...for Mr Webbers first appearance...in a Porsche

Fixed that for you

Granted it was 15 years ago that he last raced at Le Mans, but it still counts

Ahhhhh but has Webber actually raced?

He didn't start in 1999 on account of a clash with a flying lesson he had.

In 1998 the Mercedes only made it to lap 19....so did he actually get behind the wheel in the race?

You know what, I don't think he has ! Schneider was driving in 98 when the car retired.

So he participated in a two race weekends, but hasn't driven in the actual race

Have to pick the kids up from school, and there is no point in getting stuck on the M25. At least there won't be any traffic about then. (It was the cheapest crossing is the true reason).

Tents erected and re-waterproofed whilst drinking beer and listening to Radio Le Mans - it's like being there :-)

[TomSr3]

Have been watching some of the Highlights of the last couple of years, great to get in the mood again. Absolutely can't wait after missing it last year. (Watching the highlights of 2013 again doesn't make me feel bad I wasn't there though.)

[MP85]

I refuse to throw the 8 manner up between showers!!! I did drive back to the lakes to do it.... Fingers crossed for sunshine tomorrow!

[Roverload]

Nice garden!
