For me the whole le mans ‘thing’ can be understood by a trip to the
arnage corner at night, the cars thunder through Indianapolis,
accelerate hard along a short straight before slamming on the anchors
for the tight arnage corner. Brake discs glow, exhausts spitting blue
and yellow flame as the in burnt fuel ignites on overrun and then the
roar as the driver tries to get the power on as quickly as possible.
It is an amazing thing and as we sat in our garden chairs scoffing hot
frites I was alarmed to discover that alfie was supporting corvette
and not Aston, pah.
As it was getting late we did not stay long however it took an age to
get back not helped by tom tom constantly trying to route us onto the
track!!
Another excellent car day, nice cobras, d-type and a gumpert apollo
and if you want to know about that I suggest you ask alfie, but not
just now as he is asleep.
