As I type this the 2020 Le Mans 24 hour race would be about approaching the half way point. The campsite would still be brimming with life and the smell of barbecues, the fun fair would be going full tilt ,the stands would be gardually emptying and the cars would have settled into a rhythm.
Sadly none of this is happening and the action, if you can call, it that is confined to the 24hour virtual sim race.
Some photos from two of my Le Mans races. Above the main straight in early evening of the 2011 race taken from the trackside ferris wheel-a superb vantage point.
Below the victorious Peugeot team led by the winning car driven by David Brabham, Marc Gene and Alexander Wurtz on their final lap. The photograph was taken from the outside of the track at Tetre Rouge. At this point the cars turn onto the Mulsanne Straight.
