BSJ is the problem in that it is clay soil and they don't usually cut it until the week of the race. It's usually several feet high by then and wet through. But this week is going to be hot so let's keep cheerful!

I'm not sure about Le Mans, perhaps lowdrag will comment, but here in the Mayenne there has barely been any rain for the past two weeks. It seems to be further north, Paris/Belgium, etc.
The forecast is looking good after this weekend for higher temps and more sun.

Last weekend we had one month's rain in three hours, over 100mm, villages flooded, and it rained for 36 hours non-stop. Tomorrow, test day, storms are forecast. At my house you wouldn't know it had rained, nor at Blue or Maison Blanche because it is sandy. But the new camping (forget the name) and BSJ are solid clay. A hot week is now forecast as from Monday though, but my fear is that BSJ, which is a hay field at the moment, won't dry in time. That's all.
