No they're not Nobby, although Harleys would be about right though knowing Irta's top speed. Our riders arrive on thursday.

Nope. No better here. But the forecast is improving from last week when it was rain, rain, rain. Very soggy at times yesterday but lots of sunny spells in between. Today looks the worst. In theory timed practice on Thursday should be dry. :)Should be on MB about 5 o'clock with the Glorious Tent- pitchers of Expo in tow.

I'll be winding up the elastic band on the Frogeye for a crack of dawn departure tomorrow. I suppose I should try and see where I left my tent and think about packing something.

Only rain on my forecast from Meteo France this morning is for tomorrow. Temps in the low 20s for the rest of the race weekend. Normally they're pretty good. Dry and pleasant at the mo' - the lawn is being mowed as I type. However, we are a short distance away so it could be different at the track.Title: Re: We're off !

The attrition rate is nicely low and the damage last night all looked repairable to me. Even the Dome was pushed down the pitlane by the mechanics so it moved at least even if not under its own steam. All the damaged cars from Wednesday popped out during the evening so it looks like 56 starters is a real possibility if nobody f*cks up during warm up on Saturday.
Temps and conditions were perfect, imho. Yum. Can't wait for tomorrow now. Going to check out St Sat and see if there's any action tonight on the campsites. It's raining a bit but still very mild.
See you all Sunday night. Have a good one - I'll be thinking of you all back there in Britain, watching it on telly.... Nope, sorry.... Probably won't, to be perfectly honest! >:D
