WEEKLY WINNERS


More participants here at Sarcastic Mom Weekly winners

When I was in the Ardennes, we also visited a museum of old cars and racing cars which had been used on the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Formula One Belgian Grand Prix and the Spa 24 Hours endurance race. It is also home to the all Volkswagen club event, 25 Hours of Spa, run by the Uniroyal Fun Cup. It is considered to be one of the most challenging race tracks in the world, mainly due to its fast, hilly and twisty nature. Spa is a favourite circuit of many racing drivers and fans.

I used to have one 2 CV in the 80th



























I am not a fan of cars, but these oldtimers are quite interesting !

FORMULAR 1 IN BELGIUM

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

The famous Formular 1 car racing takes place in Francorchamps/Spa, this week-end. I am not very interested in car racings but it is Mr. Gattino's favourite sport and that, nobody can ignore !

Today and tomorrow he will be scotched to the TV screen and shout his comments to the cats, as nobody else would listen to him.

Especially Arthur is a very good listener as you can see.

A few years ago he even went there himself together with dear son, but they came back both very disappointed. They only had seen flying cars where you hardly could recognize the color, supported noises near the sound barrier, and all that on a very uncomfortable seat. Since then, he prefers his sofa of course. After the race, the phone calls start because cats unfortunately don't have an own opinion, they always agree.

Entrance prices seem to me very expensive, but of course it is not my hobby ( prices)
But the city Spa where Francorchamps is located, is a lovely town in the Ardennes.

Of course Ferrari has to win, the cats cross their paws already !
