Today’s story by Des
All participants left this morning with a police escort out of Rotterdam! Most cars are in Geneva now (20u00 CET). Our GTspirit car arrived in 6th place although there was a lot of police on the famous motorway ‘route du soleil’ through France, but it didn’t gave any problems. Only bad thing was the rain, which made it hard to drive.
Most of the drivers are at the local Aston Martin dealer now. There they get a better view on the spirit of Aston Martin. Later tonight they will have dinner and a small party. And last but not least, prepare themself for tomorrow, to drive to Turin.
The updates during the day can be seen here or at the Tangospeed sms blog.
