Back in the mists of time I followed Endurance racing, went to a few of the big events, including the biggie.. The Bol D'Or at the Paul Ricard circuit in the South of France. Took my little brother with me, he was only twelve or so at the time. We went on my trusty overloaded Z750, camping out in a borrowed tent that leaked like a sieve. The year we went was the first time they had to stop the race for awhile in the night due to heavy rain and fog..
In the years since, the rules have changed so all the weird and wonderful one off bikes were banned, and the bikes became 750 superbikes with lights.. yawn.. They even moved the Bol away for Paul Ricard - Sacra bleu !
Until a couple of years ago when the Classic Bol D'or race was invented, with all the old seventies and Eighties bikes I liked..
Only took 31 years, but we are planning our return.. the tickets arrived today
