I'm not going to the race this year so we interupted our family holiday near disneyland Paris with a day trip to the test day Sunday. Not quite the same but gave free access to all the grandstands so will post some photos without fences in shot.
Audi look good for the win again but the Toyotas looked good too.
The Delta wing is something of an oddity and was a bit of a stealth car for my autofocus but captured it on manual with a few goes.
Some very quick gt cars.
Difficult to tell real pace as teams obviously not just out for speed.
A word of warning Radio LeMans saying aco is getting some ticket barcode fails due to tickets getting too hot so keep them out of the sun.
I will post some pics to get you in the mood when I get home.
Paul

Oh those of you thinking of your fuel buget 95 unleaded is 1.55 euros at the supermarkets usual uplift on motorways. Large larger on circuit 5 euros.

Look forward to those Pics Paul...
Fuel similar to UK due to current half decent exchange rate then!
