More Fame For Turn 10 & YFDS - Don't read if Sick of Sebring

[Doris]

Like they're not famous enough already.......

Whilst working hard at the pub last night I was flicking through the bosses Top Gear mag and found their write up about this year's Floridian Race. 

They have Turn 10 down as 'terrible Turn Ten, the epicentre of race-day debauchery'. 

Also lurking in the pages of the race report is a pic of the YFDS sign along with a caption reading 'Hero-worship not stomached in Sebring's freakish infield'.

See you next year for more debauchery.

Cool!   

Any chance of someone posting or e-mailing me a scan of said page?  Amazon.com wants $160+ for 12 months and you can't buy a single issue.  I've never seen it on newstands, though we can get F1 Racing for $8. 

Thanks Doris!

Terrible Turn 10 ? Are you kidding me? Well I guess bad ink is better than no ink.

I would like to see a copy also.

If anyone has this magazine, please can they scan it for us. I read some of the article in ASDA but decided against paying nearly £4 just for a 4 page article as I wouldn't have read anything else in there.

I know Elvis too that they spoke of, so would like to e mail the scans to him.

Thanks
Regards
Chris

Had drinks with him at Petit last year, even found his home camp base...

I had the issue in my hand today in a car nut store in Rotterdam. Since I have a subscribtion on the Dutch version, I didn't buy it, because I think it will be in the Dutch issue as well.

Bought a book on Sebring instead and spent half an hour talking about cars and races with the shop owner. Nice guy, I'll be back.

BTW, Lee: are you going to Petit this year as well?

I got a big kick out of watching people walk by our camp with a look of disgusted astonishment on their face

[Fran]

a look of disgusted astonishment on their face

Why would they be looking disgusted - apart from seeing a bloke in  those inexcusable 3/4 trousers (and white ankle socks - eek)  ? 

[Flobee1kenobi]

Because it only took just over 24 hours to build that beeramid-and we were just gettin warmed up



kind of like the look you would get on your face when you're walking by the lion cage at the zoo and notice the door is standing wide open

Pieter, I plan to be there. Hurricaine season permiting of course...

Pieter,
By all means, if you can do the Petit and Sebring in one year...go for it!
The best money you'll ever spend.  If someone said to me, "You can go to Le Mans but will have to skip Sebring & the Petit....Or?  have Sebring & the Petit and pass on the Sarthe?....Its a no  brainer!  Give me the Florida sun and Georgia hills any day!

Living in the same continent helps, John.

Well, not having a wife or girldfriend does make life easier and cheaper. And a higher year bonus than expected doesn't get in the way either, so this year I might do all three. Although Petit is on the same day as the A1GP in Zandvoort, it's hurricane season in September and I'm also interested in the Bathurst 1000 in Australia in November. I've read a story on that in Top Gear magazine and the party over there is pretty wild. And the track is nothing like you've ever seen before, really great! It's just bloody far away (and therefore bloody expensive!), but it's definitely on my "to do in life list".

Your not the only one with that on their "To Do" list, its on mine too, but I can never save up enough dosh to do it though.

I have been to Bathurst, but not when the racing was on!... just went to the ATM and got back on the train!
