Saturday saw me getting bitten by all kinds of insects at Oulton Park for the opening event of the 2014 season. You should see the state of my legs! It was well worth it though.
I haven't seen 2CV racing before, it's comically slow at times but very close and very entertaining. The racers all appear to really enjoy it, there's lots of chatter in the pits and teams helping each other out. The sight of three or four of them side-by-side all jostling for position and/or slipstreaming each other along the straights is a must-see, and of course that distinctive soundtrack magnified many times over adds massively to the atmosphere.
So here are some pics:
