Hardly time to rest, I had already to hit the road at down to Grenoble, where I joined my friend Sylvain for a shooting in Annemasse. (And what a shooting!)
During the photo shoot, I received a phone call telling me that I was cordially invited to attend the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the structure OnRoak racing. After a quick meal I had to fixup the MX-5 that was loosing its propeller shaft !Then straight to Marne La Vallée near Paris to pick up a Beautiful CR-V !
"We ll sleep when we'll be dead!"
Antenna battle !
Ready to eat thousand kilometers !
As a kid on Christmas Eve I join the Sarthe for the 24 Hours of Le Mans! (A first for me!) And experience could not be better lived (except in a race bucket of course!)
Jann Mardenborough (to watch closely!)
Note the little french touch !
Time to really realize the extent of madness of the cars moving on the track, and other specimens uh ... walking around the circuit, I'm already driving the CR-V towards the Paris area where I take Ammo,
for a shooting in... Metz (home sweet home)
But not for long... we had to hit the road again, Stuttgart museum, here we go !
Even in the Porsche Museum parking we find some Honda!
A Type R friendly energy drink for the road !
Then a visit at RUF, a small Teutonic builder who asks only that we got the right foot to the metal of their flagship model of 777hp and 98Mkg € 616,000 worth ... on small German departmental ... Amazing experience as a driver ! (Thank you carbon discs REALLY!)
After that madness, we return a little bit to the west towards Kempten for a tour at ABT, renowned German tuner.
A little tired of the freedom offered by Autobahns, we decided to escape in more quit countries, Switzerland! So captivated by the beauty of the roads, it was just impossible for me to take pictures.
Austrian Redbull please !
Enough tourism, it was time to make the camera smoke again! R-Performance Switzerland. A strange atmosphere emanated from this small building. The landlord did not speak a word of English, and our German was crap as hell !Wa finally manage to speak to each other in........ PORTUGESE (!?!?) No more to say let discover him in the Autoworks 36 !
Back to Metz where I left Ammo, ready to go to the last European WTCC round.
Always loved by Honda hospitality (Press Job Tiago Monteiro).
Started as a bad joke at almost midnight, the idea to attend 24 hours of Nürburgring born in our minds, and as always, Aurélie from Honda France invited us to get the Honda Civic Type R (WC) to get there! "Challenge accepted! "What a pleasure to rediscover this car! We parted a little angry at her release, but we reconciled under the duvet! Hmmm ... on the German country roads sorry!
Arrived to the Nür, a strange fauna welcomed us, nearly the same we left in the Sarthe but .... currywurst way !
On the track side, exactly the same madness as I've seen at Le Mans, the dawn rising and having another day to cover, it was already time to go back!

But it was also an opportunity to see again for the last time Honda staff! (and the meeting organized by Honda for the Type R owners)
Mehdi Bennani in the simulator.
Myself in the 2013 WTCC Honda Civic (What a low driving position !)
Many Type-R came from all over Europe.
In Belgium, Honda goodies are bottle openers !
Now back to Paris to bring back the CR-V ! :(
I Would like to thank Aurélie for everything she has done for us ! Thank you !
