**Peter Mallett** · 9 Sep 2020, 16:22 (Ref:4001183)

I have a distinct feeling of de ja vu.

**Aysedasi** · 9 Sep 2020, 16:50 (Ref:4001194)

Indeed so Peter, we haven't yet really discovered what the new 'normal' is and we've no idea what it will be in 9 months either....

Ten Tenths dutch spy is currently hidding in Malmedy just in case they open the doors to fans.

You're not thinking of Ton, are you?

I'm not sure Malmedy is noticeably closer to Le Mans than the usual location of said spy.

Had it been a couple of weeks ago and Spa then I'll grant you that would have been a different story.

I was thinking the same.

Just a reminder that there is a dedicated thread for comments about viewing the race....

Shouldn't this thread be closed as it is clear now no spectators will be in attendance?

**Aysedasi** · 15 Sep 2020, 13:47 (Ref:4002599)

No. I'll just take that as a silly question. We'll all be going - virtually. And if my son should post - actually....

GT6 · 15 Sep 2020, 13:53 (Ref:4002602)

Yes all the usual people will be there virtually, and i will probably end up watching more of the race than usual as fewer distractions

not sure about that. 2 years in a row i stayed up from 7am saturday to 6pm sunday at the track with no problems....i cant do that at home on a comfy couch!

GT6 · 15 Sep 2020, 16:29 (Ref:4002628)

Well i always managed to get some sleep on saturday night and have always got up before day break to watch the sunrise but as i usual drive home sunday i usually get some more sleep after watching the sun rise, This year i do not have to worry about driving home.

**Peter Mallett** · 15 Sep 2020, 16:30 (Ref:4002630)

I've just ordered twenty-four bottles of beer.

GT6 · 15 Sep 2020, 17:01 (Ref:4002637)

1 an hour, sounds perfect

As you say Simon, virtually!!!
Here it is very special because now 4 days left to the race start and the town and around are very calm. In the fact it is a normal week. Absolutely no excitement around. Very special feeling!!!
I tried to go to the circuit but no surprise! Closed for 2 weeks now but nevertheless they put screens!!!Unless they disassemble them

The one at the dunlop curve is in place too. So who are these screens for? Maybe the ACO will call me on friday evening to be along the track on saturday............
And what I miss here are all these strange cars with a right side wheel that appear about 15 days before the race!!:

ATLFalconsFAN · 15 Sep 2020, 18:43 (Ref:4002664)

Oh man, thanks Eric. Now I picture it being a "regular" week in Le Mans and that bums me out. Then again, there was a certain special week in June that was just another week in Le Mans, so sadly we should all be getting used to this...

GT6 · 15 Sep 2020, 19:00 (Ref:4002671)

So they have put up screens but no one to see them, perhaps there is a chance locals will be allowed in in limited numbers

Unfortunately I don't think so!!

Yes sad! But next year to be positive!!!

there are 2 "spectator" zones for those taking part in the event.

1) Arnage for those based outside the Bugatti circuit
2) Maison Blanche terracing

does this match up with the screen placement?

**Adam43** · 16 Sep 2020, 00:01 (Ref:4002717)

Interesting they put the screens up! I guess they were committed. I wonder if they will show he race or adverts?

S griffin · 16 Sep 2020, 07:46 (Ref:4002741)

I wonder how many will be able to watch on the big screen? Just have to wait and see what they have planned for that. Hopefully it will be more the race rather than the adverts, otherwise there is no point

dwh43scale · 16 Sep 2020, 08:07 (Ref:4002742)

Drivers are known to use the screens for information at some circuits ...

GT6 · 16 Sep 2020, 08:42 (Ref:4002747)

So we might not be there but one of ten tenths friends will be, emmanual Piro has been announced as the grand marshall and will be waving the flag. Have meet him several times now and so much better to have a man with real history waving the flag rather than a polititian/minor film star

**Peter Mallett** · 16 Sep 2020, 09:28 (Ref:4002753)

Goodwood regular to boot.

S griffin · 16 Sep 2020, 14:35 (Ref:4002790)

Maybe not the greatest GP driver, but a great sportscar driver, who has put a lot into the sport and does his historic due to his passion. I can’t think of many better to do it
