Overnight. Departed by autoroute and continue 1,400 km journey home. Total mileage between November 19th/November 27th approx 2,340 miles more than half of which was competitive. We carried all our own spares, snow chains, clothes and, oh yes, dinner suits for the special dinner. Apart from the odd plug cleaning and 2litres of fully synthetic oil plus a gearbox top up the HF pulled like a train from start to finish. No snow but there was ice. Fuel consumption, motorway cruising 28 mpg. In the mountains at flat out speeds that dropped to less than hundred miles to a tank, about nine or ten mpg.
