I seriously have no clue how I manage the time between races each year. And this year I've been as interested in the run-up as ever.

The Dutch Food and Consumergoods Authority has done a test with the "spraycan" cannister-operated campingstoves.
According to them, they are a deathtrap!
When you use a too big pan/pot (which is listed in the manual as something you shouldn't do!) heat cannot escape, and the gascanister will reach temperatures of over 70 °C with the following result:

Did find the official ACO app launched today. It is informative BUT it would be nice if they added the entry list, scruteneering list, etc. They do promiss nice features. http://www.24h-lemans.com/en/news/th...746_15434.html

Not something I've been talking about between last year's race and this year's race, more something I've been doing to pass the time. Since November, I've been changing my avatar at the start of every month to a winning car from each decade in chronological order. It's helped with the countdown.



















Just the last change to make in 20 minute's time...then it's okay to be excited.

You talking about the flexible bodywork on the rear? I can assure you, it left the factory in Turin with that plastic body panel...

gents:

no idea where to ask this, so this'll do. up until last year i had no dealings with the esteemed constables of the local cop shop, but in 12 months i've been nabbed twice...

i have here a notification from my hire car company dated 15th of may saying i did something naughty on the 2nd april and les flics want to shake me firmly by the wallet. it's now 2nd june, 2 clear months after the alleged offense (which i did do, i was half asleep at the time but i definitely did it).

do they have to get in touch with the registered driver of the car within a certain amount of time?

Unfortunately there is no date for contacting the driver, i got flashed by a camera on the way back from silverstone and waited 3 weeks before breathing again ai think they must contact the owner of the car. You will have to do either the driver course or take the points i am afraid.

I'm not sure that they have to serve it within a particular time, but if they prosecuted you for the speeding offence, the information (or more likely now a written requisition) would need to be laid (or issued) within 6 months of the offence. The notice would presumably have been sent to the hire company as the registered keeper. They have to respond by identifying the driver to the police - hence the notice to you. They should then reply to the police and you should get a similar notice from the police asking for information to identify the driver. Responding to the 's.172' notice is important as failing to do so is in itself an offence - more serious and carrying a heavier penalty in fine and penalty points than the simple speeding.....

You must drive a little slower bella......

the irony is that generally i can't afford to do anything over 110kmh anyway, except this one time at 5.30am when i needed to hustle a bit to get to the airport (and last night, to catch the 2200 ferry. but that was in a british car...)

i'll google and see if i can find out how much i'm going to get stung for. strangely i have zero points on my uk licence and haven't been done in more than a decade. this makes 6 on my shadow french one...

thanks for the info. i'm still kind of hoping they see a british address and give up, but getting my wallet out just in case

Think yesterday was a bit of mini channel dash for the French police. I'm pretty sure we got flashed just outside Calais (but again, UK reg car) and purely by good observation managed to spot a patrol car SW of Boulogne in time to back off to something sensible, but it was not a leisurely transit, and while we didn't see vast numbers of other Brits liberally using afterburner, anecdote floating around the web suggests there may have been quite a few of us.
