BTW, Indy GP coverage starts at 6pm uk time = 5pm France time = 1 hour after the 24hrs finishes = just enough time to adjourn to Speed Chills and line up a stash of cheap french draught.

Yup, that is great news - hopefully they'll also show the quali (don't I sound just like a racing driver?

) at 10:30 Sat night.

Also some touring car stuff on Sun before the F1.

Which will all provide a welcome break from the cycling race

Excellent - so after the track invasion, we can wander back to the campsite to enjoy more racing! Top!

Oh I'm so looking forward to this.

Was trying to describe why to my mates in the pub on Friday, by the end of it they decided it was.....

"Like a stag weekend, only longer, lairier and with nice cars"

Just about sums it up I think.

I was trying to explain to MJ how it would be different if she didn't come next year and said it would be more like a stag do. MJ thought that the amount of drinking she did last year was like a stag do. I suggested not.
