Rubbish. Without the sponsor logo it reminds me of those imitation football kits you get for a team like Manchester Reds when a game doesn't have the license. It looks a lot better media photos than real life

Meh. I think it looks great.

I'm cool that your opinion differs from mine though.

Where is buttons #11?

It should work, I just don't think it does personally. Someone make a good point that they had in the era an alternate version for countries where smoking adverts was already banned, personally I think they should have gone with that.

Any GT car livery is completely blown out the water by the Clearwater Ferrari. That's a stunner, chrome with an orange dragon, what's not to love.

At the mo: 7 laps to the next-placed car, 14 to the race leader. Been in the pit a while.

Can I report I've finally found somewhere to buy food on the circuit which is edible and not completely objectionable prices

Worst "I'm at the circuit and you're not" post ever.

It's not, it's the most shocking thing all day.

Why would anyone who is at the wonderful event be on their smart phone?

A few seconds to report on acceptable cuisine .

I'd take all my own grub if I was there,it's why my car is always full to bursting on my road trips.

It's an achievement to find half decent grub at Le Mans without paying an arm and a leg (and/or queuing for several laps!).

That #11 SMP LMP1 car has been in the pit well over an hour now...

Has Alonso had a stint yet?

[aww999]

Why, when most of the track is running normally, do they keep showing cars trundling along in the slow zone?

Nope. Conway in the #7 and Buemi in the #8, no driver changes as yet.

[Welshbeef]

Are you permitted to take in a hamper with sandwiches Bakewell tarts and lots of bagged wine?

Pork pies sausage rolls



Or go all posh with a picnic.
Given the prices I saw in Silverstone and having 3 kids (who simply cannot wait when hungry) we always have a picnic - or even take a disposable bbq and cook it there (we take a light brick so no ground damage). A lot of fun too and no missing the race.

Electrical problems.

I expect you can take in as much food as you can carry.

Are they doing bag checks here ?

I've had bags checked in both Belgium and Germany race events.

Because at 24 hour race it's not just a case of sitting the whole time watching. Likewise even though you are at a race, it's still nice to watch it on TV at the campsite
