The Mayor of Le Lude will be getting a long awaited ‘SM fly past’ so expect Gendarmerie for breakfast on Saturday again.

He has probably secretly missed it.

He has probably secretly missed it.

How could he not. He's a man, flesh and blood. What's not to love about us ? We are exquisitely lovable.

Open arms!

Open arms!

Raised arms, he's french

Just announced that 50,000 spectators to be allowed in that's 20% of normal capacity and health passports needed.

What is a health passport I wonder ?

I'm guessing it's the Covid vaccinations to say when and what jab you had.

As I understand it, that or a recent negative PCR test.

Good. Because for the last few years it's been over-crowded and full of pished people on stag weekends.

And you lot too

We’re too smart to get married. Made that mistake years ago.

Tickets on sale on the ACO website from today. Site was overloaded and froze this morning but now seems OK and I’ve got mine!

20% of normal capacity so 50k tickets available…. Be quick if u want one!

The (reduced) crowds at Paul Ricard yesterday was reassuring that the Le Mans event will happen with people in attendance. Fingers crossed....

 

[Felonious Crud]

It's encouraging for sure. Our biggest challenge will be getting into France.

 

[BennyD]

Nobody has ever had trouble doing that and if you stay long enough they have been known to give you the country.

We could go by dingy. Nobody is looking for anyone going in that direction.

If you pay me 5 grand and your sister I'll arrange it.

Sorry to undercut you but I'm sure there's a few tried and tested ones in Kent, just lying around on a beach going spare

The way I understand it that if you have had both vaccinations you can come now.

And its quite easy to download the NHS app saying you've had them - even I managed! But I'm not sure how the QR code works.

That's Capes you're looking at. A lot of people confuse him with a deflated rubber dinghy.
