Ditto Abs,
For us, this is when we really start to realise hte week's about to commence.
Should also be a feature in Autocar either this week or next, last year written by Tiff Needell, gave us newbies a lot of info last year about what to do/see.
12 days to go!

I got my copy at the motorway services this morning. If it's a good read you're after, I think you might be a bit disappointed. |

I reckon its around 20 pages of adverts, an index and the rest is features. Of the features, approximately 50% is taken up with very average photos; 1 of an empty grandstand, 1 of some headlights at night (could be the A404 near my house) and 1 of 8 blokes walking down a road. The remainder varies from mildly interesting to pretty boring.
Tosh, I'd say.

Right, as usual H.
Hunting down a copy of Autosport is too much like hard work here - but if I was in UK, I would have bought the Le Mans Supp issue - it is regurgitated crap, but it's also traditional and get's one in the mood, so to speak. That said, I think the banter here, now that we are running up to the race weekend is much more inspirational.

On the subject of Autosport, if anyone has a few minutes go to Autosport Online and check out last weeks Ask Nigel. His first question was who he thought was the most over-rated GP driver of all time. Made me chuckle because of the scolding I got for my bashing of Eddie Irvine on this forum a few month's ago. Whats really bizarre is that I can't f**k*ng stand Nigel Roebuck but he and I see eye to eye on this one.

Yes I was thinking how disappointing the supplement was. The map of where to view from is awful, in fact as there is no key it seems to infer you can watch from the Mulsanne straight etc.

Maybe they're more informed than we think then - perhaps they read this forum for a little more insight into the real Le Mans, after all those in the know here know very well that you can view from the Mulsanne if you really want to. |
