Well Eurosport uk cocked up the first 30 mins with some cycling. FFS! Then someone called 'Nock' totally cocked up his first interview. Hope this isn't a sign of what's to come!

Still at work and will be for some time. Listening to RLM though and hope to make it home for qualifying.

Bad start for Toyota. One engine down already. Now fitting their race engine. RLM reporters said the engine was totalled- bits sticking out the side of the block. Doesn't bode well.

Checking in.

Today has been awful. Whilst I'm still here because I'm about to experience one of lifes miracles - I appear to be unable to get my mind away from a field in France.  I'll be fine by the time the race starts and/or the baby comes, but it's the excitement and anticipation of going that is the most special to me, so the last 24/48 hours have been killer!  

Don't tell my wife though - like everything else to do with Le-Mans, she, and everyone else, has no idea why I feel the way I do about the whole event!

I feel your pain Brad. Let's just hope the baby isn't born in race week or that's you stuffed for the next decade at least.

Bit of a damp squib last night. I don't know if Toyota were sand bagging or that engine failure spooked them  ut they failed to match the pace that they showed in the test. With the possibility of rain out there tonight I thought they would have put in a banker lap to at least have a shout at pole.

Also a bad night for Pesca. It looks like the 03 has a damaged floor and they don't have a spare. If anyone can fix it it's Henri's boys, but that car is really suffering from a lack of running time.

Feel sorry for the Delta Wing lads. The onboard extinguisher went of on the Mulsanne. I once had someone press the extinguisher button on a rally car we had in at work. It took three days to clean it all up. That stuff makes a big mess.

Fingers crossed for dry weather tonight. Oh and more cameras on Eurosport please!

Well, I caught the last 30 mins of eurosport last night once I had rolled in from the office. looking like a excellent battle in LMP2.

Brad, one of my lot has had to delay his trip out until this morning, as it was his second daughters birthday yesterday. He was told "so you are going to go and enjoy yourself and miss your daughters birthday" he is forever cursed........looks like he will be pitching up on Friday next year ::) and missing for the following 2 years. ::) ::) ::)

The camera thing is a test problem.  They won't leave the unmanned kit out in the country for people to nick/destroy on mad Friday so past form suggests that you won't get any better camera positions until race day.  Sorry chaps.  Just goes to emphasise the fact that you need to get your *rses down here next year.

B*mmer re the Delta Wing.  Digits crossed.  All in all it's been great and has proved it was worth the effort.  So far.  Makes the AMR1 seem an even bigger joke by comparison than it looked to be when it "ran".

Well not forever.  By the time I was 5 my Dad was taking me racing with him.  You just have to bring them up properly!

Good luck, Brad.  Hope events timetable themselves in a suitable fashion.
