Default A Lap Of Le Mans

I was recently incredibly lucky to get a lap of the Le Mans 24 Hour circuit in the hours just prior to the race.
It turned into a 'racing' lap and if you have not already seen my report, you may wish to read it here.

Below are a few images, but all my trip and race images from Le Mans can be found in the Gallery at
http://www.atomic-adventures.co.uk/

I hope you enjoy them.

Very nice story and pics. You are a lucky individual. Lemans...I have, so far, only been able to dream.

Sounds like a great experience. Thanks for the write-up and the great photos.

As for the race, if we could just get the ACO to fix those air inlet and fuel tank capacity issues....

Thanks guys.

A good few people have asked about videos and this is something I have not been so hot on so far. :o

I really wanted one from Le Mans, but it was all a bit chaotic, but it looks like others are saving the day,
so I am now adding a Video section to the website and you can also view them here Atomic Adventures Videos

There are two promos up already with version one of Le Mans, although this will be updated should other footage
come to light (as I hope it will!)

I hope you enjoy them and I'll be investing in a bullet cam for future trips, so plenty more to come.
