No worry Delta, if you ask for kwassons or qwassons you'll get what you're asking for… unless you didn't enter a bakery !
No worry again, "parachute" has almost the same spelling/ pronouncing in both language. In you case, what you need is "parachute de queue" to stop your Caddy before Mulsanne, the place we use to have "panneautage". I'm but a mechanic but think you should consider the use of a parachute for each lap… |

So the important bit- the weather forecast! Looks like if there is rain, it will be on Thursday. Few days ago it was looking bad all that day, with thunderstorms Wednesday pm / eve as well, but latest prediction just mentions possible showers on Thursday, and up to 30 C by Sunday- just like UK at the moment! 2 yrs ago it was scorchio the whole meeting, so possibly more of the same.......
Why the interest? I’m going! |

Mike, what car will you drive? Last forecast, rather cool temps for all weekend not exceeding 25 C, may be some light showers on Friday.

A good weather forecast can be found typing
météo gratuite Ã* 15 jours, ville Le Mans zipcode 72. Of course if you ask for "la dernière" at the airfield close to the track it will be more accurate. Enjoy it! |

But Gerard, for those who lack power to win in their class a "bad weather" forecast might be more appealing. Where might they find one I wonder? |

C'on Grant, you just have to follow old Indian advice… Clean your bike and your cars carefully and as Mike would wear short trousers! At least it works for me. Dont think bike and cars are clean only when its raining though! In principle, no scorchio and no mud in the camping lot.
A lot of my friends are waiting for the Jag' Challenge announced to be one of the most competitive grid. |

Forecast steady but you can expect some short showers. In foreign language, it gives "quelques rares averses". But you can all speak french! VEN means Friday, SAM means Shadowday and DIM means the show is over, see you next time!

Lots of people bound for LMC on Caen Ferry that’s running hours late
Obviously lots of hairdressers going looking at cars boarding! Yes I am fed up. |

I managed 10 miles before hit an ‘overnight road closure’ (figuratively), which is better than last middle of the night journey when I only managed 3 before same thing!
Hope the Caen ferry eventually set sail. Now waiting to board the poverty spec P&O boat..... Next stop Sarthe! |

Mike, did you have a free hair cut while waiting for your boat? Hope you're well prepared to face the new PA dress code…

I can't see in the local newspaper if Mike has landed in Sarthe or not…
One of my mate is joining but discovered this morning he suffers a bad tendinitis in his Achilles tendon. No to much to worry, its "only" the left one. If you meet someone looking for an auto gearbox for a Jag', thats the guy! |
