So for us not making the pilgrimage to Circuit La Sarthe have you any special plans for the weekend? Watching the race in a weird location or anything?

I was watching first practice earlier through TiVo and I don't have any premium channels. Not sure which it was on though. Maybe a Eurosport?

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

Enjoying the race so far. Shocked the Ferraris have the legs on the straights

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...

I don't think I've been here for years. Let's say 'Stuff' got in the way.

I've enjoyed spectating from the sofa this year, with a VPN enabled dodgy French stream and RLM on in the background.

Hope whoever went had a belting time and managed to at least keep their undercrackers dry.
If I had all the money I've ever spent on drink, I think on balance, I'd probably spend it on drink.

Well well here’s a name from the past. How the devil are you Nick? Long time no see. Hope you are  well. The last year of the old Houx Annexe with your BBQ missiles still gets mentioned quite often when relating tales of Le Mans shenanigans.
