I love Gavsweathervids. It's like the bbc, but much, much drier.

Flunch at Carrefour closed down two years back. McDonalds is closer to the circuit!

Currently thunderstorms forecast for Friday... realistically, it's impossible to accurately forecast this far out

[lowdrag]

All I can say is that we have had 24 hours of rain that was only equalled by the time when the tunnels had six feet of water about eight ago, The golf course is a lake.

As anyone who reads this thread will have noticed, the weather here is awful at the moment. The fire is alight, it's 13C, and still raining. We had a month's rain in three hours over the weekend and much flooding. But that might change for the better and we can only hope so. Indeed. it is looking like test day will be fine for a change. What worries me though is the state of some of the camping like Beauséjour, which is all clay. That must be a quagmire at the moment, and since the ACO only cut the week of the race the grass is probably about a yard high, wet through, and will be difficult to cut properly if it is still wet. Yet the golf course, which looked like a lake on Saturday evening, was completely dry and playable on Monday. You wouldn't have believed it had even rained. So Blue and Maison Blanche, as well as Houx (but not the Annexe) are fine based on the fact that they too are sandy soil.

Glad Im on the top of Tet Rouge!

Porsche Curves campsite was mildly moist for much of last year's stay, following the torrential downpour on Thursday evening - I think the reconstruction of the viewing bank used quite a lot of clay, so it stayed a bit soggy underfoot. Thankfully, the tracks are made of decent gravel, so us glampers won't get bogged down

EDIT - last weeks forecast included "abundant sunshine", but now we're heading for thunderstorms on the Friday

Looks interesting bit of a coldish start on Wednesday but Azors high building that's the baby that brings the hot ones

I see that today shows periods of rain. We have not had any. Mind you, it was very boggy in places.
