Not started reading it yet but it will be interesting to see if they have worked on eradicating all the frustrating little errors. The fact that in the hourly race positions page the AF Corse 458 is highlighted as GTE-Pro winner doesn't exactly reassure me.
I will tell you if it's a Teissedre's error or a translation problem. I am waiting for the book too, one of the most important post-24H event.

I've had a chance to look a bit further into it. The errors in all the recent annuals don't tend to stem from translations. They are simply annoying things like spelling driver names wrong.

If you look through the entry pages (which is one of my favourite parts) it is possible to find small errors/inconsistencies in near enough every driver.

An example is Sebastien Bourdais.
In 1999 he is listed as driving a Porsche 8911.
In 2000 a Courage C52-Peugeit
Someone has then copied and pasted that for the next two years without spotting the typo.
2001 he drove alongside Emmanuel Ciollard

That's just a very small example but it is riddled all the way through the British versions - for 10+ years!
Don't get me wrong I LOVE the books and will always buy them but to not even proof-read the book through is just inexcusable. How have they not been called out on that!?

Reading up a bit on time spent in the pits from the 2011 race... and this race was damn well won through pitstops, but the closeness of the whole thing beggars belief. The #2 Audi won by those 13.854 seconds, but if the #9 Peugeot had spent the exact same amount of time in the pits... #2 spent 33m56s in the pits, #9 34m18s, #9 would have won with a gap of just about 8 seconds.

This race really was a case of "whoever blinks first loses". Bloody hell.

Leftfield one for you - looks like I've got about an hour to kill at Le Mans station tomorrow.

Anyone got any suggestions for a decent coffee shop or similar in the area of the station that'll be a bit more salubrious than the standard station coffee shop?

Why not pay a visit to the Le Mans Legend Cafe?

Cheers James - suspect Legends cafe might well be a starter - will let you know.

Astonishingly cold here in La Sarthe - colleague told me his BMW got a bit exciting on some of the country roads round here, so suspect I'll give the circuit a miss this time - leaving aside the whole car theft issue!

They serve slightly overpriced standard fare, decent enough, but the bonus is some interesting memorabilia for you to peruse.

Just looked - would appear that they won't quite be open when I pass through Le Mans tomorrow morning (arrive from Sable-sur-Sarthe at 1009 and then head for Paris about 1130 - so missing Legends cafe by 15 minutes.

Something to save for next time I guess...

Well, there's a bar/brasserie next to the Galaxie Hotel opposite the station (on the corner of the junction with Avenue du General Leclerc). My memory's poor, but I'm pretty sure that's the one I've seen Hugh Chamberlain in a few times over the years.
