Fuck me, where did half the year disappear to without a trace?
Already next weekend will be the 87th time the 24h Du Mans take place.

One year I'll go to this. Maybe in the Oldsmobile or borrow my dad's xjs. Bucket list thing.

I used to go, was even on teams twice.
Nowadays I prefer to surround me with screens and follow it online from my office chair.

I am off again next Friday for the 21st year. I have a spare campsite pass at the moment if anyone is interested. I think it will be a quiet one this year as there are plenty of tickets going spare. New regulations come in next year which will hopefully spice it up a bit now the big boy's have packed in LMP1

43 teams enter 62 cars this year. That's a new record.
As the number of spectators decreases, so does the number of participants increase.

Check out the Rebellion team's cars. Each has an artsy fartsy livery.

Art cars never win at Le Mans.
