Julian heads the meeting in the Hotel at Sotogrande (before the serious drinking started)
Having had to attend to a minor bit of maintenance upon my arrival at the hotel, I had little time to take photos in daylight. The following were taken in the dead of night as some Teams got an early night and others continued to party in the ‘Club’ down the road. These are mostly pretty poor photos but I have included them because this is the ony time I got to see some of these cars.
