By the way, Steve, what post are you marshalling at this year? (sorry if this has been asked before...)

If you look at any local maps, Chemin du Tertre is the name of the side road that forms the T-junction of our poste. The downside is that there's no spectator viewing from our area. But outside of racing, visitors are welcome to drop by us (39 officials/marshals from 8 nationalities involved on just our poste). |

Showers looking like a possibility throughout race week. At least temps are reasonable and it looks like showers rather than the deluges Le Mans can get if it is stormy.

I normally try to find the national meteorological institute of the country to check weather and I think I found the French one:

Sensible fellow!
The one thing I say about these forecasts is that they're generally not something I'd be betting much of my hard-earned cash on....... |

La chaîne météo shows far better race conditions than it did three or four days ago.
(This site works this Météo France team.) |

The weather will be fine and dry, some people have seaweed, some people use computer forcasts but we have Ayse, and if he says it will be fine and dry then so be it.

I have also bought a new pair of sunglasses.
It will definitely now rain. |

On the other hand, the weather conditions for the qualifying session of thursday might be completely unstable.
The separation line beetween the anticyclone and the northwest depression will be above the LM region for the 12/13. Météo France says the tendance will favour the anticyclone. Last edited by PascaLM; 4 Jun 2010 at 21:18. |

Come on, I'm trying really hard here amongst all this pessimism!! |

Is this what weather men do-make it up as they go, because mother nature makes it up as she goes
Really, the only guys who have to worry about the rain are Peugeot. At Spa, they sturggled in the rain when it was wet enough for intermediates, and they don't have the ALMS/LMS spec downforce areo package to help them. Also, the low profile tires mated to the 908s J dampers don't seem to work like on the much higher profile F1 tires. The Pugs, when pushed, don't seem to like bumpy tracks and definitly don't like rain. Granted, Audi may not need the rain this year to challenge Peugeot, but if it rains enough, Peugeot may be out of luck this year. But then again, the race is a week away, and who knows what's gonna happen. |

I'm not in the least bit bothered about the cars and the drivers - my concern is 100% for the spectators!
