All of what hotwire said.....apart from Paddock pass, long sold out and usually can't buy on day. However all is not lost, make your way to the bottom past the paddocks and see the cars preparing to go to grid or returning off track. Also head to the Ford Chicane area where they line up to go on track. 3rd time in 4 events for me, same cars year on year so passing on the Paddocks pass and saving 45eur and spending time walking the club stands on Bugatti circuit. Enjoy it....water,water and more water!!
If going cross country remember speed limits have changed in France, 90ks are now 80ks unless it has central barrier and 3-4ks over will get you a pull, none of the 5mph and 10% over here.

If neither can be refurbished I’m really in trouble as they’re not manufactured any more. I guessed I’d have to get something machined - maybe a driveshaft and CV joint from another vehicle so the outer end of the driveshaft matches the new cv joint and then the hub would need to be machined to match the new cv joint. Is that a possibility?! Does anyone know companies that do that kind of thing?! Cheers in advance for any possible solutions! a bookmark of interest sees the light of day.... yokohamamotors.net/page61.html#1750

on every other car so far the first thing they've done is jet wash. why not this one? the wheels? strange how 'apparently' they go the refurb place and then appear painted and tyres on the same day or early the next? so the business plan keeps getting pushed re: timescales but did they jump from the £300 offer whilst sat in the car at scrappy, 'we know what needs to happen' turned into to dropping it off
already planned to be a scrapper?

Bleedin electrics *shakes fist* i'll second that....i know absolutely FA about the dark side of cars....i once very nearly set fire to my Scimitar messing around with the dash clock, they like to work with the terminals fitted correctly apparently! my advice? be careful Just remembered i've left the Beat on charge in a locked garage, rushes out to check!!!
