Sadly the "ex F1" element of the thing inevitably turns it into a bit of a circus with all the attendant "sorry, you can't go there" stuff and drivers hiding in trailers. However M. Alesi did a few choice doughnuts to say goodbye to his adoring French fans, and good to see Hakkinen has had the F1 stick removed from his rear end and was charming and available to all.
Glad you liked the pics. Some more "in the pipeline".
