Le Mans to Berlin and a bit beyond

A good evening yesterday, the chilli seeming to go down well, accompanied by a robust red.

Food over, we went to watch the nighttime practice through to midnight:

Arnage Corner is a really sharp right hand bend and has been a part of the circuit since day one. It’s the slowest corner on the track and the closest a spectator can come to the cars.

The speeds that the cars approach has to be seen to be believed, especially at night.
 
Friday and it’s cloudy, with a hint of rain in the air. I started the day by pedalling to Mulsanne to pick up two boxes of wine for Saturday night.

Next event will be lunch at the Bar du Centre in Arnage village, then back to my friends’ accommodation for more nonsense through the evening.
 
I’m the advance guard:

The price of a pint has jumped from Friday’s EUR 7 to EUR 10. Hey ho, they have to make a living while they can.
