Yes Mick, the car is tamed and under control. A good starting point from there to make it faster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jellison Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Is that all of the Le mans track you get to do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MadMarx Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Thanks god yes. The big track is far too stressing for the cars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
V8 Lady Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Thanks for all your replies. I found a spot on the Mulsanne that is armedcoed off all year close to the chicane. A little shumac tree was there. A will get the wind in his hair twice a year. Many thanks to madman and the YTCC guys and girls who made me so welcome. Touring gently across to Spa. Chillier night tonight as heading north now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
V8 Lady Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) I will Dd a few photos when home. Bert is competing at Spa in his Chevron. A was recounting test set up on the old long circuit to Tom only last year. Life's coincidences. . . Edited September 12, 2018 by V8 Lady Quote Link to post Share on other sites
