Not sure if this is the right section, but its an international event/meet

Who's going?

 

I'll be there chap! Leaving monday 9th until sunday 15th!

where abouts are you staying or are you just going for the race weekend

 

Me and my Scooby will be there. Getting really excited looking 4ward to the road trip going the back way with a VX220 well if he can keep up that is (and keep waiting as I fill up)

11 years since i last went

are you all going in your cars

 

I'm going down to the Classic in July, does that count?

 

I'll be there!

I think we've got bum camping this year (outside the circuit by the airport - booo!!)

Going down on the 12th in the morning on the early ferry in time to catch Thursday qualifying.

I'll be in a silver classic with a SurreyScoobies sticker in the back window (it ain't subtle!!) - maybe see people there. If not hope all have a superb weekend!!!! (Lots of beer and motor racing - who could ask for more!!)

 

11 sleeps till we go will be staying in houx.this is the first year of not takin cars this year, have hired a 6 berth camper this year for a change. had pre le mans meet last night still had a bit of a head today at 3pm need to get some pratice in.well lookin forward to it.to every one thats goin have a great time.shall be in le mans town on friday for the parade great day out if you have never done it before,probably in fancy dress,what party. stiggy

 

The Classic in July too for me. Currently trying to get my Porsche Spyder replica rebuilt in time to take it, if not it's the Scoob. Will be peeved if it's not up and running by then as I have a "parade" lap session booked ( 2 laps of the 24 Hour circuit )

 

We'll be doing the parade laps too, though I'm taking my Merc SL not the scooby hopefully top down laps!

 

A hint for the "parade" laps. If you get out at the front of the group you will get stuck behind the pace car which does not go very quickly, if you hang back and go out at the back then it is a little more fun

 

Cool, i'll be just inside the walls opposite the airfield in maison blanche grey scoobie. Here's to the beer and Boisterousness on the strip outside on friday.

 

Cheers Stuart found that out last time, as I ended up near the back of the grid when we were let out. Had a play with one of the guys in the club I went with.

The guy is the Exige here filmed the whole 2 laps, he went past me before the end of the first straight not that I could go any quicker
(Excuse his porno music as he is foreign )
Le Mans Classic 2006

Went there last time with a 700kg Spyder and about 95bhp of Alfa Sud motor, hoping to go back with same car fitted with lightly modded 94 jdm WRX motor.

 

6 sleeps to go for me and the posse.looks like need to look at going to the classic as well,so can any one take there car around the circuit as that would be fantastic

cheers stiggy

 

For the LM Classic The "parade" laps as such seem to be released via clubs when they apply for tickets. Club I'm with have their own display section with the circuit. But not sure fully how it works. Can't just turn up wedge out some money and drive though.
As the tickets for the laps are sought after they maybe quite sticklerish on what they let out on the track. I.E old or in the spirit of the event so to speak. Not sure how the Exige got out there last time, that was last time

 

Just in case anyone needs a ticket for this.......for a £1.00...... I'm defo going next year......will buy my ticket lastminute.........

LE MANS 24 HOUR Houx Annexe Camping Permit/Ticket on eBay, also, Tickets, Tickets Travel (end time 10-Jun-08 13:48:55 BST)

[I]t was my tenth year this year the weather was very cold for LE MANS I have seen the the high 80,s in past years. .Still not enough WC,s but we are in france so we most go go down to there level.!!!!
