hgb, were you standing there with an English flag?
I had my Drinking for Holland-shirt on, but the weather wasn't really apropriat, so it was covered with a jacket most of the time  >:(

No flag but now that you mention the "drinking" shirt... yes I remember spotting you (and having a smile). You were standing next to us.

On your small picture you can see the Audi passing the blue pit stand of Rollcentre Racing. They refuelled the Dallara moments before the Audi went past and just wheeled the fuel barrel back into the garage... scary stuff.

I didn't see the refulling in the pitlane as I was taking pictures of the Busstop at the time (that same Audi colliding with a TVR). It was my first outing with my new camera, so I got distracted enough.

As for the shirt, yes, bigger plans for next year. Counting on a 20+ crowd, big scaffolding on Karting Nord ;D

Just to clear things, I was zooming in from Eau Rouge  :-\

Hi HGB,
 Thanks for that pic. Like Andy Z I do not not know or remember the Ford so any info would be interesting.
Powermite, Loved your story about driving the 'Ring.

The barbecued R8 from where I was standing... he just arrived at the last pit.  ::)

I think that's Johnny Herbert at the front looking at the mess.
