hummmmmm

 

Is Noah on the lead Audi tonight

 

I must say I'm pleased to be  watching on Eurosport, and  not in a tent in a swamp

 

I know Beer and atmosphere  counts for a lot, but still, Cold and rain is worse on balance....

I've spent too many years there in that kind of weather to ever want to bother again. It's not that much more enjoyable when it's baking hot either.

 

Somehow I've missed the fact that Fabien Barthez (ex-France and Man Utd keeper) has his own race team and turns out to be a handy driver. :wacko:

 

Bearing in mind I've probably seen no more than 6 hours of racing combined, I shall probably do as I usually did there in the comfort of home. Listen to Radio LeMans and drink champagne. :lol:

thumbsup There is something strangely comforting about those guys when you are sitting on the porsche curves in the rain at 2am :)

Sitting watching it now, as someone who has been going to this and the Classic for many years I beginning to prefer the HD Eurosport cover with a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich in hand.

The nords 24hr had p1 & p2 less than a second apart with 1minute to go.. Unfortuntly they had to cross the line so they had to do another lap and p2 did a questionable pass on p1 to takt the lead while still on the nords gp

Interesting battle between the Ford GT's and the Ferraris too. Looking good for Toyota as well.
