Circuit Paul Ricard - Fast cars, rich people, beautiful women...

[mattupson]

Well got back from South of France Sunday evening after being out there with work for the official 'rollout' of our cars.

What an amazing weekend, lovely weather and atmosphere. Quite a few problems with some cars but ours run fine bar a crank pullet bolt coming loose and loosing all collant from a rad hose. Nothing serious eh...

The ammount of money being spent oon this project is silly, as is the wealth of the customers.

Few pics and sweet movie.

Those cars look awesome.

Whats your part in all of this?

 

[mattupson]

No.2 Mechanic mate.

Spent most of the week polishing the feckers though heh.

>Spent most of the week polishing the feckers though heh.

I could think of worse places to be while poishing the feckers

Do you need a spanner carrier on your next trip?

 

[Beef-Mc]

Small price to pay to go out there and do that!

Would love to do something like that.

 

[Englebert]

Is that semen you have smeared on the lens as they probably the worse pictures i have ever seen LOL.

I'm not a fan of the normal SLR but those race ones look sweet, what are they? Do you ever take them to Dunsfold?

 

[mini-valver]

[bradfincham]

I absolutely Paul Ricard, without a doubt the best test track in the world.

Caterham run a 6 hr endurance race there every year and the welcome and hospitality is amazing.
We scuffed one of the kerbs on the circuit entrance with the truck and within 15 mins they had repainted it!

SLR looks awesome in race spec i must say. What series they running in or they Fia GT equalisation tests?
