Bet you weren't planning on seeing photos like that when you read the text! He He!
Yup, it's called the 24 hour truck race but in reality it is a three day event on the small Bugatti ciruit, not the 8.4 mile long circuit. Each race is about 10 or 15 laps and some start 30 secs behind the others because they are more powerful. Truck racing here is a big thing and the Le Mans race is the last event of the season. On the Saturday evening we have drag racing (yes!) lorries on the main straight and lorries sounding off all night so sleep is impossible. I live 4 miles from the actual circuit as the crow flies but sometimes I still here them, and can see the big firework display too. It is a spectacle though. We actually have, including the 24 hour classic on even date years, four 24 hour races but three of them are actually 24 hour non stop racing. Can you guess, by any chance, what the other might be? I'll be very surprised if you can get it.
Next year I am determined to go to the 24 hour lawnmower race in England because I've never been. It must be a hoot. The onlt problem is remembering what happened because I am led to believe that it is a 24 hour drinking race too!
