Day 1 is almost over and it was a wet one. We arrived at Le Mans this morning on 8 am, not even ten minuten later it started raining badly ... The campsite Blue Nord wasn’t open yet, as we saw several motorhomes waiting te get in, so we decided to head up to the Carrefour to do some shopping and have a quick nap in the camper.

At 2 pm, we decided to leave the camper at the Carrefour-parking and take the tram from there on to the village, so we could take a look at the scrutineering. Meanwhile it stopped raining and even the sun broke through the clouds ... unfortunately not for long, so ‘round 5 we decided to head back to the camper, have a quick dinner and get onto Blue Nord. The scrutineering itself as great, you can get right next to the cars and a great opportunity to take some up and close pictures and get to the drivers.

Surprisingly, this year the “securité” at Blue Nord has a readable plan in their hands, they even pointed us to the right spot instead of dropping you off somewhere. Blue Nord is rather empty for the moment, no doubt that will change by tomorrowevening or Wednesdaymorning ...


Tomorrow an early rise to get to the village again and watch the scrutineering of Aston, Oreca and Pescarolo. Let’s hope the weather will be better as I’ll be out and about with lots of camerastuff ...
