Just back at the hotel (Sable Sur Sarthe) from the Le Mans 24 Heures race - Peugot 1st and 2nd, Audi 3rd, and Lola Aston Martin 4th. Well done Peugot.
The changes here since I used to come with the TR lot in the late 80's / 90's are considerable. The fair ground has moved down the hill, no longer up by Dunlop Bridge. The amount of French people attending has really increased, Parking Bleu used to be filled with classics and supercars, not many there now, the fields behind were just that - fields, now more camping and parking, and a huge prevalence of ordinary cars, followed by performance cars.
We went to the Great British Welcome on Friday, first time attending this part of the event, very good, lots more classics to look at, with a Morgan celebration / anniversary. Missed the town centre parade unfortunately, stopped at Arnage instead and watched the general buzz and queue of interesting cars / vehicles feed by.

Off to the cottage tomorrow in the Marcos, hope the rain stays at bay.
