The Race Of Gentlemen 2014

[Jonneville]

This was really something very special - so good that I'm not sure I can go back, it was that perfect.

Killer backdrop with a ferris wheel and not one, not two but three roller coasters.

Something strangely calm about a deserted seaside town.

Ryan's report says it all http://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=24342.

Attention to detail was intense, right down to '30s style racing jerseys for each competitor with your number on the back.

I made at least 25 runs in the roadster.

There are loads of photos on the internet but here are a few of my favourites...

Maybe I'll say a bit more when my head's stopped spinning.
