So it's a gloomy Saturday afternoon in April, and it seems like it's been raining constantly for weeks (probably because it has ...)
What's everyone predicting for the weather at Circuit de la Sarthe come mid June?

At the mo it's Noahs's ark weather, absolutly peeing it down, non stop. The garden is flooded. This might be a good thing, and then it drys out for the event. I hope so. Race on today at the circuit today & tomorrow, but forget it with this weather.

I put the tent up in the garden around 1-2 weeks before just to check that all is well, the cat always gets in for a nose. If it goes in via the front then it will be a scorcher if via the back then it will be wet. Bit like ground hog day!!!

I will keep you posted.

We're due a proper scorcher, the weather hasn't been 'stunning' for a few years.

I concur - last mega nice one was the first year I went (2005), if anything that was almost too hot!

Yeah - that was my first year too. I think I got conditioned to thinking it would always be like that. hehe And crikey, yeah it was too hot.

2005 AND 2006 were both scorchers, 05 was our first year there also. Weather at Le Mans seems to mirror the weather in the South East (UK) every year when I phone home it's the same there as it is here. Not scientific I know, but it's a pretty good indicator.

That was still a good weekend. It was mild even in the rain. We walked bare-foot through Beausejour rather than ruin our shoes and it wasn't cold. Grandstand seat was soooooooooo worthwhile.

Some good news!

Not showing the saturday and sunday yet, but the temperatures are on the up, and the clouds are on the down, so my guess is the weekend will be excellent!

I would settle for this for both the 24 and the Classic.
