Once we've done that coming back to the campsite, putting feet up and cooking dinner is a great way of marking the start of the race. Not done the driver's parade and honestly not sure I'm tempted - I've been struck that people coming back from it are generally grinning, which is a great endorsement of it - but I'm equally sure it's not for me.
I'd definitely recommend it. It's not massively my sort of thing, but once every 4/5 years it makes a nice change! To be fair last year we did it again, and I did enjoy it. That's it for a few years though!!

A good few years ago, we went for lunch in town and left before the parade... However we'd parked in the underground at the C&A... and had to drive most of the route with crowds lining it already. Now that was fun!!

Revamp on the ACO site, but the newer articles seem to have disappeared from the face of the Earth as the newest English one is from March. Even the French one seems thin in content

Sad news. His glory days predated my real engagement with sportscars but remember the level of enthusiasm that greeted early Group C days speculation of his return.

Once again we're reminded of sportscar racing's transience.

So after seeing Spa, how many LMP1 cars do you think will end up finishing inside overall top 10?

I'm gonna say four. Perhaps only three ahead of first LMP2 though.

I believe 5 of the 6 hybrids will finish inside the top 10. I suspect that Spa will prove to have been a freak race.

The fact that all the factory hybrid cars are on the cutting edge of modern development means that they have to push to the limit to be competitive so reliability suffers, certainly showing up in the first two races

A big part of me would like to see a topsy turvy Le Mans but we've seen countless times before that you can win the race with a technical issue. So you can certainly finish in the top five with a few technical issues.

I think the factory P1s will do better than we give them credit for, but if we start seeing shunts then they are going to be wishing they could unload a third car off the truck.

Awesome atmosphere at Le Mans right now it seems with our tunnel-graffiting MotoGP friends.
