I expect everyone one this thread has had a similar thing happen Bix, I know I have.
Saturday evening is just about here in the UK (6.20pm). I have intermittently been watching the live feed of the Le Mans 24hrs at the Circuit de la Sathre. It is not the same as being there. The Saoutchik flag is being carried by my youngest daughter and one of her friends who have gone in my place. I had a brief phone conversation with her a while back and she seemed to be enjoying it despite not being a fan.
