Title: Jannine Finally Sells Out
Post by: Lorry on September 10, 2023, 09:46:26 pm
I've picked up a message on another forum a few weeks back that Jannine has finally retired. There's confusion about who's bought it. We assume the ACO, but this is denied. As its on the other side of the bypass it has little use, other than a bar, but I bet it'll be trashed
Had this message been on FB, I'd never have found it again.
Anyone know any more

I had also seen this (and that the ACO were the buyers) - I believe it was in a French article somewhere, I'll see if I can find it again but it was quite a while back now.

Confirmed that the ACO acquired it in July this year.
No news yet on what they intend to do with it.
Corporate shinnanigens again, I suspect.

Sadly I’d never been but the ACO buying it can’t be good for its future

Sad news didn't make it every year up to it. But had a few fun times. I particularly remember 2011 with all the safety car time spending way too much time enjoying the entertainment and libations.
