Hmmmm, not sure a hans device wold work in my car.

Will be taking the Van Diemen, entry is in and ferry booked, so should be good.

Some of my friends have been before and have said it is worth going, good fast hill,

great organisation and lots of eating and drinking.

HANS is only required for cars after '76 I think, so if you have an older car why not give it a go.

For info, Google hillclimbfrance and click St Goueno for all the details.

Yes, I did read that. I don't have a car that old.

I do St. Goueno and la Pommeraye every year and would nt dream of missing it. I borrow a hans device from a friend for the meetings so dont have a problem there. The rules are a bit strict but well worth the effort.....

That looks like a great hill, car sounds well also

Did you find my car on a video or something. Hopefully it should sound a lot better this year after being dyno'd properly. Seems to be running really well now. Had a test day at Curborough and really enjoyed myself, though the meeting at Mallory Park was destroyed by snow....Roll on May 22nd, can't wait to get on the ferry.....

Good run, but it's not me. You should look for a video of La Pommeraye from one of the cameras on the quick French single seaters. The top curves are taken at over 130 mph.....

Lol, o.k.
