Le Mans been getting very similar weather to us, which is normal.
Over the last 20 years it's been very rare to have a week with no rain at all.
Pack for every eventuality, perhaps not snow, unless your going to Spa of course!!!

Remember the year when radio Le Mans announced the weeks weather to be “rain with intermittent heavy rain”.We heard the whole campsite groan.

Sorry to inform you chaps but as I'm having a year off it will no doubt piddle down. Always happens in the 3/4 times i've not gone in 20 years. If it rains you may blame me.***


**Disclaimer it has rained with me at the event but not often

Except when it doesn't.....  ;)

I've had plenty of fully dry years.

Last year was dry for me. Watched start at Mulsanne. Rained elsewhere. When we got to Arnarge there were puddles.

We were in T17 at the start and it was pretty dry at that side of the track.  It wasn't until we were down between the end of the Porsche Curves and the Ford Chicane at about 10 pm that the heavens opened again and we got rained on for the one and only time.
