Situation normal for a Land Rover:
However not all is at it seems...
...Since I was carrying all the kit for the sports car brigade in our group, and I had a little radiator leak and it would be 90 minutes in stop start traffic in 32degs just to get out the circuit, I decided to leave at 12 o'clock, drive straight out and listen to the end of the race from North of Le Mans (she would have overheated in that no doubt: note to self - put the cooling fan back in).
However this was the only place (a works entrance on the ring road) I could find a decent radio signal and in the shade. So bonnet up, hi viz jacket on (later I added a 5l water bottle on the win for effect), sit back and enjoy.
And when the police turned up to see if I was all right? Once they found out what I was doing they just told me to carry on!
Could have been worse (at Caen docks last night)...
trip report to follow
