Definitely!
In pre-RLM days, however, they were the only realistic means of staying in touch with the race over the 24 hours. The once-an-hour English update on the tannoy system was fine, but you couldn't always hear it, thanks to the noise of passing cars.
I recall a pair of them at Arnage Corner right next to the two phone boxes which you entered at your peril. They stank of Gauloises and garlic.
