Le Mans at Night
I spend a lot of my time trying to convince visitors here of just how essential it is to experience the night at Le Mans. So as I've unearthed a few of my old videos, I thought I'd post a few segments on YouTube. Please feel free to add pics, videos or even just words on what Le Mans at night is all about.
This one is from 2002. 11 years ago now. Taken from somewhere near the restaurants on the Mulsanne. You can't see much at all but I hope you'll agree you can get a certain flavour from it...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3q77...ature=youtu.be Last edited by Aysedasi; 11 May 2013 at 16:10. |

Who remembers the view from the top of what I used to call the old 'Welcome' building?

And one more for now - Arnage at night - 2010.
If you don't want to watch my shoddy camera work, just listen to the melody...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IGJJ...ature=youtu.be |

As I said, 2002 was shot hanging over a fence somewhere out on the Mulsanne so there was little to see other than the occasional headlights.....

Even just dropping back a couple of years to 2010 there just seems to be so much more variety on show.

Wow! Those are awesome! I'm jealous!
The first one reminds me of a scene from Le Mans! |

Epic stuff. These vids(of which I have countless myself) do make my mouth water again. I can't wait. Again...

I don't know (particularly as these are my own very amateurish efforts), but there is something about watching amateur footage with no commentary other than that from the circuit public address with what always seems to be enhanced sounds from the cars that brings it all to life in a way that no super-duper camera-angle, fancily edited professional film can ever hope to do!
