Le Mans 2016

[R33]

I do go home on Monday though, I enjoy the chilled Sunday night and the lack of drinking restrictions on Sunday

[TomRS]

I'll be there this year

Aye, ferry back Monday evening.

So who's going and when then?

I'm on the Friday morning tunnel at 8.50am and staying in the Pistonheads Bleu Nord private camp site. Can't wait!

Last year was the first and last time I'll be in Blu Nord! Back in Tertre Rouge this year.

Eurotunnel dawn Tuesday, home Monday..... immigrants depending

Were you in the main BN site? What didn't do it for you? I've only ever done BN once then PH BN since so I don't know any better.

I'm gutted I cant go this year.

[R33]

In a months time they will be racing, can't wait! (just sharing my excitement)

Disadvantages: Complete lack of security. Miles from tram stops into LM. Nowhere near enough toilets / showers. Having to walk through other peoples camps to get to toilets / showers. Completely open exposed site - was very windy trying to pitch tent last year arriving early in the week on the Tuesday! Site completely covered with glass. Constant shower of fireworks landing on our cars, was like camping in Beirut.

Advantages: Er, quite close to our traditional T34 grandstands?

I bought decals for my RS6 which now has a new owner and I'm not sure the decals will work on a family Q5. What do you think? It's a nice Q5 an all but it's no RS6

[HYFR]

I'm there a week on Sunday ...

[doodlebug]

That's a tad early!!

[HYFR]

only a pit stop en route to the Pyrenees !!

Haha it's like a shopping list of all the great things about Le Mans Love the Beirut camping comment, it does get a bit like this sometimes. I was shouting at some guys last year who were letting off huge fireworks on Parking Bleu that were drifting onto our tents, they ignored me till some of my mates lifted the fence and I wriggled under and took off after them. They ran for it quite quickly then

Sounds like they need to go on my RS6 instead, they really wouldn't look right on a Q5

Where are you located? PM me. £40 plus postage and they're yours. I have side stripes plus middle bonnet stripes with a centre Le Mans bonnet sticker plus removal fluid. Cost me around 70-80 pounds.

I'm in Marlow Bucks (plus work in London). Any pics you can send me possibly?

Not even sure I'm taking the RS now due to the fuel supply issues in France at the moment:

I'm going to stay close to how it progresses and if it's still going on near Le Mans then we'll go in the A6 Bi-Turbo diesel instead and take a couple of jerry cans with us so we have no reliance on buying any fuel in France.
