But the race itself was epic! The toyota's are really REALLY fast and they are really putting it to Audi and Porsche.
Toyota seem in the strongest position to take Le Mans this year though, going by the first two races at least. Then again, 24 hours is a long time!
I couldn't get over the noise (or the lack of!) of the Audi's. In comparison to the rest of the field, all you hear is air displacement really!
In contrast, the Aston Martins were just brutal. Every time one passed you would shudder a bit, but in a good way!
Radillion (Eau Rouge) is the only corner on a racetrack where you experience a G force in all directions. The fact they don't lift off for this corner is even more impressive!
But what I enjoyed the most was trying to get these low shutter speed pans through the trees. I only got it right a couple of times, but each time I did, it was an explosion of color and gave a good idea of the speed they reach on the Kemmel straight.
Next weekend, I'm off to Cologne to see the HQ of the Toyota Le Mans operation, TMG Europe, and then a day at the Nurburgring for a round of the VLN (and maybe a couple of laps afterwards
). I am gonna be eating soup and raw potatoes for the next while to get through this month, but to be honest I wouldn't have it any other way!!

So if you have time, take a look at the article and let me know what you think. It takes me a long time to put these together and it's all out of my own pocket, so hopefully it's worth all the time and effort!
