Jay Kay was there at the expense of Audi - not the ACO - I still have the 'Audi 24 Jam' T shirt to prove it.
The concert was also held inside the track near the karting track - not where it is today. |

As is clear from this thread international visitors are there for the race and will only attend the concert is it is of interest - it has no effect on the money that they spend whereas it could cause locals to buy tickets and spend money when they otherwise may stay at home |

Indeed. 'Pony Pony Run Run' doesn't tick any box with me, but apparently they are quite big with the french youngsters. If this is a way to attract more people to carracing, we should not complain!

That all sounds fair enough to me. More people through the gate is good for the health of the race.

Obviously I'm all in favour of attracting French youth (which given the crowds around the bands on Saturday night is clearly relatively successful) but equally pretty sure I'm not in a hurry to listen to these guys again... |

A few bands I really like and would pay loads of money to see are big with the "French youth" as you call them, but Razorlight seem to be the only ones they've gone for so far. A lot of these bands are only known in France for a reason...
But anything that brings young people through is good. It was quite noticeable this year the lack of people who were my age. We need a new generation to come through. |

There is a random, 2-second, mirrored and black-and-white shot of a couple of Ford GT40s in the wet at Le Mans... IN THE MIDDLE OF AN EPISODE OF MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS!

First series, episode 4, about 3 minutes after the Self-Defense Against Fresh Fruit sketch ends.

As the 'Le Mans 2014 - Who's going' thread wandered slightly off topic, I thought it might be a good idea to continue the squirrel/brewdog discussion over here.
I'm going to visit the Snooker Master's at Alexandra Palace in Januari, and as there are 3 brewdog bars in London, I might give one of them a visit! |

If you need tips of where to drink in the financial centre (the city or canary wharfe) i have 33 years of beer testing to call on even if i am no longer working there. Have fun Vince and remember that real beer should be drunk at room temperature, should be hand pumped or gravity feed straight from the barrel and is not called lager. and if you find yourself in Kent let me know.

Welcome James. Lest you should be confused, we do occasionally discuss other things here apart from beer and cheese....... (Emphasis on the 'occasionally')....
