Having been to Le Mans on 4 occasions including this year with my son I was wondering if anyone fancies a group event next June? If you haven't been before trust me its a fantastic event and watching cars at night blasting around with flames spurting from the exhausts and break discs glowing orange is a truly awesome sight, Im not sure if this group has done this before so wanted to put the feelers out early doors to gauge interest.
I have always used Motor Racing International (MRI) as they provide a full drive package and are extremely organised and helpful. This year the package was as follows.
Depart on the Friday - 06:50 euro tunnel crossing from Folkstone to Calais
Blast down to Alencon.....get nicked for speeding.....happens every year to someone in our group and this yeas as we were in one car we kept up the tradition,,90 euro fine and on me way
3 nights B&B in the Ibis Hotel in Alencon (about 40ks from Lemans) There is also 2 Campanile hotels that they use but these were booked up. Ibis was tip top!
Friday night drive in to Le Mans centre for the drivers parade....lots of supercars on display and also all the drivers and scantily clad
Entrance to circuit - bar coded ticket so you can come and go as you please
Dedicated parking space in the Blanc car park which is les than 5 mins walk to either the main entrance or the Blanc entrance
Grandstand seats in La Gache which is in the start finish straight and opposite the pits. Great view and also see pit action etc
Excursion to Arnage corner which is one of the fastest corners on the circuit
Depart Hotel on the Monday (so Fri, Sat & Sun night in hotel)
Blast up to Calais and aiming not to get nicked again. Its the journey down that all the cops are mincing around waiting for the brits to be on a high speed sortie
Depart at 18:30 on Euro Tunnel back to Folkestone
Total cost PP is dependent on how many in car and for my son & I it was £1148 all in.
So who fancies it? I am going to call MRI tomorrow to see if they have estimates of cost which at this stage is unlikely but if they do I will post within this thread
No commitment to come but just want to gauge numbers as when I went in my FocusRS back in 2003 & 2004 we had 16 cars and got a tidy group discount,
