stmoritzer @ MagnyCours, F1 panning pics @ Adelaide updated

[stmoritzer]

one of the highlights in 2006 was my first visit to a F1 event.
I'm still amazed by the sound and the acc./decceleration of these cars, was a supercool trip to attend the training session on Friday as a quest of ACG (composite company delivering McLaren)
Arriving Thursday to Magny Cours after a looooong trip (8h +, bloody hat in the car), I found the whole circuit "open" to public, a quick visit of the rack and the pitlane was possible :D

Enjoy some impressions of the circuit:

Your first F1 WE is always something special indeed!

Magny Cours was actually my first ever motorsport event in other country, in 2001... after driving all night long leaving Barcelona at 22h and arriving Magny Cours ready for the friday first practise session, staying at the huuuge camping area, the germans, the athmosphere... it was magic! :D

Thanks for the pics David, bring back some good memories! :wink:


LOL; know that camping area in the "CAmping EST"
I had to built up my tent around midnight :lol:, found a quite place to sleep luckily, party all night long for some guys
