I was there...
Wandering around asking everyone "Do you know JP Chenet" and getting some strange looks before finding the man himself to collect my very stylish CA polo shirt..
Thanks JP

Every year I end up getting lost and seeing ever more dismal and dodgy looking parts of Rouen on the run down.
This year I said the same thing to my co-dricer as I always do when approaching the tunnel "Get ready for the grand tour"...
5 minutes later we were driving past the marshalling yards and up to the 'cow' roundabout...
Did I fall into a time vortex or something??

The Times report after last years race went something like

KRISTENSEN SETS RECORD
Tom Kristensen won his seventh Le mas 24 Hour race in France on June 16th.

Or another man with his back to 'Mr 2012'

This wouldn't work at Le Mans but...

1.Open Bottle
2.Hold in fromt of wife's face
3.Ask wife is she minds you sleeping with her sister
4. Freeze bottle in the icy cold stare that she gives you

There's a great story in the book about how, during filming one of the cars came round Indy to find a 'dead body' on the road.
When the driver stopped and got back to the body it turned out to be McQueen, with a stills camera looking for some action shots...

I bought the book a couple of weeks after it came out...
Total agreement that it's fantastic.

A possibility as to why there are not may spectators around Indy and Arnage is because, apart from the 'in race' footage the rest of the filming was done after the race, the Solar team came back in 'I think' September of that year.
