It's almost like Le Mans never happened.
« on: June 17, 2007, 08:07:16 pm »
Never mind the fantastic result for Shorty et al and the British Rollcentre team, the LMP1 win for Aston Martin, or the 250,000 + spectators, 90,000+ of whom are british, there's almost nothing about LM 07 on the TV teletext or 'mainstream' news websites. ???

Still, keeping it a bit of a secret makes it all the more special for those in the know.

I thought the pug was going to flake out towards the end, next year (If this year's anything to go by) should be rather good too.

M. Bourdais and M. Narac, that Pug and the great Henri P all over the tv and papers here!  This lot appreciate their heros, that's for sure.  I guess Lewis killed the thing in the UK?

..... the LMP1 win for Aston Martin .....

Urm .... have I missed something here, could have sworn that was Audi ....? Agree with Termietermite, lots of coverage in France. After the torrential rain of the weekend we took the opportunity to turn right instead of left coming out the circuoit and headed down to Bordeaux for the week chasing some sun ..... beautiful today, such a change from the weekend.

It made it to most of the newspapers here, including pictures of Jan Lammers, since he competed for the 20-th time. Even showing a huge picture of DFH carrying mister Le Mans on our shoulders in the sports section.
I have given up on being on facebook and myspace, I kept mixing them up and invited people to come on Myface!

GT1, I meant GT1.

My mistake, but I was in a 'riled' state of mind.

And we(DFH) were on Dutch radio. The reporter staying with us thought it was a good idea to interview Paddy, Riert, Petra, Micha and me after getting back from the Champagne bar around 4:00. As a retaliation for giving him Tropicoma the day before.  :angel:
