Day three @ Le Mans ... you’ll never beleive it, but it was a wet one ... Allmost all day it has been raining over here, I allmost gave up on it. Still, in a way we are the lucky ones, stayin in a camper instead of a tent. I don’t think I’d survive this weather in a tent anymore.
And so we counted down the hours to the start of the 6-hour practice session. Surprisingly, round 5pm the sun brake through the clouds ... could it be we’re having a dry practice session ? We headed onto the Dunlop chicane, put myself at the back of the grandstand and while te sun kept on shining, the first cars were unleashed at the track. We were lucky, and had a dry session for allmost 2 hours, from then on it was rain (again and again). Sometimes a few minutes dry, but afterwards the water kept on coming down. After the Dunlop we headed onto a grandstand opposite the pitboxes, the new terras at the Welcome centre in the village and (off course) had a few “crêpes Grand Marnier” ... no better way to end another drowned day.
Unlike other years, the grandstands weren’t crowded at all (except for the Dunlop and T23 grandstands), the wet weather scared most people off apparently ... you actually can ’t blame them. Weather predictions look much better for tomorrow, let’s hope we’ll see the sun more then in the past 3 days !
