One more picture! Just received an e-mail from the printshop with the design for my t-shirts for confirmation before actually printing. Needless to say, I was pretty happy with his work. This will be the backside. (And yes, I know the chicanes will have some different names, but these will work fine for me)

Someone, somewhere thought this would be a great idea. A women-only pavilion at Le Mans.

https://www.autoclub.fr/en/news/le-m...477_20251.html

What a backwards way of championing women at Le Mans. Segregate them and display their achievements to only themselves. Whilst giving them a pampering.

Exactly right. At first I thought it was to celebrate the role of women at Le Mans, but it finally sunk in that it is for women only. Maybe Vince should go to demonstrate the link between Le Mans and T Shirts :-)

We are back with gridgirls and discrimination than are we
It is a big sponsored pavilion by Pandora, Indeed a women only jewelery.

the problem is in the way they've pitched it, i think.

the sponsor is fantastic - a female orientated sponsor at le mans? brilliant! but why do we need a lady creche? i don't want to read the feminine press, i want to read autosport and auto hebdo and have a clean ladies only shower area...

It's just misguided I think. There are definitely steps the ACO could take to improve facilities and the general experience for women - like you say bella - without the need for a patronising gimmick.

"The aim of the Women’s Pavillion is to play down the glamour aspect of the Le Mans 24 Hours."

Yet they are creating a beauty area and serving cocktails? It sounds like something set up to appease Steve McQueen's girlfriend in the 70s.
