Here's some more sunny photos from the old digital (all pictures are clickable and the IMAGE MAP page links most of the pictures to a plan of the circuit):
 |
Once again I started off in Casino Square. Luckily was able to park the old F50 right
in front of the Hotel de Paris :-). |
 |
Down by the tunnel I found a lost Historic Car orbiting the roundabout. |
 |
From Historic Race cars to the absolute latest in digital technology. Here you see one
of many, many, many silver trucks which brought in the FOCA Digital TV Studio. The silver
blocks are being stuck together like lego in one of our under ground car parks. From this
studio will be broadcast the digital 6 channel pay-per-view version of the Grand Prix TV
show which is available in some countries. |
 |
Another silver truck, the last time I went round there were seven parked end to end in
the Loews tunnel waiting to unload there precious cargo. |
 |
Inside the tunnel now, sorry about the funny colours. Note the lights on the right
which are used to compensate for the sudden darkness as you enter the tunnel a great
speed. |
 |
Many people have asked to see the views from the different stands. Here's a forward
shot from the top of the chicane stand. |
 |
and here is a backward shot from the same place. |
 |
Moving round to the main grand stand and a nice view of the new corner. Note the
run-off area to the right. The trucks you see are delivering the historic cars. |
 |
Now we are at the pits end of the main stand - in the most expensive seats in the
house (250 US$ each on race day). In the distance you can see the big black square of the
large TV screen. |
 |
And looking the other way - its straight down onto pit lane. |
 |
From the little stand next door (our backs to the swimming pool) you get a great view
of the new corner and are right on top of the run-off area. Once again you can see many of
the transports for the historic cars. |
 |
From the Rascasse stand you get a great view of the action at one of the circuits
slowest corners. Here the only action is more historic car transports. |
 |
Looking the other way you get an amazing view of the port (that's Italy in the far
distance) and down along the second pits area. Here you can see the lines of tents for the
historic cars. |
| Lots of cars down in the tents, all very historic. I don't
actually know much about these cars, but for those that do here are some photo's: |

and finally the picture you've all been waiting for - the beach. |

Till next time.
