Retrospectively, it occurs to me that we are in fact both wrong, Bernard. As we are now well aware, until a certain revered member of the Ten Tenths Hall of Fame arrives in La Sarthe on the Friday of race week, the weather can, in fact, throw whatever it likes at those already present!

Very true......

But I certainly wouldn't wish inclement weather on those who are lucky enough either to get to the Test Day or to Le Mans earlier than me......

It looks a lot better than other (recent?) photos of the work on various parts of the track (and the new garages).

One thing confuses me. There is a photo of a Shell V-Power Diesel truck. I thought that Total was the fuel supplier? No doubt I missed something.

from 2006, Shell 's been the official supplier (see official posters)
can't remember before that (even if Mobil1 was a major sponsor for years)

Bernard, can I assume you'll report for us on the new Tertre Rouge view when you get back at the weekend?

Apparently it's slightly shorter (21 metres), bringing the track length down to 13.629 km. Also it has a small amount of banking on it, so times through Tertre Rouge (and consequently down the first element of Mulsanne) will be quicker. How much? Three or four tenths. (Nothing compared to 12 month's worth of development).

the work was made mainly for safety
there's now tarmac behind the line so that cars too optimistic don't go directly into the gravel trap
and there's now a real wall with much tires in front

and for the happy few photographers allowed there, a real safety area providing new pictures opportunities

Does anyone know what those little wooden kiosks are for? They're right up against the fence, so I hope they're not for drinks and frites or they'll block the view.

Do you mean the protection for the new trees or the marshals huts.

I wonder if many Canadians will travel to France and le Mans to attend the race thanks to Jacques Villeneuve's presence this year...???

JV is just a bonus for me - the decision was taken when I was given this trip for my 40th birthday last summer.

GT6 - Tree-protectors, well spotted! Though I can imagine they might have a few people hanging off them during the race.

I imagine there are a fair few Canadians there for most Le Mans. There are plenty of Le Mans visitors who travel great distances for this pilgrimage every year. Its not all French, Brits and other Europeans, for sure. I sat in the grandstand back in 03 next to the father of Chris McMurry (who was driving the Bucknum Pilbeam..... )
