Stuarts Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I'm setting off this afternoon with a bunch of mates and on the overnight ferry. I'm taking the 997. We're staying at the Rive Sartre Chateau and it just happens that there's a Piston Heads gathering at our digs on the Friday night, free for anyone - just have to print off the windscreen ticket.

Dr Rock Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 “On your way through France... On 1st July the open road speed limit (non-autoroute) was reduced from 90kph to 80kph. The gendarmes are out in force this week, apparently.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that the Porsche club of France rented a huge field and then made the boxsters park 200m away from anything air cooled. Trying to tell them something?

hetherc Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Just back late last night from my 6th CLM and what a great event! Porsche overload - even special races this year populated almost entirely by 911s. Stayed on the Pistonheads site where breakfast/dinner and pre-erected tents are provided alongside a bar and Tv coverage of the football and GP. One of the highlights was the drive down and back, we went Poole/Cherbourg and home via Portsmouth last night. Again loads of IBs on the ferry. Seven cars in our convoy incl 2x IBs Two years to wait for the next one☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddevil Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Some phone snaps from me. Did anyone else get a good look at the Paul Stephens Clubsport II? Based on a 3.2. Lovely interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkJ Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 couple of my 'action' shots, didn't take many photos this time as was too damn hot!. Such a great weekend of seeing just about every cool race car from your childhood up to the 90's. Only thing that cheesed me off this year (and also blighted the main 24hr race) was the endless safety car and slow-go zones that ruined nearly every race we watched, got to love health and safety gone mad.

reddevil Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Slow zones were ridiculous. Like let's keep a double waved yellow out for the rest of the race for a car parked up on the armco inside of a corner ridiculous. Ruined the Group C race from where we were sitting.
