Folks

If anyone has any particularly good photos of the Marcos cars in the drivers parade (if you hadn't burnt all your film on the preceeding TVRs!), or even better, video footage, could you contact me pls, as one of the drivers is trying to sort out a 'proper' video of the event.

TIA

Hi,

Think my 'co-pilot' in the parade will have some footage of you all as he video'd the event (I was in the Tuscan S)...will await the footage and let you know.

Indeed - we got bored and left after about 1 hour and a half. It was a tad on the slow side... Rich...

Took this two:





My hotel was near Chateau-du-loir and I saw a lot of them in that area.

Edited because I just read the first post and you were asking for some "particularly good photos". The answer is no, then.

Hi! I'm a french new member from France, Le mans more precisely. And, all right, I go to the 24 Hours since I'm about 8 years old and I love it!

So, during the "parade des pilotes" I was just at the begining of the show, on the red carpet, where I have shooted a lots of car, drivers and also, the unforgetable Hawaïn Tropic girls....

But this topic is about Marcos so....

When you say left do you mean you left the town completly?

The parade isnt the reason for going into town IMO. Stay in the square for some beers on Friday night and enjoy the real entertainment!

BTW: I got a nice pic of the Marcos line up next to me at Indy on Friday morning. I'll scan it in for y'all.

Noooooooooooooooo! Some great photos of the Marcos cars, but PLEASE tell me you got one of the green Marcos Mantis on the podium?

Is it OK if I swipe copies of your pictures from this thread to include in the Marcos Forum please Bohemian - you had a great position to take them from.
