great until the gendarmes released pepper spray at the crowd dont you mean?


i was there for a huge amount of friday evening, and small amounts of each subsuquent evenings, never came across the police pepper spraying the crowd. when did this happen? all i saw was the police going with their sirens on waving at us!

would be very interesting to know which day and what time this happened?


cheers!

i think it was on a saturday there was a caterham that was powersliding round (last year) and he powerslid into a guy on one of thos petrol scooter things you see loads of, nobody hurt (except a little dent on the car) but it could have been a lot worse.

i shall be out there on the friday with my video camera!!! (any excuse to use it!) gonna be a bit of a walk from the airtrack vip karting site, last year on the houx annexe it was spitting distance, better get those walking shoes on!!

i will be back this year spent all of friday afternoon at the enterence to houx/houx annex last year


bloody hell, i was stood there for around an hour, waiting for my brother to turn up, just managed to spot an enzo cruising past while i was there!! you didnt see that did you? we could have been standing next to each other!! lol

also saw some sort of a convoy with a gumball-esque logo on their bonnets maybe rabbit run? that goes to le mans i think.

i took my dad to the roundabout and he even found it a good laugh, and not many things impress him!!!

Just down from the roundabout some Fins were encouraging people to spin up their wheels. One who did was this nutter in a Focus;

Nutter

(Warning - 10Mb)

After this, he parked up in Houx Annexe behind us and said 'Thank you Avis'



he was so close to nearly hitting that galaxy as he was doing that wheelspin.

whereabouts was this? near to the karting track? or the other way near tunnel under the corner to the mulsanne straight?
