Le Mans 2012 - Ayse's Story
Page 17 - Saturday
Tertre Rouge and Darkness Beckons
After our leisurely meal, which was a relatively quiet one due to the race running under the safety car (and enabled me to phone home while I could hear what I was saying!), it was time to return to what has become our 'evening home' at Le Mans, the spectator area overlooking Tertre Rouge corner. As I've said repeatedly over the last few years since the corner was reprofiled, for me, this has become the best spectator viewing area anywhere around the circuit, particularly if you happen to have a camera in your hand for most of the time....
It was still dry and even if it wasn't sunny any more, it will still pretty warm, already a lot warmer than it had been at this same time last year and it was great to watch the race over a period of no more than 30-40 minutes as the light died away and we headed into my 27th race night at Le Mans. I mentally settled down to savour the truly mesmerising part of the great race once again....
As always, I took a lot of photographs at Tertre Rouge and have reproduced a sample of them here....
