Mulsanne village - June 16, 2007
"We were about 50 Bentleys, the W.O. were well represented. Wwe gathered at Mulsanne village at 7am on Saturday June 16th before the start of the big race. After a briefing and a warm up lap the sky opened up and we did the remaining three laps on the Sarthe circuit in a heavy down poor with windscreens down of course. Due to the very slick roads the bigger cars had a hard time not skidding coming out of the corners but we had fun anyway, limiting the max speed to about 80mph. Shortly after we finished our laps the weather improved and the big race was off to a dry start and the wet drivers enjoyed a champagne breakfast."
