Hi all, i was wondering if anybody would be going to Le Mans this year? Ive not been before but it sounds like a laugh. Its on the 14-15 June but i will be going on the thursday during the day as its night practice that night and it gives me a chance to nick some pit passes from work and have a meander through the paddock. Plus it sounds like one big piss up lol. Anyway was wondering if anybody from here would be there?? |

Yeah I can't wait. I have been to the Nurburgring and Spa for the last 3 years on the trot so am looking forward to a different experience this year. I think with the crowd of people we have going it should be a lot of fun. I am also half tempted in going to Germany again later in the year, but may well end up going somewhere hot with a nice pool and beach instead. |

Hell yeah Le Mans is awesome nothing else like it for atmosphere and fast cars!Will be my 9th time this year i think (tbh ive lost count :lol:). 26 of us in 10 cars leaving Tuesday evening from Portsmouth to Le Harve, back on the Monday evening. Were rolling in style this year massive marquee, 3.3 kw genorator, lights, tv, mini motos, gas BBQ, fridge freezer to keep the beers cold, car stickered up etc etc Thursday daytime and friday daytime you will be allowed into the pits anyway to watch the pit crews working on the cars But if you have a spare pit pass going then we have plenty of cold beer on offer We will be on Bleu Nord as its pretty much opposite the grandstands and is only a 5 minute walk to the circuit. Techno Park is a bit further out as its over by Houx Annex, but its still a pretty good campsite - don't think its one of the crazyest campsites tho. Big piss up is an understatement, once you get there you will understand that tho :lol: 24 hours of racing 96 hours of drinking I will dig out some pictures form last year

Thats if you make it over there... I don't think you will survive an hour at Le Mans :lol: Maccy I have had a look at the Technopark campsite, it over by Karting Nord not Houx Annex as I previously said. So its still fairly close to the track, but not to the Village/ Start finish, also it doesn't seem to have showers!! Which is a bit rubbish as every other campsite I've stayed on has had a shower block! If you want anymore info or questions let me know

No worries mate, we will be on Bleu Nord which is opposite the main entrance gate just look for a beer mountain flag and England flag and a fridge full of cold ones There are still Bleu Nord passes available from www.1st-tickets.co.ukhere. I would avoid Technopark if its your first time as its not too newbie friendly and doesn't seem to have showers!! Ferries it up to you really where you want to sail from as pay, dover is really cheap but a bit of drive, whereas poole/ pompy are more expensive but about 600 miles less... But I would book sooner rather than later as it gets sold out quick! |
