Default Circuit International des Remparts d'Angoulême

This is what I'm doing tomorrow;
http://www.circuit-des-remparts.com/...7c7a5ef9a9a025
I was booked in to take part in tomorrow's rally in the Model A and despite getting it running, roadworthy and registered in time I believe it needs the head gasket replacing so it will have to wait until next year. Although appearing in the official programme as driving a Model A Ford I've had to resort to Plan B and will be driving a 2004 Porsche instead.
Have a look at the whole weekend's programme, the cars taking part in this evening's Concours and Sunday's circuit racing are pretty special.

I feel your pain. After completely removing the hydraulic brake system & installing mechanicals on the roadster, we found out that the engine is running on 2 & 1/2 cylinders! So instead of taking part in the Model A Day activities tomorrow it'll be time for a garage day!

This was the pick of today's cars. If you look closely there's a Ford V8 in the background. There was a lovely 1930 Model A Speedster but I will have to get the photos of that off my camera.

It really was really lovely. There was a 4 1/2 litre Bentley too which was pretty good as well!
