Welcome in Jannick.

Lucky you getting a post on the Mulsanne Straight... must be quite a sight watching the cars flying past (hopefully not literally flying of course!).

Hi

it's in fact quite a sigtht, the fastest of the LMP1 go past our post at about 315 kph, and some of them comes by pretty close, if interested you can see som pictures on my site www.tumling-foto.net

A little example of how close to the track our post is located

Hello!  :)
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Hi

Thanks for the correction, of my link  :)

That kind of picture dit i also get a lot of, every year :)
The reason to that the pugs are so clear is that the picture is taken on the formation lap before the start :)

Sorry i dont know any at Le Mans with the name Lennart :)

Ignore Tom, it's an 'in' joke.

Welcome to CA Jannick, I'm sure the joke will be explained at LM over a beer.

Hi Jannick, I'm also a marshal on the mulsanne but at post 31, which is by the tram terminus before the first chicane. We can feel the suction as they come past us at 185+ mph ,an awesome site.  I'm with a crowd of Belgian marshals from Zolder and Spa, meeting up with them at Spa for the GP every year. This year will be my 20th in a row !!
Always go into a corner too fast, in case it turns out to be a quick one!
