Hi all, we enjoyed Le Mans so much last year we are goings again, booking the camp site answer speak.
We expect to catch the first train on Friday morning. This time we are staying until late sunday, we will get the first train train back to the uk on Monday morning.
Looking forward to decorating the car again.
Who else is making the trip - of course we will be in the Lotus.

Dave,
You are missing so much by not geting there Thursday. Loads of events around the town on Friday, Classic British Welcome, Pistonheads events, not to mention qualifying on Thursday night.

I will be going down First thing Thursday, back last thing Monday, then its just a couple of weeks till the Classic.

Paul, I did Sunday to Monday first time I went in 95, great week. Scrutineering Monday, both Qualy sessions, loads of drinking and cocking about time, fantastic.

The drivers parade in Le Mans is well worth going to, perhaps meet up in town after that?
