Your photos prove time and time again that the weather in Le Mans mirrors the weather in the UK. Forget the forecast on the telly and on the internet, talk to someone who lives there for an accurate weather report. We have been going every year since 2005 and the weather has always been exactly the same here as it has been there without fail. It would be helpful if you can keep us up-to-date say, ten days before the race with a daily weather report. I bet it will be the same here.2005 hot there hot here. 2007 rainy but mild there same here, last year reasonable, little bit rainy bit sunny overall not bad, same here etc etc.

Great pictures, they look like they are all on the Mulsanne Straight ? Not 100% sure of the 1st picture though, is that the chicane ( looks too bendy ahead)or is it the bit coming from Tet Rouge onto the Mulsanne ?

Great pictures smile (I think the first picture is after exiting Tetre Rouge - the stadium is visible on the right).

Those don't show the temperature! This morning here it was -17C and as I type is still -7C. hope it improves for June.....

Oh, and next to the Audi dealership (after Tertre Rouge on the left) they have now built a new toy shop so you can all stock up with your shiny new supersoakers.

Hi Lowdrag,
Do you live in LeMans itself then?
