Will we be able to get there....we have not got the same passes as we had last time when we went....or is it much more relaxed at LMC?

Firstly, it's more relaxed but, as I understand it (and we are talking France here - anything can change without warning!), we can drive round the circuit to Arnage on Friday.

First practice is at 3, so I'd expect the roads will be closed around midday. There is a second way in to 106, taking the road to the roundabout at Maison Blanche, then turn the round towards Arnage, and then turn left on the Arnage-Mulsanne road. Just before the road arrives at the outside of Arnage corner, there's a road on the left called Chemin de Tertre, turn in there, follow it almost to the end and the motorhome will be down the lane on the left.

Inside of circuit packed and it's only Wednesday.
Interesting cars with some of Bugatti's looking newer than your average Veron.
See that the L M B. boys have completed the car C W and looks very,very good.
We are hidden at very end of Grid 1 paddock with Talbots

Presumably to fund the event, the promoter has slots booked where the rich & shameless can take their P&J out onto the circuit, in exchange for the passing of pieces of silver. At least it gives us marshals a break in a very busy schedule!

Finally realised when the weather was mentioned (hot and dry) and they were having a discussion on favourite car of the weekend when the race wasn`t even half over.
The wife has been very apologetic and is saying she will make it up to me this evening.............

Watching it on TV and it was all interviews and no racing, almost as if MotorsTV hadn't got the rights to actually televise the races. Very odd. de cadenet trying to make it up as he went along, with a bit of commentary, and then back to the studio.
Anyone able to enlighten me?
