As on the other years, there was a lot of nice Nortons (and not only) on the track and beside.
     As on the other years, we had much fun, good wine, chatted a lot with friends from everywhere.
     But on this particular 2003 year, it was also...

     Or rather to a circuit among the most prestigious of the world, one of the last to have kept its banking, a truly amazing architecture, a story full of glorious events and few are the makes that never raced on it. One could dream of it becoming the french heritage center, though it belongs also to the many Englishmen, Italians, Germans and else that came here to fight against speed -on 2 , 3 or 4 wheels - and who sometimes met their death.
     Next year it will be at Dijon. But I won't go.

     On the official poster, a Norton, and one could have thought of a special treatment to the Norton owners, but business is business and to put your wheels on the track you needed a german bike.

     Nevertheless, Sammy Miller let us appreciate the Silver Fish, for the fiftieth anniversary of its achievments on this track. (Ray Amm, november 1953, 133,71 mph - 215,14 km/h-).
Thank you Sammy! (again)
