I think the reason things go so quiet between races at Le Mans comes from a couple of factors. One is that Le Mans fans are also ably served by the Club Arnage and Beermountain websites as well as here so Le Mans fans have more places to go for their fix of chat and information, swapping travel plans and hints and tips and so on. Another is that, being an annual one-off event, once it's over for another year people tend to drift away to deal with that pestiferous nuisance known as 'real life', so have less time and energy to devote to Le Mans until things start boiling up again. I've noticed that, around this time of year, even postcounts at BM and CA tend to slow quite a bit until each November/December, when it's about 6 months until the great race and then things gradually pick up again until the race in June, what with people posting their travel plans, ideas for stuff to do, meetups at the track and so on.
