Back to action at Le Castellet, with the Blancpain Endurance Series (1000 km - 24/25 June), which is considered as the ultimate rehearsal before the summit of the GT3 season, the 24 hours of Spa-Francorchamps (end of July).
Many pilots who entered the 24 hours of Le Mans the week end before, move directly to Le Castellet !
The practice sessions and the race have taken place under a scorching sun 
, challenging human beings, motors and tyres resistance...
he real Stars of the Paul Ricard are not these ones... 
...
ut the oleanders in bloom 
!
n the track, it is almost overcrowded with 61 GT3 
...
Here is my favourite livery in various blue tones, a Black Falcon Mercedes, and in the background a pack of hungry wolves.
he outdated Jaguar G3 is a 100% private initiative of the Frey Racing swiss team : one could say, that it is the Queen Mother against a bunch of kids.
Always in the top positions of the standings at race opening, it will even be reported at the 1st place after two hours... Thanks to the Balance Of Performance !
unset is for sure a crucial moment for the photographers. At last, heat is decreasing, but unfortunately the nice tangential light is a bit blured by a kind of fog
Well, it is not ugly, far from that, but last year the 'money time' pictures were better...
y the way, there was 'something big' (not in quantity, but in quality) with the demo laps of the fabulous GT1s !
These were the good old days... What a delight for the eyes and the ears 
...
...
s usual, the 'molto indisciplinata' Lamborghini Trofeo pack was fighting in its own races.
nd it got almost dark... In these conditions, noise becomes invasive on my sensor, and moreover the 70-300 autofocus slips (and/or sleeps) 
.
It is no use trying to shoot any more, just enjoy the atmosphere.
...
ike in Asterix comics, every story ends with a banquet a 'Roof top party' 
!
...
ell, good bye, and see you soon for a next event !
