Andy, did you develop these prints in your tent?
Everyone's got their shirts tucked in, so that makes it earlier than 95. Oh, go on, have a guess.........89?

No and no! Camera was a Kodac Instamatic using Ilford ASA10 Supa-economy film on an F-all setting.

And that flash powder is bloody dangerous too!!

Aaah, I've just got the rest of the pictures. Not that that makes me any the wiser, but what a marvellous effort from The Man on The Ground! He must surely be worth honorary membership in Club Arnage. I think it was 87 when the Fleche Rouge flew past, but I'm quietly confident that's not what he's watching.
Well done that man! Respect!

I'm just waiting for someone from this forum to admit that they are in fact the one laying passed out!!  Smiley

Yes 1990. But how did you know? Certainly, I think it was the last year before they replaced the old pits.

That was the year I bust my Grandstand cherry. We sat opposite the pits and saw a horrible pile up in one of the support races. One car was t-boned right at the start, and the flames actually singed our eyebrows in the front row. The unfortunate pilot was trapped in the car, his missus had jumped the pit wall and was running around the car screaming. It took a while to get him out, and the poor fellow didn't make it. Sad scenes indeed.

sh*t - don't remember that fire - this was my first year at the Sarthe - I remember sitting over the old pits in the night taking pictures of the cars below.   That was when you could basically dangle your legs over the wall and look down through the windshields of the cars.  I think the 300Zs gave the year away Andy.

Remember the crash but we were still on the campsite at the time and just saw a huge plume of billowing smoke etc. in the distance. Saw a very smashed up 309 GTi (that was the support race that year) later on in the paddock and often wondered what happenend to the driver, very sad to hear that he succumbed.  Sad

I thought the support race incident involved a Renault 21 Turbo.
There was also a bit of a wreckfest the year they had the Diablo SV's as a support. Christ, what year was that? It was another "Phew, what a scorcher, Missus" but they are all kind of merging into one seemless blob in my distant memory. Must be all that Grimbergen.
