The Live Gig !
Apparently there's a French band playing on the Friday night and Saturday night's live band is li'l old UB40 !!
Kangaroo TV
After a couple of years of pontificating (!!) I've decided to reserve a Kangaroo TV for the race at a suitably discounted price.
S0, here's hoping it's as good as it sounds and people tell me......
Excitement definitely mounting now - only a month to go :o)

Pug Wins easily at Sebring
After securing a 1-2 on the grid for the American Le Mans Series opener for the Sebring 12 Hours, the Team Peugeot Total 908 HDi claimed a straightforward 1-2 finish in the race as well, having taken command from the start of unofficial testing.
It was the number 7 car of Wurz, Davidson and Gene that claimed victory over the sister car of Lamy, Bourdais and Minassian which finished just under 14 seconds behind. The third position Aston Martin Racing car was over 3 laps behind.
Granted they won quite easily but there was no Audi in the race as they had failed to get agreement from Peugeot to race at Sebring with a modified version of their 2009 car that did not quite fit the 2010 rules. As a result the Pug was the only diesel entry car and therefore almost guaranteed victory barring mechnical failure or driver error.
So, a taste of things to come at La Sarthe ? or is the Audi "R15 plus" gonna whip it's ass ?
Audi is planning to test the "R15 plus" further in Europe and will contest the Le Mans Series Rounds at Paul Ricard and Spa (assuming no more of the track has fallen apart in the interim !!) and of course LM in June.
