The morning parade laps.

[lowdrag]

You really are going to have to get up arly and watch this. Hot off the press today I understand that Motoring Legends, who organise this event, have heard from the ACO that this year it will really be something special. No, you won't be seeing some rather ordinary cars like Ferraris or Porsches or suchlike, but something much more out of the ordinary. The parade this year will consist of...............

ELECTRIC CARS!!!!!

Be sure to get to the stands early to avoid disappointment. I am sure that this event will be truly gripping.

Urmmm...have they been to LeMans before?!

[Ekona]

Wow. I can barely contain my excitement.


At least they'll make the diesel cars sound good

[Oldwolf]

Will they have enough charge to do a complete lap;-)

[The Angry Gopher]

[timbo48]

It's not football, that's Andy Powell, Welsh number 8 or number 6 depending on what they decide that day . . Rugby to the uninitiated.
