Lower number of British fans at 2017 24h of Le Mans?

Look above. Seems I shall have to reload thousands of photos from my hard disk to Flickr. Damned if I am paying for the service. In fact, Flickr seems better than Photobucket since they have had technical problems for over a year now, plus 1TB free space. It'll just be a pain to reload 14 years worth of racing photography.

Those photos came through thank you.
Jim looks like he's enjoying himself, when he rang me he certainly was.
I know he was loving the accommodation! Looking forward to catching up with him on Monday to hear all about it.
Think I'll send him a copy of your pic of the tents, tell him my drone took them and see how long i can do his head in for :-).
Must meet Tony, the man to know now that i have my XKR apparently. Cheers

Sent Jim a picture of the tents. Met him last night and he didn't have a clue, didn't even realise they were his tents! Le Mans was wasted on him, said he slept most of the weekend. Said someone woke him up to tell him they were at the end of the race, and all he thought was "why did you need to wake me up!". He did enjoy staying at yours though.

Was on Houx Annexe, plenty brits on site fair few empty pitches though , was lively especially friday night with plenty fireworks and music but not overpowering and didn't go on all night.
Have not ventured out of the campsite on a Friday night for years, I'm glad the authorities are finally clamping down on mad Friday as it was getting out of hand.

It was very mellow I thought as I was on the same site!

Mad friday was clamped down as they closed the road you had to use your pass to get in. Didnt stop 1 person jumping on a car as they wouldnt do anything and as they felt scared floored it and ran someone over. Think the guy who got ran over was camping next to me as saturday he arrived braced up to hell

Apparently the police did make a special place for people to "entertain" but I am unsure where this was.

It did see very sudate this year
