The car we are getting to le mans has yet unproven air con abilities...no doubt air con will not work after recharge which sods law surely points to being odds on for a hot one.
For the first time, I'm going in a vehicle that has aircon. And a proper roof that doesn't leak. And a heater that actually demists the windows.

I've looked as 3 forecasts. One says rain, one says sun, and the other says somewhere in between. laugh
It's guaranteed they will all be right at some point over the weekend.

I pity you, I will rely on God's own Aircon smile
And I carry a towel in case there is a leak!

At the end of the day, who cares, as long as you're happy and have a fridge full of beer
Mind you 4 blokes that close was politically incorrect many years ago

How did that work out for you in 2017? I for one was rather hot!

Yeah, been hot a few years, and wet a few years but driving there and back roof down is the challenge. I've done 13 years In MX5 NA but last year was the first year with a TVR Chimaera, you have to pack the roof in the boot with everything else so at that point you're committed smile

Wouldn't have it any other way!

As others have said, you can have 3 seasons in one day whilst watching the 24hrs.....it’s part of the fun In some ways but makes planning for the event more challenging. As long as it’s reasonably warm I’m happy as we’re camping hehe In 2 weeks’ time the weather forecast will be purely academic yes

Weather forecast for race week has just changed. Up to now it was scorchio from Tuesday right through to the end of the race, but now showers from Thursday to the end of the race. Still 25C though so warm showers.

How bloody boring! Water enters everywhere, the only aircon I have is to drive faster, fuel consumption 15 mpg and £175 a fill-up, no boot, only a luggage rack, and no usable roof. The perfect way to travel to Le Mans.

Not on Sunday I haven't! 200 mile rally all day, and the weather seems iffy to say the least, changing every two hours. It's 24C and sunny, but storms were predicted a few hours ago. But we'll only know next week. Anyone remember the intense storm that settled over the circuit in, I think, 2008? Even the tunnels were completely flooded. Yet here, six miles as the crow flies, we had a little shower.
