Hell Yes! Somewhere between 50 and 100 thousand (depending on which wildly exaggerated figure you read) British fans went down to Le Mans this year but it got barely more than the briefest of mentions in the mainstream press. Admittedly it got some coverage on terrestial tv for the first time in ages, which at least goes some way in bringing the event to the public attention.

The race didn't even make the front cover of this week's Autosport mag either.
