Mikelancs should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
If I remember rightly we had heavy rain after the race last year whilst we decided to pack the tent in the middle of it!

This post just passes moderation as it talks of rain after the race......

Having spent the last few months living near the equator, I'm hoping for heat in abundance now more than ever. Looks like we've got our best chance in a while.

We're long overdue a proper scorcher. I'm after 2000, 2005 levels of pure heatwave.

There is a french word said in the villages of Mulsanne and Raudin with a shrug sounds like 'Pluie' then the locals all scurry for cover. Does any one know what it means (and why do so many of us want it about sunset time?)

I have absolutely no idea what that word means Sam but I'm led to believe that it once had some ancient weather reference but has now been officially struck from the French dictionary.......

Would it be a word only used in the Mulsanne county dialect?

I know that word but I believe it is offensive unless preceded by 'Il ne' and followed by 'pas'

(Looks sternly over glasses) You weren't one of the marshals trying to flag while struggling into wet weather gear, watching that wall of water march toward you down Les Hunaudières. Although it was mildly entertaining to see the cars pop out of the wall, streaming with water, into your (at that point) dry sector.

And then all $&@#% broke loose. No, I'm with Gingers and Ayse -- dry is the way to go.

2005 - My first Le Mans, blisteringly hot! (thought it would always be like that!) The Aston drivers were getting ice tipped all over them as they sat at pit stops.... paddling pools were everywhere on the campsites.....before they got banned. happy days!

The weather is so unstable I'm not very confident so far. It was the same last year. But, I am so pessimistic...

Have we ever had Hail storms at Le Mans?
Just seeing footage from Nürburgring which was hit massively.

Don't know. But even it such happened during the race, and at massive impact like at N24 today, I'm 99,9% certain they wouldn't red flag Le Mans during the race. WEC, ELMS, all those other series yes, but not LM. To my knowledge this is pretty much the only major race left in the world that won't be stopped no matter what happened - even if the regs state the possibility of such theoretically happening. It's just too much of a blow for historical reference where it's never happened, plus the crowds etc. So the race control would make them crawl around behind safety car for as long as "needed", but no red flag.

The only ways I could see it stopped mid-race would be declaration of war, nuclear strike, terrorist attack/hijack, asteroid impact, or hurricane. Possibly 1955 happening again as times have changed a bit.
