The Safrane.Info Forum!

I,am SURE i,am not imagining this but if i remember correctly i have seen footage of Damon hill thrashing his Renault Safrane around a race track circa 1996,i think the car was blue does anyone else remember this or can find any footage?
My work friend remembers it aswell,think it was onboard but i can,t find any trace of it?

he had a blue laguna as his daily.

He scared Clive Owen in it on an airport run on tv with police escort.

Just found this,think i,ve also read he got done for 80MPH in a Safrane in 1998!

One of two types of practicing lawyers in Britain (the other is the solicitor). Barristers engage in advocacy (trial work), and only they may argue cases before a high court.
