Le Mans 2013
Hi Guys,
Been a few people posting about Le Mans, Any one going? We head off on Wednesday Night and sail on the 1st boat out of Dover on Thursday at 7am! :thumb: playing with the super cars on the way down should be fun! (Although the French police have killed most of the atmosphere on the drive down but should still be some nice cars to watch as they speed past) |
I went in 2005 & 06, brilliant time.
Is there any Eurosport coverage this year? |
Already here - have been for the last 12 years, lol. Already lots of nice cars to see in the area, the practice sessions killed one of the Audi's.
The weather is supposed to be good for the weekend, the Friday Pilot's Parade and Great British Welcome at St. Sat. Safe journey over to all coming ;) |
I go every year, we are on the chunnel Wednesday morning :thumb:
|
I'll be heading out there with a few friends. But we are leaving Thursday morning

The bridge in Rouen is still closed for repairs & will be for some time by all accounts so its worth keeping an eye on this thread on Pistonheads for an alternative route: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/t...e%2DMans+Rouen Apparently this is the best route to take and the tolls are ridiculously cheap compared to the route we usually take.... https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr...ia=3,4&t=m&z=7 |
Yep that's the route I am going to try,
No stickers for me but it does stand out a little, will keep an eye out for you! |

Yea, anything over 30kmph over the limit and you can kiss goodbye to your car and thousands in euros! Up to 30 over is not as bad but will still take a massive chunk out of your beer money!! Convoying is far more entertaining than speeding down, a lot cheaper too!! lol
|
I shall be there but the Bugeye is staying at home this year! Taking a DB7 vantage instead so the drive will probably be slightly more relaxed!!!
The fines are ridiculous and so I've given up speeding out there! Had a gun (not a speed one) pointed at me last time by a chap hiding in a phone box with a laser! The first question I was asked was: "how much money do you have on you!" I'll be cruzing this year! |
|
Looks good! Maybe next year I will have to to get done
Off to Dover tomorrow running in new brakes so will be going slow and breaking a lot! |
Spotted your car, looked great! Went to the Friday service early in the day, saw one Scooby but didn’t speak to the owner. |
