Went there in 03 for the F1 was really great day and I was pleasently supprised how reasonable it all was, you'd think it would be rip off city but grandstand tickets were available at about £45 each and parking all day in a hotel underground carpark was only about £3.50 It is a must do thing though at least once in your life I think...

The Ascari was going into the track to do a demonsration run between sessions...

We also bumped into this unique Ferrari on the way home about halfway between Paris and Calais, British owned and had a good chat with the owner, had been overheating and giving him trouble so they'd called it quits for the day & his engineer was travelling out to meet him the next day!

Must say I do like the Ascari...Noqt a Supercar you see every day....If ever......Wonder how many have been sold.......

Yeah probably is scary with KERS in Monaco, the DRS will help a little but the bad thing is, where do you pass in Monaco.

In the pits, at the start, other than that its a procession. Hugely overrated GP in my opinion, great venue for a race and great years ago but not seen a good race there since Senna was in his hayday.

The only place that used to sell Ascari's in the U.K was Broughtons who also were main dealer for Bentley, Pagani, Spyker and Koenigsegg. The guy who sold those cars then moved to Bob Forstner group in London and has now moved again to set up his own business called Super Vettura in Surrey.
Broughtons just sell Bentley's now and no other specialist marques.
I dont think there are many Ascari's Andy, i only know of 2, 1 Silver one like you see in Nick's pic and there is a Blue one. They were a nice car but at £235K they were not cheap.
