I took a short drive through the infield of the track. I went under the banking and parked up so I could watch the cars go along the back staight.

5 minutes later so nice Dutch chaps want to have a look at the car.
In the background you can see a strage building, this is infact the banking.

Those concrete pillers hold the track up.

I've tried walking up the banking a number of times, and failed to get to the top every time.

• Base to 90 Kmh line: Walk up hill
• 90 Kmh to 120 Kmh: Walk at strange angle
• 120 Kmh to 150 Kmh: Hands and feet
• 150 Kmh to 180 Kmh: Scrabble, effective but doesn't look good.
• 180 Kmh to near Top: Climb up cracks in concrete not looking down.
• near Top to Base: Scrape, crunch, followed by a not so gracefull decent on bum.

Next some 3 wheel Morgans.

• Ali: Quite fortunate I only let you have short messages:-) I suspect the tone of this message was not going to get better:-)

• Ali: Quote from montlhery.com The circuit was confronted in April 1997 and again in 2001 with the renewal of its permit by the national speed circuits commission. The current permit was renewed on May 9 2001 for 4 years (OJ N° 114 on 17/05/2001). Without obtaining this permit, no races can be organized. To hold the Coupes du Salon or the Grand Prix de l´Age d´Or again, some refitting work has been completed - in particular the installation of a protection net able to resist speeds of 300 km/h. for spectators in the straight line going from the stands to the turn of "des deux ponts" as well as at the top of the ring.
  
  The problem of the circuit permit comes back every four years. To save the motor-racing track, a long-term project is necessary ... (see the association of the users of the motor-racing track of Linas-Montlhery).
