Re: French Frolic 2022
You also need a yellow jacket
For the warning triangle, don't use it on highway (it's too dangerous, stay behind security fence) , only on small road.
Have a nice trip

Re: French Frolic 2022
What an epic trip that was!
Trackdays were fantastic as usual and the days in the Apls were sublime. Fantastic roads and the weather couldn't have been better.

The 830 mile slog back home from Reims yesterday not so much... lol
