Totally agree!
You will never see a more congenial crowd of people, no flash or big bankbooks in evidence, just hot, dirty, tired, blissed out people with cameras and good hiking boots out to have a good time. (Although there was nearly a fist fight in my grandstand at the last hour when someone disputed the ownership of a seat with someone else who refused to discuss the matter - and was in the wrong as it turned out - fortunately he was ejected before any blows could fall.
I am hot, dusty, tired, my feet hurt, I have 8 rolls of film including a whole roll at Arnage Corner at 2:00 a.m., and I could not be more ready to do it all over again next year.
If you have a choice of an F1 race or Le Mans, it should be no choice. GO TO LE MANS!
