The Le Mans weather thread
Discussion
Well, back from a lovely stay in the UK for Shelsley Walsh hill climb weekend based around the 70th anniversary of the XK. I'll post about that in the classic section, but we were soooo lucky with the weather in the UK since an XKSS is rather wet in the rain. So, home this morning, a bit of mist, so no rain - until we got to 30 miles north of Le Mans where it started chucking it down. That as nearly two hours ago and it hasn't stopped since just like before we left last Wednesday. Rain is forecast all day with perhaps storms, but the rest of the week seems mostly dry with perhaps a shower or two. But based on what has already happened, I feel sorry for those on Beauséjour. It will be a nightmare.
ETA:- I take it all back. I've just done a tour of Beauséjour and as you go in there is a lake by the portakabins, but further in there are no cars sunk in the mud, people seem well enough and the grass has obviously been mown a few times. So, aprt from the far end on the right, which usually is bad, but I didn't go down to verify, things should be not perfect but livable.

Le Mans centre today has been a real mix of torrential downpours and quite warm sunshine. Hopefully the camp sites will dry out a bit between now and Wednesday when we head for our pitch. The flat in town is however quite dry apart from the drops of water from the air con. !! The forecast from now seems quite good.

A bit of Googling tells me that P6 and P6 bis are car parks for media types. The other side of the Bugatti circuit from Houx.
P6 is right next to the crossroads below the paddock. P6 (2) - which is bis in French - is further up towards the medical centre alongside the Bugatti circuit. I've been parking there for years until this year. Wonder what that is going to look like in a few days time? It rained again heavily this morning, but they say the worst is now behind us. Just the risk of a shower or two on Sunday, but that may well disappear.Edited by VladD on Tuesday 12th June 13:19

It's not looking too shabby, providing the campsites can dry out in time after the recent deluges..
All hail the cat..
