I would certainly think that the British were down on last year, camping tickets on ebay not selling as the race approached and I think the reasons were a combination of last years weather and the choice this year of going to the classic 24 hour. However I also noticed that at 4.30 on Sunday morning the circuit was no were near as empty as previous years and at the start of the race the area just after the dunlop was very full. I think that the french were there in greater numbers than usual so 260,000 seems about right to me.
