https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjAHz4Q Thoughts of the weekend to follow - but for now here's a quick album of Saturday / Sunday. Travelled extra lite - so basic DSLR and kits lenses only - rather pleased with some of the images.

One of the nice things about this event is strolling through the paddock area behind the pits for some celebrity spotting.

On two aimless wanders I saw:
Kevin Estre
Laurens Vanthoor
Richard Westbrook
Alex Lynn
Fred Vasseur
Wolfgang Ulrich
Allan McNish
Benoit Treluyer
Hindy interviewing someone at Aston Martin
Malcolm Wilson
Matt Wilson
Larry Holt

Who did you spot?

Given he'd just binned an LMP2 at high speed, he was calm, polite, and very thankful to us all for looking after him. Seemed like an affable sort of chap

On the grid - managed to get pictures with JEV, Andre Lotterer and Doriane Pin

And honorable mention to running into Richard Craill on the spectator banking near the S/F line at 7:30 am on Sunday and having a short chat.

Likewise - interesting to see a question on length of safety cars ...

That subject is also the subject of a somewhat critical editorial in Motorsport News this week. I "know" there is no simple answer to safety cars - but this, for these spectators the track at least, was not the answer ...

As we established many on here did not know what a LeBron James was.

Anyone know who Dua Lipa is? https://www.instagram.com/p/Ctbi8A5s...M3MzIxNA%3D%3D

One of the biggest popstars in the world attended the race - I wonder if even the ACO were aware?

I think this world is really cruel. At least he spoke few words of French. Dont even think about a French speaking a foreign language (or writing it!!!).

The weirdest thing in this story is that many enthousiasts love the hair rising phrase "Gentlemen…… start your engines!" while the french version sounds a lot less exotic!

Fair play to him. Why do people feel the need to pile on just because someone makes and effort? FWIW I always try to order food etc. in French (doesn't go down well at my local pub though) and then find it frustrating when French people respond to my requests in English!

Someone mentioned that he is sponsored by GM and that was the connection. Personally Jackie Icks or Richard Attwood would have been more appropriate.

I think it's heavily influenced by F1 and their current trajectory.

I could list many more social accounts but here's a couple who picked it up:
https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/sta...92159996903430
https://twitter.com/SInow/status/1667544343123460096
https://twitter.com/YahooSports/stat...44077263417346

Accounts/outlets who probably don't mention Le Mans without him being there are mentioning Le Mans. Simple as that really. I think the ACO respected the event's history enough throughout the week. Wheeling Jacky out again isn't going to move the needle really.
