Thank you. Le Mans received very little coverage in the U.S.
this year and the 9 hour time difference doesn't help.
It was great to have your report.

1996 was the 14th time I have been to Le Mans and the 10th year in
succession. The experience is fantastic and different each year - hot
and sunny this year, wet last year. I would not miss it for the
world.
The atmosphere in the camp sites (and carparks especially Garage Blue)
is a wonderfully friendly. Here's to 1997.
(I wonder if the livery of Noel Edmond's entry next year will pink
with yellow spots and the drivers will be called Blobby!)

John Brooks writes the perfect article. Informed and opinionated, he is so much
better than the reports in Autosport, Motoring News and Motor Sport (are you reading
this Mike Cotton?).They write as if they are bored with the whole thing and they
would rather have been at the Canadian GP (what a bore that was?)
I look forward to reading his insights on the world of GT racing in some "official"
journal in the future.

Great page. Have had no results for Le Mans in western Canada until

This is the story. I´m mexican and I live in Mexico. I´m not such a big fan of

AWESOME site! I'm very happy to see that I'm not the only one who is "awed" by Le Vingt-Quatre Heures du Man. I first
heard about the race when I was 13. I saw Steve McQueen's flick Le Mans. That film
had such an impact on me that it actually altered the course of my life.
I got interested in road racing which got me interested in photography,
which got me interested in Special Effects, which got me into Multi-Image
(Multi-projector slide presentations, not Multi-Media ), which eventually
got me interested in Special Effects for print (magazines, brochures etc.,).
Along the way I created a game based on the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Unfortunately it's not finished. I've been working on it, on and off,
for almost 10 years. Thanks to your web site, I have resurfaced it once
again.
I currently have 2 web sites of my own. My current artsy one is:
http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7291/
I have another which contains many endurance type racing images as well
as a little F1 but It's not ready to be unleashed to the world yet.
I really enjoyed reading about everyone's experiences. It was very helpful.
I (now 35 yrs old) have not been to Le Mans as yet. However, I married a
French woman who works for Air France and has a brother who lives just
outside of Paris so a visit to the Greatest Grand Prix of Endurance in
the World is inevitable.
Have an AWESOME day!
Mark
