I'd agree with Scotty, other than Zandvoort & Ledenon the tracks were average at best.
Bresse was generally fairly pants with just a few interesting corners (1st, 3rd and last...). Var du Luc had a nice flow with the cones removed, really liked it - just a pita with them in place for most of the day. Sambuc I liked the 2nd chicane, 1st a bit rubbish although surpisingly liked the fiddly jump at the end.

A fair assessment.
I'll add something later but I have work to do.
I feel like I should be in the land of nod this morning. I think it's all just catching up.

Whilst having a text-versation on the Belgian motorways re: lack of attractive people I drove under this bridge and thought it was aptly titled

I did manage to take a snap of it ...
Was looking for it on google maps but couldn't find it, then discovered the website of the company that built it ... it's quite a cool thing actually!
Cheers,
Robin

Toll bill just in...
£113.80
How does that compare? Bit less than I expected tbh.

Mine was £168
It will also have the cost for the transponder as well, which is about £35 I think.

I was £131.33 - less than expected so happy enough, especially as my sat nav was so unpredictable

£130.97 for tolls - and I have seen Benny's estimated total cost

, that said I think about 5k all in - 2.5k spent on getting the car ready for Frolic though....
