Last Saturday I decided to go visit Spa on Sunday.
I had a nice drive (about 2 hrs) up there. The weather was treating us well!
Arrived in Spa and parked right next to David Scaife's car, the only GT40 I saw in the classic car parking lot.
Later that day I met David and his son. We had a nice chat before he left off to GB. (@ David: I hope you had a good trip home)
I also ran into Paul Brameld just before he set off for his track session.
Also nice meeting him after he did me a favour a couple months ago, bringing both our gearboxes from Frank Catt to Chris Cole to get the Quaife LSD build in. (@ Paul: Did you get home with a cool gearbox?)

Walking through the paddock, I met Claude Nahum. He a very nice and lucky man owning 2 original GT 40's (P1078 & P1060) and an exact replica of P1075.
He was there to race P1078. Unfortunately he retired from the race after just a couple of laps due to some kind of mechanical problems.

And a couple of Lola's T70 going up Eau Rouge

Again a couple of Lola's T70, together with a Chevron B16

Looking forward to LMC !!!!
