Rusty visits Circuit De Reims

Postby stujags » Wed Sep 13, 2023 8:57 am

Just back from four day trip to Reims and a visit to Circuit De Reims. Accompanying Rusty was an XK150 and V12 E Type. All cars worked well in 35 degree heat, Rusty’s AC was enviable to other drivers.
We had leaking fuel lines, loose oil filter and blown coolant hose but all cars made it back from Reims in a single day. Around 12 hours driving !

My son made a video of our trip

Stu,

Brilliant! Looks like you had a blast! And the car did well! Just one leaking hose is a great result!

Reims is a great place to visit; it's like a British race circuit, but a long way away. I'm always amazed that there's far more Brits who visit it than French!

We always do the obligatory photoshoot at the Jaguar pit! And. of course, the VERY, VERY fast sprint down the straight!

Here's to your next trip!

Cheers

Paul
