Principally, the WEC’s management team requires confidence that the cost of travelling across the English Channel for a race would be offset, at least in part, via gate receipts.

Which is code for "The BRDC have not agreed to pay us our 'think-of-a-number and double it' hosting fee otherwise they'd be running the event at a loss" - the cost of a channel crossing pales into insignificance compared to sea/air freighting the paddock around the globe.

Quite!

It's the legs on the toyota's to close up despite the extra pit stop for (unecessary) wet tyres that I'm watching.  On to watch how that plays out over the next 18 hours...

Currently sat in the kitchen with John Hindhaugh on the radio and French television on the laptop ... and bacon sarnies grilling ;)

For those of you who think that Le Mans is
a) expensive
b) has a s##t website
Try booking tickets for ABBA Voyage!!

Got to say that booking ABBA Voyage was a doddle compared to the ACO [it's also a fantastic show!].

Having seen the state of the roads today around Silverstone I think I need an HGV just to get through the potholes.
