Early morning ferry to cherbourg-octeville then 50mph drive to the campsite- tradition dictates that the 1st night (& 2nd/3rd) is spent in Arnage

Is the gent in the blue trainers of French extraction? 

Seems he has 2 beers, but both are on the ground while he uses his hands to explain something during a conversation.

Damn it, was a bit tardy this morning, turning up half way through the Jag race. Was a beautiful morning, hope you enjoyed the experience :yes:

3 Laps - 110mph down the Mulsanne - after a few stop starts on the 1st lap - traffic spread out and was much more enjoyable. AdgeC in his 250 started from the back and ended at the front. My Eleven pottered along nicely

Photos to follow once we get back on Monday night.

Would have liked to have seen that...we were parked in the  pistonhead area further down the track.

Currently sweating in the main straight stands watching the Lotus XV win it’s group.

And you never thought to invite your Chairman...? I was sitting across the track in T18 sweating. Well, I don't know why I do this job, no perks, nothing, honestly...

Yeah...forgot to tell you about them.  They’re always likely to do that.  Not always a job full of perks. Sorry. :laugh:

That's good going going, we baked in the sun on Sunday morning. Well worth it though for the "dummy" Le Mans start, and the sound when they all came through on the first lap, when they started racing!

Adge, If you zoom in on the bottom of the stand you can see us sitting in the shade
