shopping for the Beers and associated snacks tomorrow, hopefully raining all w/e so i can lounge about.
on the plus side with not going to the 24, countdown for departure towards the Classic is getting less & less, less than 90 hrs

[gatordad]

I think the solution to all this baby deal around the second week in June can be cured by not having a go at the missus in September.  Just sayin'

On a more serious note, I hope the Delta does well this weekend.

[Bonio]

Thought that i should have a trial run last night whilst watching qualifying. Do not feel very well this morning.

[Lord Steve]

Thought I'd do the same watching Eurosport. Woke up still drunk and dribbling on the sofa at 2am. Pathetic trial run - must do better.

[Lazy B'stard]

Also had a good trial run last night. Radio Le Mans through IPhone plugged into speakers, Eurosport on TV with sound down, two lap tops, one with timing screen (although ACO timing wasn't working), second lap top flicking between Andy Blackmores Spotters Guide and Dailysportscar. Consumed several Allendale APA's and rattled off a few Gran Marnier chocolate Crepes. Found a website where you can buy Rillette mail order but alas it won't be here on time. Might make my own.

Planning on an early night tonight (so mch for mad Friday) and a long lay in in the morning.

What site is the live timming on LB?
Does the ACO usually run okay on the web during the race?

I've not looked for these before, usually it's strictly RLM & Eurosport.

ACO site has this    http://live.lemans-tv.com/en/

Usually works ok during race, so far though this year's look like different format

[Lazy B'stard]

I'd love to be able to get the timing screens that they have at the circuit. All the sector times and notes from race control.

I'm such a fecking anorak.

[John G]

Well this is what happens you see

After a number of 'virtual' Le Mans weekends I am anorakised big style

There is only 1 cure, get our buts to a field in France to reset perspective 

[termietermite]

  I was thinking....2?

That would do it.

JCB has walked out on Pescarolo!!

[Fran]

I was at a Spanish cookery class last night quaffing white sangria, cinema tonight, Chris Cornell gig tomorrow night and a yomp across the peak district tomorrow daytime .... I dont think I have got the hang of this moping at home malarky!

Will have to try and catch up on Sunday.

JCB has walked out on Pescarolo!!

Do we know why?

[Lazy B'stard]

Not sure yet. Just said he didn't want to drive the car after the shunt on Wednesday.

He seems to be a little lost at sea these days. Still a quick driver but has been very accident prone over the last 18 months. Dropped by Rebelion after that big shunt at Spa last year. Hasn't looked happy since. It's a real shame as I've always liked him in interviews etc.

Back to the accident.... He said it suddenly snapped left under braking on the mulsanne. There has been no explination as to what happened, but as soon as the car got back to the garage they quickly removed the left front suspension and then stopped working on the car. Maybe he has seen something he doesn't like?

That bloody car is cursed I'm sure.
