 At Oschersleben 2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The view of some 15 Lamborghini Diablo one standing next to the other is indeed impressive but surprisingly I couldn't find the name Larrousse on any of the cars but I didn't worry too much about that as there were some cars with no name at all on them.
When dropping into the Lamborghini area again I asked one of the officials which one Gérard Larrousse's car was and he told me that Monsieur Larrousse would not take part in this round of the series and probably re-enter it at Enna-Pergusa.
One could see lots of drivers, I even managed to force some of them (Babini, Hallyday, Larini) to sign my race program, the spectators were (just the opposite to F1 races) fair and not completely drunk, the officials friendly, all in all a nice weekend although completely successless from the 'Pironi-historical' point of view.
