Gary what you need to do is go down to Maplins and get yourself a power adaptor. Check this one out as an example Regulated Car Power Adaptor at only £14.99

Anyone know what the insurance situtation is regarding the 'parade laps' is?

Luke · Post by **Luke** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 10:03 pm

it's a race track, you need track day type insurance unless your standard policy has such cover.

essentialy i think you'll find 95% of the cars will be uninsured

I rang my insurance company about this. they said that they would cover me for the odd non competitive track event in the uk but as it was Europe they couldn't cover me. I guess a lot of us will just have to be careful.

At least this time we definatly out number Mark & his 911 vs 944 banter

Good point re. Insurance.

TBH I was surprised there was no 'incident' last time as it was a bit of a free for all. GT2's blasting past me as if I was stood still ( & I was doing 130mph at the time

)

I'd better have a word with my insurance company.

insurance?!

don't be a big girls blouse.

Better than a rev-limiter knowing you're paying for it if you bend it.

Just received e-mail conformation for my Le-Mans booking!

Luke · Post by **Luke** » Mon Apr 24, 2006 8:36 am

as have I yippee!!

Dear Porsche Driver,

We have well received your Le Mans Classic form.
Il is complete and has been validated.

Around mid-june, we will send you a letter that will let you know how
to pick up your tickets at the circuit entrance, like for the last Le
Mans Classic in 2004.

I've received nothing yet!

I'll have to check with my PCGB booker tonight

Fingers crossed.

Can you overtake on the parade laps? Judging by Jame's photos from last year on PCGB I may need to let a few people past as my lowly 130bhp is not that high up the Porsche food chain

I over took a couple of cars ( on the straights) & and was soundly overtaken by plenty of others

Just keep an eye on your mirrors. I took some very 'safe / wide' lines around some corners to make sure I didn't end up with a GT2 implanted in the side of my car

The parade laps are great fun though
