Somewhere I read about the official 2017 LM movie will be shown on a outside big screen during next week. However I can't find it anymore. Anyone know where and when?

That one is news to me. I would have thought it would be advertised on lemans.org somewhere?

I'm risking things: cancelled my rental car and went back to train tickets. According to the SNCF ticketing website they know what trains should be running all the way up to 16 June, so at least for the outbound I should be ok.

For something to do while waiting, stumbled upon SPEED's (r.i.p) coverage of the 2007 race, just uploaded yesterday by someone. The good old days of insane P1s and GT1s

Even on the strike days, trains from Le Mans to Paris are running at least every two hours (if not every hour), so I'm chancing it too that my train to Paris on Sunday night will be on. Or, if it's not, I'll be able to somehow get on another train. Definitely! Maybe a half-hour snooze on the banking at Arnage like last year, especially if there's a safety car. |

Can anyone confirm if this week's Autosport is the one with the Le Mans Guide supplement?

I have visited WHSmiths and can confirm there is a Le Mans Guide in the Autosport, but it is party of the main magazine rather than being a separate booklet.

oil refineries blockade in France ?
The main trade union of agriculture (FNSEA) said they will block several oil refineries as from the 10th of this month. Reason : massive importation of palm oil for biofuel... I wait for further information and confirmation.

That's normal, not that I have bought it for a long time as it got thinner and head less in it. The current Motor Sport is very good, good Le Mans articles.

Having now flicked through the Autosport over lunch, the guide is better than some previous years, some good articles. The LM section also has a thicker cover and additional stapling so might be separate-able from the rest of the mag.

I didn't have time to get it today, I'll have to try and get it tomorrow (as it's one of two issues I buy each year).

Don't think I'll be going to Neuville-sur-Sarthe to watch it. Might do the car show though, while avoiding the stampede that will be the autograph session.

Now that we had the test day, is there going to be a dedicated race week thread floating about or is that already covered in an existing thread?

We'll definitely have one. I'll leave one of the usual suspects to start it...…
