After all the French won't want you staying too long
Strange. I think we’re all exceptionally good company.

Optimism from Benny, now I’m worried!It’ll be back to normal by the time we go.
Also reciprocal 14 day quarantine upon arrival in France is being introduced in a “tit for tat” move as it was last time as reported by the BBC this morning.14 day quarantine coming back from France is back in then
The good news is, it's now only 11 months until Le Mans.
I'll get the radios on charge.
Going to have the conversation with Brittany Ferries on Monday, wish me luck but we may lose it as we can still travel on it. Maybe they will cancel it
The Renault 14 Shelf is okay MattI think we should be prepared that we may lose our money on that one.
I know the girls in the office very well so I’ll see what can be done.
Should be able to move to next year. I have a credit to move when dates and times become available.Going to have the conversation with Brittany Ferries on Monday, wish me luck but we may lose it as we can still travel on it. Maybe they will cancel it
I would like to see the one on the right get in with his helmet on and drive.You will be saved from this for 2020.

For those of us that have missed our annual dose of this awesome event, the original Le Mans film with Steve McQueen from 1971 is on BBC2 this afternoon.
zero plot as they hadn’t written the script when filming started, and the fall outs between McQueen and the investors are legendary (read French Kiss with Death book for the whole story). But..... the driving sequences are amazing and more so when you know it’s all for real with real drivers and cars (Except the crashes where Lola chassis were used on mock 917 and 512 bodies) no CGI and lots of risk. This is how David Piper lost his leg!
Film was panned at the time but now a cult classic.....enjoy!
Won't be the same but you can watch the race for free this weekend. If you have Amazon Prime then you can sign up for a 7 day trial of Eurosport through that and the whole race is on. Watched a bit of free practice this morning and it was very strange to not be there and to see the empty grandstands.
There's a few of us that usually go (no more than 6) going to a mate's house to sit in the back garden, drink watered down lager and eat baguettes on Saturday!
