I watched Road to Le Mans on Motors TV tonight, the featured race was 2003. Mark Blundell mentioned the rain on Friday night and that he was happy that it had cleared up because he had never driven the Bentley in wet conditions.
The thing is, I don't recall any rain on Friday night, or any rain at all for that matter.
Anyone remember rain?
Or, did I get so drunk I that I didn't know it did?
Bob - I just watched the Motors TV film. Blundell doesn't mention any rain on Friday night. He's interviewed just after the drivers' photo has been taken, and it's starting to rain. That was on the Saturday round about lunch time and you can see that it's raining slightly in the film.
The befuddled brain cells do remember a little r**n around lunchtime on Saturday, I was in the front row of the stands opposite the Bentley garage, had to put on a waterproof as the r**n was blowing in a bit.
It wasn't proper LM r**n though, not like Wednesday night last year.
Sorry for the stars, I do not post the 'r' word in the three weeks before LM, it's just a superstition on my part.
Keep those vibes sunny.
