24 Heures du Mans | 10:47:00
The superlative propaganda/documentary film Truth in 24 begins with narrator Jason Statham intoning gravely, "It always rains at Le Mans." That has not been my experience in the years I have watched Le Mans. Now, though, after periodic light showers in the early running, it is raining cats & dogs on the front straight of the Circuit de la Sarthe. Sunrise is still some hours away, so it is raining cats & dogs in the pitch dark. We wouldn't want things to be too dull, now would we?
