I'll be there Mike, with 2 other Brits in the Mini race, although the grid is tiny this year, after 2 startline shunts last year put the fear through the drivers, which is a real shame, as I'm told 26 Mini's into the first corner last year was quite a sight!
You need to arrive in Pau town centre Thursday am, and they escort you down to the paddock next to the Gare. Type in Rue du Maquis du Béarn, and pull up in the car park adjacent. Beware the overhanging trees on the way down!
It was actually one of the highlights, as the bloke who drives the 'escort car', some Citroen family shopping car, wears full nomex, puts his flashing orange lights on, and hares off into the distance, no doubt left foot braking into the turns, leaving you so far behind that you have no idea where to go! Classic stuff.
The one paddock toilet is less classic, but maybe they've looked into that. As it were...
