Well, my take on the event so far...
I've not been to the real Le Mans, but some of the other chaps have, yes it's a lot quieter, but we have a great spot roped off in the woods near the porsche curves, room for 3 cars, tents and an entertaining space, with no one crowding into us.
We've met a lot of really friendly people, and seen so many cars, everyone just seems a lot more chilled out than the regular 24 - we are sort of treating it more like a car show than a race event, we got here Thursday afternoon and only made it to the grandstands this evening!
As for rain, well... We are spoilt with wall to wall sunshine! Showers are clean and not crowded where we are so it's all good, the down side... I really wish I brought my car! But a 760bhp Audi isn't too shabby!
