Absolutely nothing to do with motor racing or Le Mans, but in the midst of preparation, travelling, or if you are at the hallowed place on 8 Jun, then the transit of Venus across the face of the Sun will happen for the first time in 122 years - the whole period of the transit will be visible from Europe. Just a little something to add to the entertainment - take your dark glasses......... http://www.space.com/spacewatch/venus_transit_040206.html |

This should give those already at LM something to focus on after all those low-flyers.

We are always moon struck for the full 10 days that we are there, last year one of our crew was convinced that he saw the light, the sad thing was that he tried to climb it and fell flat on his ass when one of the other crew switched of his skyward pointing torch.
Good stuff that red wine.
