The Good Things:
As a Marshal - the Mulsanne Straight before the Chicanes were put in, boy was that quick.
As a speccie - The old stand above the Pits, we'd get there @ silly o'clock and position ourselves above Derek Bells Pit and wouldn't leave until our bladders forced us
The Bad
The years before Radio Le Mans, the circuit commentary was in French and once an hour there'd be a quick bit in English, which was hard to catch.
