A l’aube d’une très belle matinée le 14 octobre 2007.  Pendant la  visite en France de  Bill Hunter (du site Motormarques ) et moi-même, nous partons  pour Dangé Saint Romain,Vienne. Parallèlement à cette rencontre, a également eu lieu des expos de vielles motos, de véhicules militaires anciens, de voitures de collection, avec la participation des membres du Teuf Teuf Club, 86140 Scorbé Clairvaux, et plein d’autres clubs de la région. A notre arrivée, nous avons été accueillis par les membres de l’association.

A few days before Autumn one of the best historic race events in the world takes place in Belgium at the Francorchamps circuit near Spa. This year 15th edition was one of the best ever, the weather was outstanding and the race classes were better then ever especially for the touring car enthusiasts.Some 600 cars took part in 11 different races over the weekend, with over 1000 drivers. For the Formula One 2007 Grand Prix the track layout of Spa-Francorchamps was  changed. The renovation started in November 2006 and finished in May 2007, costing around 8,85 million Euros.  The Bus Stop chicane was re-designed again and it has been returned into a right hander and left hander including the pit lane entrance. The new entrance has drawn criticism for being too tight for the entry speed drivers will likely approach it at.The La Source hairpin is much wider now, allowing more space for the new pit/paddock complex and the new layout gives the bonus of higher cornering speed. To many of the drivers the new circuit layout feld marginally slower than before but the track still demonstrates the importance of driving skills more than any other in the world.
