Enzo,
If you mean for the open pit lane on the Friday, it's a big fat zero, as it's included in the GA ticket price.
If you mean something other that that, can't help you - I didn't know there was any other general public access other than Friday.

Enzo,
Hopefully, you mean 45E not 450E !
Even at 45E (£30 ish), Friday is still a better bet I would have thought.

No, he's quite right about 450 Euros!!! And in answer to the original question, it was the same price last year!! |

May I ask what the hell you get for your 450 euros that you don't on the freebie Friday? For 450 Euros I'f be looking at favours of a sexual nature |

No matter what state your yo-yos are in, at least on the Saturday you get to mix with the big boys, and...err girls. See below, no! not there! on the screen...
While I'm on, Savaloy tells me the Pc's at his work are now Club Arnage proof, so he's asked me to extend (no, no..) his warmest new years wishes to everyone here. Also, he's to have a tricky operation on his foot soon, which will see him out of action for 6 weeks, so I'm sure we wish him well as well.
He also muttered something about Cuban cigars, but it's not past the watershed yet.

I'd say they're worth 450 each

For 450 Euros I'f be looking at favours of a sexual nature From the ACO's price sheet: Pitwalk : Admission for the practice and the race. Included: General Enclosure, The Paddock, the concurrent area, one numbered Expo car park. Access to the pit lane during the practice (up to 1 hour before the start) and on race day (from 11h30 to 12h30) The organisation may change the contents of the ticket and the schedule. Attention: Pitwalk is forbidden to unaccompanied children under 18. I suppose if you had so much money that you burn £50 notes on the fire instead of kindling then you might just go for it  |

I think I'll still go with the Friday Freebie and put the spare £300 in my pocket. May splash out (appropriate turn of phrase) on some Continental top shelf thrash mags, in place of the "real" life girls in pit lane on Saturday.

450 Euro''s? Holy sh*t! What a f**k*ng rip-off! Does bernie have a hand in that somewhere?
Save the dosh and spend it on a trip to Sebring instead. Paddock is open to the public all weekend (Including during the race) and for $180 bucks you can be perched directly above the pits. The pit box pass I should note allows you to move freely up and down the pit lane, your not confined to one spot.

Wotcher fax,
How're doing?
I thought of you guys last night while watching the footage from Sebring on the 'Cobra Ferrari Wars'. It seems the first Cobra cost less than $450. I'd still go for the lady in red though. After throttling Chris de Burgh...
I read an interesting piece the other day about Astons efforts this year. It seems that will be making 20 DBR9R's. Most of them won't be raced, and they anticipate selling them to collectors and investors as works racers, and it's this trade which will finance their racing bill. It seems that this is how they have always done it, and Ford or no Ford, they reckon it'll work again.
They could be right.
H
Fantastic footage of the testing session with the cobra and ex tank driver!

Hey H,
Yep, there's some great old Cobra-Ferrari footage out there. Carroll Shelby always enjoyed having a go at Enzo's gang. Had a great bunch of drivers too, Ken Miles, Dave McDonald, etc.
It would be shame to see all those DBR's sitting around as someone's investment, collecting dust. Racing cars should be raced!
sh*t is March here yet! The dark and cold is getting old fast. Need a fix a Florida sunshine and the smell of racing fuel.
