For the Friday Pit Walk, the Select Motor Tours bus picked us up around 9.30 am from La Ferte Bernard. Race car fans from all over the world were on the bus, including from my home country Australia. Also, met the president of the Mark Webber Fan Club. About 45 minutes later we arrived at Le Mans and the bus parked in the coach parking area near the main entrance to the track. We had until 3.30 pm for the Pit Walk, then the bus would take us to the Le Mans city center for the Drivers Parade, then back to the hotel around 9 pm. Hope you like the photos.

The “sea” of people as far as you could see down pit lane. It was amazing how many people were at the Pit Walk. Took a while to get from one end of the pit lane to the other and to get near the pits for photos of the garages (Canon 50mm f/1.2L, f/16, 1/60, ISO 400)

Decided to walk to the other end of the pit lane, hoping the crowd of people would be less, then walk back for shots of the cars in the garages. When I got to the other end of the pit lane was greeted by the “Michelin Man” (Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II, 70mm, f/2.8, 1/8000, ISO 100)

Finally was able to get close enough to take some shots of the cars in the pit garages. Here’s the #46 Thiriet by TDS Racing Ligier JS P-Nissan being worked on by mechanics (Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II, 70mm, f/2.8, 1/160, ISO 100)
