Suitably refreshed after our pizza and coffee break  we said farewell to Pascal, fully expecting to see him again out at Mulsanne for breakfast.  As Saturday turned into Sunday, we decided to make our way back to the grandstand.  At this time of night the stand was only sparsely populated and we were able to take up seats near the top so that I could at least try and get a shot or two above the debris fencing. 

              

                   

                   

                   

                   

                   

                   

                   

                   

              

This is actually a pretty impossible task on this side of the straight, however the vantage point does afford a good view across into the garages, all brightly lit in the now full darkness. 

                   

                   

                   

                   

              

Regular readers will know that I don't spend too much time in my stories detailing the race itself - you can easily find a race report if you want to know exactly what was happening, however the #2 Audi had established the best part of a lap lead by this time which the chasing Toyotas simply couldn't break into - they clearly needed rain - not a succession of safety cars. 

              

                   

It was pleasant sitting up there in the stand, although not overly warm and there was a danger of settling down and getting too comfortable, so at about 1.40 am we decided to make our move (having seen the traffic ease) out to Arnage and Indianapolis.
