Beer Mountain : Most things you need to know about le mans can be found on this website - a bunch of crazy le mans veterans.  Respect.

 

Lycian Events : We have stayed at their campsite.  Great location.  Improved in 2015.  Probably the best campsite at Le Mans.

Flying Mercedes : Last time Mark Webber was at Le Mans he managed to park his car in a field.  Let's hope the same thing doesn't happen again this year.

 

Porsche 956 : The man himself Derek Bell driving a Porsche 956 around Le Mans in 1983.  Quick.  Very quick.  No chicanes to slow him down.

The spirit of Le Mans : The Nissan Delta Wing driver tries to fix his car after a crash.  He is not allowed external assistance and can only use the tools carried on the car.  After 2.5 hours he gives up, cries and has to be consoled by colleagues on the other side of the fence.  Be warned, this video has made grown men weep.
