Brilliant news.

Nothing since has matched the madness of this event or my first european trip down there.

Cracking photos..I hired the below GT550 from a local bike shop, telling the owner I was taking it to the coast, he wasnt too happy when I returned it with 3,000 miles on the clock and fooked tyrs...the straw bales on tge FZR where for bedding, wise move, I hadnt realised (or cared, at the time) how cold it could get overnight.

Shooting shotguns at midnight whilst a mate was choosing a lady of the night where other highlights of that one..I cant remeber much about the racimg, apart from the track invasion bringing it to a halt, year was 1991.

Anyone else got some pics to add?

Paul Ricard are stepping up tobikes it seems. I just read a French mag in which they talked about the 2nd round of the European Classic Endurance round that took place there last month.

Apparently a very succesful event too with lots of old star riders such as Saron and Ago.

I was at the Bol in 2008 (at Magny Cours), it was still a mental party but nothing like the good old days. I know several guys who will be over the moon at this news biggrin

Le Beausset? The road from Bandol/Le Beausset up to the circuit is awesome.
