Friday and a Race Update
Yesterday (Friday) we went to the Mulsanne to see some hooligans be idiots in Chevys, Porsches, Bicycles and stuff like that. For example, because everyone was next to a pub, quite oftenly there would be someone coming out, so I Corvette driver drifted out of the car park and almost lost control. Therefore there would be a nasty crash into someone.
Then we went to a Pistonheads BBQ for lunch, having some nice burgers, and seeing some exquisite cars.
Then we went to Camp Houx, or Camp Death, dubbed by Dad and Ian, because there was a dirt track that people drag raced on.
One of Dads friends was there, and he owned my dads old red (not black like you used to see at the school gates) TVR Cerbra. It had flip flop blue and purple colour, and an awesome noise (I revved it mwahahahahahaha)
Then we went to Le Mans town centre to have dinner (steak and French fries) in a great restaurant showing Spain vs Holland, which ended 5-1 Holland.
I went to bed at midnight.
This morning, we went to see the LMC Class Le Mans cars and the Porsche Carrera Cup races, which were exciting, and a couple of hours later, the race began!
At the moment, the standings are:
1. Toyota TS040 Hybrid No.7
2. Porsche 919 Hybrid No.20
3. Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro No.2
4. Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro No.1
5. Porsche 919 Hybrid No. 14
6. Toyota TS040 Hybrid No. 8
The Audi No. 3 is not in this list as it was retired because of torrential rain, and a Ferrari 458 Italia hit it and sent them into the barriers, and as the Toyota No. 8 was closely behind it, it hit the debris and also went into the barrier. Thankfully, the Toyota crew fixed it and it is racing again.
We are about to go to the Mulsanne Corner, which finishes the 2 mile straight, and after that we will always go to Arnage in the dark to see the cars go by.
