046 at Dijon today

Hello,

I heard a F1 was seen at Grand Prix de l'Age d'Or at Dijon today.

Three best candidates are probably #020, #046 or #069 and perhaps 12R.

Hopefully someone snapped some pics in case I am wrong.

Yes, I thought about #05R or #046 and it is the road car

He will make 100000 miles on it !

Edit for Erik : Can you change in title "F1" for "#046" please

[Peloton25]

Forgot about #05R - definitely another good possibilty.

Happy to see #046 getting all this use - I just wouldn't want to pay his service charges.

That's pre-supposing the car is actually being driven from A-B. Nothing to say it's not ferried about in a covered trailer and 'dropped off' near the locations it appears at ... it always seems quite 'shiny'.

Not so sure on that - this image was borrowed from the '#046 at Spa' thread. Click to enlarge:



Seems a good candidate to replace the 911 Turbo in this old Porsche advertisement:

I'll yield - as always - to your expertise on all things F1, Erik.

However, I will say - having dismounted from the back of a maniac friend's turbocharged hyperbike after a cross country sprint at speeds approaching 200 mph - it doesn't take too long to get coated in fly road kill or turn your jeans a browner shade than nature intended at those sort of speeds!

Mr Joy is certainly racking up the miles

At Goodwood he commented to one photographer that he'd done 3,000 miles in the past 3 weeks.

Several F1s haven't done 3,000 miles in their lifetime.

Sounds like 046 is his daily driver. In the U.S., he'd be knee-deep in a Show & Display violation, so it's great he's able to do all that driving. Makes me smile to hear he is really using the car as it was intended!
