It's 3:41am here in the USA (Alexandria, VA). I'm at work, listening to Radio LeMans. Looking forward to watching the race today. Not sleeping will be fun. I figure lots of coffee and booze!!!

Just got up now. I didn't sleep particularly well - I'd wanted to be up earlier - but nevermind.
I'm going to be taking up position at around 2:30pm BST. RLM will go on at around an hour before that I guess.

Is there no race with the Group C cars? At the moment there's a race with the older cars.

"1955"
Ok, I understand why.
BTW I will be on Ten-Tenths forum (and Ten-Tenths chatbox) during parts of the race.

 Yes I was up in the night too waiting for the TV coverage to start.
Just watched the warm up and legends race and I'll be glued to the couch soon - very much looking forward to the GT1 battle.

Morning everyone 6:45 here in Toronto. Hope were all ready for a great day. Guess it's time for me to get all my ducks in a row, my favorite lounge chair, my snacks and refreshments, and the information center all set up and ready to go. Just printed off the spotters guide, got Crashnet Radio on, and i'm logged in here. Not much else to do except wait now. Hope everyone has a great race. I'll check in here and in the chat room every so often. "GO FELLOWS GO" (he's my neighbour) See you all later.

It depends where you are, if you're in the UK the race starts at 3pm. Mainland Europe are an hour ahead.
