The road to ruin: Le Mans 2023

[Felonious Crud]

I’ve found it now ont’ telly. Impossible using the iphone, but hopefully when I revert to the phone later on it will give me a “continue watching” option. I’ve got to go to a flipping bbq and would much rather just slob on the couch all day.

With exceptional planning we are able to achieve both. In fact, all three.

Surely someone in France will pay to eat that?

That’s sad. Had a Jenny Wren stuck in the grille of the Spyder back from Cornwall. Gave it a dignified end in the compost.

Well I hope you are all having fun out there. Been watching as much as I can this years and loving the race. Hope Ferrari keep that lead and happy the Iron Dames are first in class in their 911. When that rain came yesterday it made much excitement and spinning.

 

[Tallman]

There’s this. If you can stomach the horrible noises it makes…

What a race so far - keeping my fingers crossed

Rooting for Toyota and Iron Dames here, although a win for Rexy in GTE would be good too.

No idea about LMP2, just no interest in it.

Shame for Fassbender, got close.

Yep, LMP2 has never grabbed me and the latest cars just look terrible. Glad it is on its way out.

Not so far. He's still where he fell. There's a corner of some foreign grille that will be forever France.

Final hour, in a dodgy pub. Houx would want to live round here...

Aren’t you watching at the track ?

Aren’t you watching at the track ?

Travel 500 miles to watch a race. And go to the track when you can be in the pub.
Haha. You’ve got the mission statement confused Andy. It’s a pi55 up with a race as a side show.

For the record we watched approx. 70% of the race. At least I think we did.

I beg to differ. It's a race to the bar with a side of chips.

 

[2b1ask1]

It’s a race to any bar with fried pommes (bubble and squeaks, Jocks etc.)

Glad to see that fun was had by all , annual Sportsmaserati cannon ball run anyone

What a great idea! Do you know if that “Cheval Blanc” building behind the brolly in the photos is up for sale by any chance? Would make a great holiday rental property
