A good day out

[wishy]

My sentiments with Pretzel Mr.Brown abnd of course MR.Zarse!!!!

This should have been advertised on TV as well as the motoring journals......after all 80,000 of us generally got to Le Sarthe.It is a shame that we cannot support our local races in the same numbers!!!!!.

The piccy of the grandstand must have been taken after the race ......cos at least 100 people in the Pit Straight Grandstand during the race.

If it werte Le Mans then 50% of the ACO Grandstand would have been Brits on the day.

it was taken at 9.00 am, but the stand didn't fill up much

anyway we had a fabulous day made all the better by the accessibility of the teams.

so just a big thanks to all those who made one little lads day and allowed him to play with the cars and the software on the lap tops

It's a shame they didn't make much of an effort to publicise it.

Hi Steve,

Yes you have a good point.

There were a couple of full page ads in Autocar magazine in the preceding weeks, but I wouldn't have thought that the majority of thier readership gave a toss about sportscar racing. Can't comment on other more specialist motoring media though. (As for other 'specialist' publications well they're very interesting but have nothing to do with cars  )

In the end though there are a lot of Brits that go to La Sarthe not out of response to advertising but out of tradition and word of mouth. They are the sort of people who would know about the LMES events anyway. It was certainly a disappointment not to see more spectators.
