Finding the BMW Clubs getting ready for a few laps around the 24h circuit







Ran into Olivier who immediately offered us passenger rides, great!

Thanks gents, looking back on a fabulous event.

And I just heard a rumour... the original ex Ronnie Peterson HAT 320i (E21 Group 5) just had it's shakedown test in Australia after years and years of restore. Still some niggles to tend to but the plan is to run some events in Australia the upcoming season, and the ultimate goal is to attend Le Mans Classic 2018 with it... guess I'll have to be back by then
