Hi Jannick, I'm also a marshal on the mulsanne but at post 31, which is by the tram terminus before the first chicane. We can feel the suction as they come past us at 185+ mph ,an awesome site.  I'm with a crowd of Belgian marshals from Zolder and Spa, meeting up with them at Spa for the GP every year. This year will be my 20th in a row !!

I've still got the programme, also for the GP that year, and the 1000km programme for 1970.
The 1970 programme has a lap chart we did and also shows the time intervals between cars !!

For some reason I gave up with the lap chart after two laps in 1971 !!

Thanks for the kind comments folks, I will know on Tuesday what the score is. Had a big scare in December but I think that now the tumours are dormant, or stable so if so may not have to go back on chemo.
Fingers crossed for Tue !!! I'll be at Le Mans whatever the result though !!

Or this !!

No charge for using this on the back !!

And if you want to come with me it's free to camp and free entrance tickets !!

I marshall the GP every year at Spa, and have done so twice at Monza. We have been able to climb (not walk up )the banking in the week preceding the GP and it is so full of history, you can almost hear and feel the cars thundering around it !! I'm not sure what Ascari is like from a speccy point of view but it was awesome as a marshall, that is one experience I will never forget as they came under the baking and " attempted " to get through the first left hander !! As has been said the Parabolica and also the first chicane are special places to be but  then so is the whole circuit, it just leeks history and passion out of every pore.
The same as Spa one of the true great places left to experience in the sport. If you do go to Spa do take the time to go round the old long circuit ( I saw the last GP on it won by Pedro Rodriguez ) who held the lap record in the 917, spent 8 mins in top gear, didn't lift for the Masta kink and went round the slightly banked corner at Stavelot at 185 mph  !!!!
Both awesome circuits !

        And another 2

For all you know he may have had been converted and may now be a big Santa fan !!
 

Hope everybody has a good one , see some of you next year all being well, thanks for your support   folks,
 Gordon.  

I hope It'll be better than the old Lotus 30 !! I seem to remember that being a bit of a dog !
