Of course they are both on TOCA race driver (1) and are both increadable tracks. Both used to host GPs and I would love to do a track day at either.

WAAAAAAAUW!!!!!!!!!

Our day started fine. Breakfast in the car and heading towards Zolder in Tomba's VW Golf 3. The weather was very changeable, but we didn't care! And there we were: ZOLDER! Following the signs "Media". We went to pick up or media access cards, put them around are neck and than placed our car on the parking reserved for media and VIPS. We were picked up by a shuttle (brand new Renault Espace's) and were taking to the circuit.
And so our adventure began :P ! First Quali of the FR3.5! It rained, so the track was wet and there happened a lot of incidents. Of course we were in the pits and seen none of these :oops: ! After that quali FR2.0! And than the Renault Historic cars and.......F1 Demonstration with HEIKKI! We weren't able to get an interview with Heikki because the only time that we saw him was on track and when he returned to his truck!
After lunch, the 1.6's were up and than 2.0 and 3.5.....with Tomba and me on the starting grid, taking pictures, pictures and.....more pictures :P
When the Megane's were driving, Tomba took place along the circuit to take some pictures from the F1 car that Heikki would drive for the second time today. And I rushed back to the pits, to take pictures there. I was able to get to Heikki and his car before he took the track and so took a lot of pictures of Kovalainen in the R25!
No interview again but Kovalainen did answer 1 question of mine! "Can we take a picture of you and me??" .... Kovalainen: "Okay"! And there I was, with Kovalainen (who is shorter than me btw :P )!
Principessa and the future F1 Champion :wink:
It was an amazing end of a very exhausting, but GREAT day!!!

Pictures and newsarticles will follow tomorrow! I'm too tired for that now!

WHOOOOHOOOOOOOOOW F1Technical!!! :D :D :D
