My preferred vantage point is on the inside of Tertre Rouge, which leads on to the Mulsanne Straight...

As forecast, the rain did arrive around 11.30pm and continued for about 12 hours. The racing continued through the night though but mostly under yellow flag conditions, so we headed back to camp around 1ish for a nightcap :occasion5: :D

Despite the noise of the rain on the tent and the sound of the racing, it was still easier to get some sleep than on the ferry behind that snoring f e cker :lol:

Sunday piccies...

At least our cars got nicely washed off :thumbright:

Thanks Matt, I've always thought your car was a good '10-footer' :)
You'll have to get a barrier to put round it at the NEC, so it's only viewed from 10 foot away :lol:

On Monday morning we vacated the camp site before the 10am deadline and headed for the local supermarche for brekkie and to top up on travel snacks, eg le haribo etc :)

With the car also refuelled we headed off thru the drizzle towards Dieppe, stopping a couple of times for more grub and more fuel :roll:

Next stop was an unscheduled one as Matt wanted to check a worrying noise, which he thought was coming from the n/s/f wheel...

And finally, the last leg back to Dieppe...

The queue for the ferry was better than any classic car show we'd been to since... well, Le Mans, I guess :lol:
