What Are You Looking Out For At LM 2013?
There are a few things I will be keeping an eye on, some big and obvious, others more personal.

GTE Pro: Europe vs USA. I really hope the Vipers and Manthey 911s can hack it against the established cars. This battle looks great on paper, let's hope it works out that way.

LMP2: HPDs in the dark. There was lots of flaming overrun at Sebring, and I do like a flaming exhaust. Arnage should do it.

GTE Am: Patrick Dempsey. My better half is a Grey's Anatomy obsessive, so a Friday pit walk photo would go down well.

The ex-F1 new boys, Senna and Kobayashi. Will they get the LM bug?

The sound of the first racing car I hear, whatever it is. Always a special moment.

Showing my brother around, on his first visit.

How about you?

On tuesday evening there's an autograph session in the pits. A lot less people than on friday, and a pic and an autograph will earn you a lot of brownie points I reckon!

Sounds like a plan. I might have to look out for a thirsty Dutch person too. I believe they are widely available at La Sarthe.

Ok then. Remind me a week or so before and I'll get you the autograph. I will be there in the pits any way for the cars as it is much quieter than on friday. I am not interested in the autographs myself but can take care of this for you and your brownie points.

The race and Ten-Tenths friends .

In the race it's Audi vs. Toyota for me, and then cheering on all Danes. (Hoping for a Dane on top of all the podiums! Tom K, Heinemeier-Hanson, Magnussen and the AMR GTE-AM Danish)

Rouen was once quite a large port so i am sure you will find something appropriate there but you might miss the race

Ayse by my reckoning since I've been going we've had 18 dry racedays (inc 2 pretty cold ones) and 6 wet ones most in the 2000's so they way its looking we are following the pattern we got in the 90's which was just 2 wet years in that decade. So its going to be dry.........

Also, I want my first Le Mans experience to be a dry one (meteorologically speaking), so I WILL join the blame game if it rains.

Number7 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
2013 will be my tenth Le Mans. I have been there in 2001, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. I have never had a really hot one. 2006 must be the closest, and as far as I remember 2009 was pretty ok as well. So, in 2013 it must be time for unlimited sunshine and a lot of heat!
