With a little too much time on my hands at the moment , I did have a look at the historical weather data for the equivalent week in September. The average high and low temperatures for September are just one degree lower than June, and last year the weather hit 29 degrees on one of the days during race week. Sun hats, shorts and sun cream will be needed for sure!🌞

I was in south western France that week and the weather was lovely. I climbed into the car on the Sunday morning to drive home to Normandy and at 6.00 am it was raining gently. By the time I reached Bordeaux I could barely see for fog and torrential rain. To be fair I can't remember what the weather was like in Pays de la Loire, but that weekend was summer's end

No problem on the campsite, I will have more than one.

[Aysedasi]

True enough....

[Aysedasi]

Thinking of taking a face mask with you if the race happens in September?

[GT6]

How many of those would we need for for a week, presumably several dozen each

[CTD]

I keep seeing people making these masks out of t-shirt fabric with failing to understand it does little to protect you other than reminding yourself not to touch your face.
I will keep a good distance and wash my hands with soap or alcohol

[Aysedasi]

But they're not really intended to protect you, they're intended to protect others.... these non-medical grade ones, anyway....

Just a couple, you can wash them.... they're not disposables... (not that I'm intending to buy one).

Not to take this too off topic, the fabric is not dense enough to catch all particles?

[Aysedasi]

All particles? No, almost certainly not. But as I say, this is a largely cosmetic mask. Most of the masks I see people wearing aren't medical grade.

[crmalcolm]

In my line of work, I occasionally have to don the mask below. From experience, I can confirm it doesn't block all particles.

It's not about a 100% solution, it's about reducing risk. A face covering of cloth that reduces the amount of moisture being exhaled into the air will reduce the risk (even marginally).

[Aysedasi]

Exactly so.

[GT6]

But it will also catch particles in the air breathed out by other people and therefore increase the risk of you catching what ever they have

[midgetman]

That's where the social distancing comes in. So you don't get close enough to breathe their particles before they fall on the floor.

These face coverings are all about being seen to do something. They're not much use, but they may make you more careful...

...or more careless. Who knows?

They do slim fit and classic so i think i might need the classic, but rather expensive for just a t shirt.

It's not so bad for this kind of site and method of production. They have a lot of other Le Mans related shirts.

[GT6]

As i have quite often not left the house i have been wearing a lot of my old le mans t shirts recently

Pretty sure i will not be wearing one of those unless i am forced to

[Aysedasi]

If you have to wear one, it's pretty good....

[Aysedasi]

I confess I'm quite tempted by this one.....
