Did anyone else here join the gathering on the D140 last night when the Mulsanne-Arnage stretch was back open to the public?

There were a load of people there going up and down it and no rozzers at all were around

Was good fun there last year, but when we went past it seemed empty - must have been at about 7pm...
That was me in an Escort Cosworth (stickered up), and my brother in a Pulsar GTI-R

Yeah think it was around 8 onwards when it was actively busy with Brits as we nipped down in our Silver XK Jaaag (bodykit). Local traffic was keeping it slow but the old man did a few laps then we dumped the car and sat in the run off area and watch it before it died down.

about 6.30-7 ish i went down and there was hardly anyone around. I drove slowly expecting to see a speed trap, although i found checking out all the skid marks and barrier repairs more interesting along with the track that is so much smoother and wider than i thought it would be and also more cambered.

Awesome! That's me in the red RS6. In total we were 5 up. Couldn't believe that there were no speed traps or Gendermes. We'd just had some food in arnage and decided to go for a little drive. One of the many highlights of the weekend for me. A couple of the corners were lovely and we took them pretty fast (whilst worrying about oncoming traffic loosing control) We also easily blatted up to 130 5 up.

I certainly remember seeing the orange Elise, and a couple of Mercs. Not sure if the other people in my group enjoyed it quite as much as they were in a 70bhp Skoda Fabia 4 up! Apparntly there was a yellow M3 that was maybe getting a bit carried away and doing donuts everywhere and ended up in the gravel trap (didnt see it myself)

Chocolate Monk- Is there any chance I could have a copy of the origional? would be another memento of a great weekend!

No worries, email me through PH and I will email back with full res pic attached. Should be more pics to come as well from another in our group. I missed the yellow M3 as well as I was driving down towards Mulsanne at the time.

I will get the other pics on here as soon as they are uploaded.

Cheers CM.

Yeh we were down there for a bit, me in my Focus RS and my mate in Escort Cosworth. Saw most of those cars giving it some slipper, lol.

Was great to have a quick blast round, had a play with that Exige and Ginetta. smile

Will definitely pop down there again next year!
