Thinking about it (if I can get a pass out from the missus). Weren't German Marques organising a trip also?

I've been the last 3 yrs running. Brilliant time. Camped at Beausejour which was fine. Travel down early Thursday, and come back either late Sunday or during Monday.

Have decided not to go this year, as I'm doing The Ring at Easter and The Ring and Spa in October.

You'll love it...

I'm going again on the Wednesday and staying at Beausejour (Porsche Curves) and come back Monday.

Luckily I'm taking clients (again) so it's all expensed

The Pistonheads trip is supposed to be really well run.

6th year, first with the 6 though.

Heading over early Friday morning (chunnel). Would be good to meet up with others for the run down.

Lucky you

Going down on Friday and camping at Houx Annexxe

We will be there, staying off site again this year as fed up with the crap facilities.

Would be good to meet up and have some beers?

Just got tickets, will be staying at Maison Blanche http://www.racetours.co.uk/Le%20Mans%20 ... sonBlanche

Will be heading over on the Thursday 10th June (to watch the practice laps) and returning on 13th Sunday night.

Im really looking forward to this now.

Ready to race

Im not going this year but been 2 years in a row and loved every minute.
Get your car stickered up for a bit of fun and enjoy.

Nice one. Yep the car will be stickered up, still getting them sent through, im not doing nothing mental, as wont have the time.

@Tomson where will you be staying?

Sonny - if you plan on watching practice laps you'll need to get there earlier than you think. I think last year they finished at about 10pm Thursday?

OK, are they doing practise laps on the Friday?

Either way not really bothered if I miss it or not, just going to start the drinking early.

Going over this year for a mates stag doo! Hiring a camper van so should be a good laugh!

I would imagine that would be a right laugh, when you heading over?

Most of us are self employed so heading over Friday morning and coming back Monday morning.

We did the Renham 24hr race for my stag do nearly 2 years ago now and it was incredible! The road trip was almost as good as the race. 7 Berth long wheel base transit, flat out at 95 in the outside lane of the Autobahn, 6 lads on board, full of beer from Calais playing xbox in the back!
