I'm inevitably with Fab and SFonseca, but I can sympathise with your view. I have also deplored the worsening of the position of the ordinary spectator, especially those who wield a camera, for whom getting a half decent shot of a car without fencing in the way is becoming virtually impossible. I've also been quite critical (as most will be aware by now) of the Audi domination, and I hold out no great hopes of a marvellous race come next June, but that is ever the case. If we get a good battle every 4-5 years, that's probably as much as we can hope for.
But, as SFonseca says, it's the passion that surrounds Le Mans that is the magnet for so many, definitely including me. I couldn't bear to miss it. Being in France, all that lovely food and drink, and a motor race (of whatever calibre) to watch whilst taking in a unique atmosphere - no, missing Le Mans is not on my 2003 calendar.
I also have to say that I couldn't bear the thought of watching the whole race in just one place - no matter how much I like (or used to like) Indianapolis (and yes, the view has been ruined, I'm afraid).
