Monaco, 14 August, 2000

The "Grand Prix at Mosport" was over and who thought I would be back on my way to meet my family was not right. After 3 weeks in North America, testing and racing was on the schedule, some of us took also the opportunity to see the great country, now one PR day in Detroit and we were on our way home.

Every day for a couple of hours exercising in the gym and jogging to keep me fit for the races, most of  the remaining time I spent with the boys biking and with all kind of sports activities.

On Sunday I will be on my way to Texas where first tests take place Thursday August 31 at the Texas Motor Speedway.
