You're right about the packaging, Bernard, a real work of art. It's a small detail but it feels special and just adds to the anticipation.

Yep, I got in just in time for my seat at Tertre Rouge.....

Seems The Charlatans have been lined up to play on the Saturday night. Not sure where they'll put the stage this year.....

With luck, as far away from me as possible.... Why would anyone come to the World's greatest motor race and watch bands playing......?

Here's a fifteen day forecast........

**Aysedasi** · 19 May 2006, 07:28 (Ref:1614005)

It is going to be sooooooooooooooooooooooo hot. Just like last year.

AllonFS · 19 May 2006, 07:34 (Ref:1614008)

It's official, the annual weather thread/prayers have started. Now we are getting close.

**Aysedasi** · 19 May 2006, 07:47 (Ref:1614014)

Yep, and, as always, I maintain it will be blisteringly hot all weekend. It might rain at any time up to Thursday, but Friday lunchtime onwards will be sensational weather. (Coz that's when I'll be there......

) And no-one had better suggest otherwise as Le Mans "will it rain?" posts are considered weather heresy and you can expect them to be dealt with either by the burning at the stake of the poster (or should that be "steak" if you're taking a BBQ?) or an immediate 10/10ths ban........

Suze · 19 May 2006, 13:23 (Ref:1614217)

Pilgrimage · 19 May 2006, 13:24 (Ref:1614218)

If have received a cryptic email message regarding a package being shipped to me.
No way of identifying what it was until today.
The "package" has been shipped via UPS with a starting detination of ...
...wait for it...
...Le Mans!!! Could this be my tickets ....

My only concern is that i'm not at home to accept the package - :bugger:

That's a real shame.

They send them back to a collection centre in the Outer Hebrides if there's no one to sign for them.........

Suze · 19 May 2006, 13:35 (Ref:1614228)

Hehe mine are in the safe custody of someone else....

Looks like i might be going on a pre-Le Mans road trip then!!

Pilgrimage · 25 May 2006, 12:48 (Ref:1618623)

The camping ones are very plain this year though.
I have a choice of Beausejour and Bleu Nord and not sure which one to use... what a dilemma!

Not that it shows much!!!!!!!

Suze · 26 May 2006, 09:04 (Ref:1619307)

I've never been, don't know what to expect!

GT6 · 26 May 2006, 09:21 (Ref:1619322)

Camping Tickets have arrived, was beginning to worry but now in posession of three reddish peices of paper value on Ebay ridiculous value to me priceless. Tertre rouge here we come.

Audi Racer · 26 May 2006, 17:29 (Ref:1619644)

I want the Audis to come in 1-2 so badly. They said they were doing an extensive testing programme that is why they ran the super restricted R8 in the second and third rounds of the 2006 ALMS series but it won it's class in both. Dyson really need to do some hard work with Lola and AER because they are behind losing to the 6 year old Audi. I would really love to see the Dyson Lola B06/10 AER be head to head with the Audi R10. Those Porsche RS Spyders are blistering fast and need to go to the Lemans series and Roger Penske and his RS Spyder need to show Henry Pescarolo and his boys that Porsche is no joke and and show the Rolo boys whos boss. Those Porsches also need to go to the 2 hours of Lemans and beat the Pescarolos badly. Just hope there driveshaft issues and alternator problems are gone

Its all playtime, my friend. Its what happens in just over three weeks that counts.....

**Bentley03** · 29 May 2006, 09:29 (Ref:1621788)

Question: is Live Timing available on Lemans.org for the Test Day? For the life of me I can't remember if it was operating or not last year.............

Dauer 962 · 29 May 2006, 16:17 (Ref:1622166)

Last year there was a official live timing of the test day on the Le mans website, hope this yaer it´s working also
