Has anyone watched it yet? Jesus the place has changed!
Not the roads as much as the sides of the roads.

Watched on Tuesday night when I got back.

Blimey, running for their cars to the start, spectators watching from a few feet, cars at 250mph, wow!

Boring storey though, but bugger me backwards, it sums up the feeling of Le Mans! Loved the bit at the beginning where all the campers tents are lined up in perfectly straight rows. Just like the present----NOT!

Great thing to watch though when returning home.

Can't wait for next year!

Le Mans Rocks!

Eh? This is not part of the film (It is the Steve McQueen Le mans, yes??)

Well, the pits have changed, and they no longer use white house but the rest is pretty recognisable.

If you get the 2004 Le Mans race video (usually out in August) and they show the race from other parts of the track you'll see its not too different

34 years ago guys, some things haven't changed, but most of the pit straight buildings are all different and there are major track changes over the years. The whole maison blanche section is no longer used for example. They built parallel section years ago.
