If anyone is interested in joining us on our run to Reims in July the Chateau (Domaine de Barive) still has a few rooms left.
Brief details are head off early Friday morning via Eurotunnel visit the old GP pits complex at Reims and on to the Chateau for dinner Friday night. Saturday either stay and enjoy the spa swimming pool etc at the Chateau or visit 2 champagne producers, one large and one small. Saturday evening gourmet dinner in the Chateau. Sunday drive into Reims centre park up the cars and wander round the city. Late afternoon head back for Sunday evening Eurotunnel.
So far we have a mixture of Corvette Lamborghini and Ferrari other varieties and nationalities more than welcome:-)
Happy to provide further info if needed

Sounds similar to a trip we did a month ago, we went beyond Reims tho to Troyes, a drive thru the country to Semur en Auxerre was utterly fantastic along the quiet French country roads. We spent the third night at the Ployez Jaqumant champagne house in Ludes and tasted their fine produce.

I compiled a short vid of the Reims circuit visit

Great vid, love the way you have cut to some of the original B&W. Visited the circuit and some Chateaux back in March. Standing outside the old pits was fantastic, the road was so quiet hardly a car passed. You could almost feel the atmosphere from the old cars. Can't wait to go back and line the cars up in front of the pits and take some pictures. Should be a fantastic weekend.
