Welcome to Optimism

the excitement of le mans

Le_mans

Every year the petrolheads from Honda’s agencies drive down to Le Mans for a weekend of cars, beer and "Sandwich American" which is a french stick stuffed with ham, cheese and chips. This year we camped at a lovely chateau about a 20 minute drive from the famous Le Mans track.
This is a picture of the team sitting in Grandstand number 1 just down from the Dunlop bridge on the Esses. It’s a Le Mans tradition of ours to drink a bit in the day and then fall asleep in our seats about an hour into the race. This gives the French something to laugh about and allows us to recharge our energy levels to carry on drinking for another 23 hours.
