2018 24 Hours of Le Mans


For those of us relegated to watching the event on TV, here’s the global network coverages.

Hey, it looks like Velocity in the US is carrying the whole race live!!!
 
Dinner and drinks in Paris wearing our Ganassi/ Ford Performance jackets. Take that!

Close call between that and my hot, open face turkey lunch at my local diner, but you win.

Is that the cover of the Ford Performance catalog?

Looks like Fun.
 
Very nice... you guys rock!
 
Mary and I had dinner with the Rowan's in Le Mans Centre. Waiting for the rest of the gang to show up.

Jerry is your avatar your new Mexico Blue GT?

No, it’s Rivera blue. I hear everyone is switching to this color.

Two years attending the Race, I still can’t believe Ford decided to eliminate the Hospitality Suite and Attendee Program for this year. Very disappointed!

Some friends of mine that live here in Lemans tell me that unless you're a duck or don't mind wearing hip waders all day, the camping area is flooded in areas. So not good for those planning to camp out
So yeah, it could be a lot worse and very disappointing!
 
Been raining on and off since we got here. But it’s supposed to be clearing up a little. Rain is forecast at some point during the race. Ajai has discovered a Ford charity event that we’re going to tonight - all four cars and teams will be there plus some road cars. It’s great to be back!
 
Day trip to Chartres. Some snails and wine for lunch. Sorry for the sideways pic.

Keep those cards and letters coming kiddee's! Wishing I could be there but J107 arrives this Thursday. I'll be watching the race from the interior of her. :)

Pre-Race changes to BoP for LeMans.

Looks like Porsche got very favorable consideration (no changes) while the Aston team succeeded in their sandbagging efforts. Meanwhile, back on the home front.... :-(

I don't quite get the Porsche thing. I mean I do, but I don't get how you *sell* the fastest car getting no changes, and the second car getting a boost reduction.

Happy Birthday Porsche. :lol

Jealous .. but that is the old gear !! Got to step it up to the new team colors.. :-)
 
The early arrival gang (Dave, Roz, Mary, and I) ventured out to a small car show/street festival in a local village tonight. Ruaudin is just off the Mulsanne straight. Lots of car clubs there with a bunch of American iron including Mustangs galore. The new FGT and '05 Quicksilver FGT are from Belgium, I believe. Anyone on this Forum? Some replica GT40's and a Daytona coupe.

KarKajun... can you do a live unveiling of your new GT so I can be there when it happens :)
