this might have been while you were there:

http://www.pistonspy.com/spyshots/record-of-the-ferrari-599xx-at-the-nurburgring-announced-in-beijing

....It was. Already posted earlier in this thread.

The 599xx was on our trackday too.

....The Frenchies probably enjoy scaring us. Perhaps it's something being discussed or intended in the future. I hope you're wrong and I'm sure you hope you're wrong too.  :happy2:

I read it somewhere last month, that Euro countries are going to start sharing databases at sometime this year, so if you gets points over there they will appear back in Blighty. Dont know where i read it, but it was based on catching Euro drivers over here more than us lot abroad.  :happy2:

Then the next question has to be whether getting points in Euro will be automatic. I expect that the 'offence' will have UK points automatically added when appearing on Big Bully Brother's feckin' database.

More than one of my collegues have been given 'dodgy'on the spot fines in France  :fighting: No paper work or reference
even when asked for.  Pretty certain they pocket the cash

^^^^
The Belgian police who pulled me were pretty scathing about the French police. I got paperwork, though I haven't actually looked at it yet!

Anyway, we got back and both had a great time. I wanna do their next trackday in August.
