Hi Horts
I saw you at F1 Camping..What a mess !!!
Did you get your Aston Martin out OK ?
My car was horrible in the mud, so got the car out on Sunday morning after a struggle, and left straight after the race. Got to Calais and booked a room for the night and went in search of a place to pressure wash the car off.
Shame about the rain. The final storm put paid to any hope of most getting out of the field. I think that field is now ruined. My only complaint of F1 camping was to many young people running the site. Not able to put plain B into motion. The guy with the RR Discovery was well out his depth if you ask me. When I asked what he was going to do, to help us people he just starred at the ground. Some alloy road slates like they use at Silvertone and Goodwood when its wet should have been the plan of action But he hadn't covered himself in case of the eventual rains....he just didn't care or was worried.
I will not be camping with F1 camping again.
Yes thanks, I got it out on Sat morning and left it out on the road, I can't say I was impressed with my camping experience, either, next time think I will book mealier and get a hotel in Stavelot!

Yes that site was a bloody mess and I think the organisers could have done more to assist drivers. I should have stayed till Monday but left Sunday night and headed back to blighty after a pitstop in Calais.
