Will LM 2018 be Quieter than usual?
Discussion
Ahoy Comrades,
It seems that there might be reduced interest in this year's running on LM.
There's not much chunter on this forum (or am I misremembering previous years?).
Of our group of chums who go it is the smallest group ever. (3 adults, 1 youth - has been a dozen or so in recent years)
Sales of spare tickets on eBay aren't going for massive sums.
The result of the race might be considered a foregone conclusion (although I think it might be the best race in a long while)
Am I talking nonsense as usual?

Thread Update after the Event....
We travelled down, as usual, on Tuesday so arrive to a pretty empty campsite anyway.
We went into town on the Wednesday lunchtime and it was deserted. The outside seating in the Place de la Republique had next to no one sitting there, and those there were locals who just ate and left.
Trackside Weds and Thursday seemed quieter than normal, and the campsites were looking sparse still.
Friday we went down to Chartre-sur-le-loir (another regular haunt) and that was noticeably busier than it often is, but they had an organised Gulf Racing festival in the square which must have brought in more people.
Very few siren sounds, car engine or burnout noises on Friday evening (for good or ill).
However, trackside over the weekend seemed very busy. Perhaps more locals and casual fans?
