Hi, and welcome to the Forum!
First port of call is Peter Todd at the MSA, for a form to enable you to marshal at Le Mans. You'll need to return it quickly as cut-off point is approaching quickly. Steve Last edited by Steve Tarrant; 8 Feb 2005 at 13:45. |

regrettably, I won't be there this year! Unfortunately I will instead be in Oxford Hospital having operations on my remaining leg to remove infections and infected skin, etc. Could lead to losing the limb completely, but obviously I don't want to go there!!!!!! Steve |

Many thanks for your quick reply.
Do you know if you need so many marshalling days for this event? |

Not that I'm aware of, but I believe novices aren't accepted for obvious reasons.

Whereas they don't take novices, as you say, for obvious reasons, I would say go for it! If you are on your own, come on Post 70 with us Brits, plus a few septics and Canadians. Good camping, goodish post, with easy access to the supermarket and bakers. I have,t had any paperwork from the ACO yet, wont be long though...

Next stop should be: http://www.marshalspost.com/circuit/53.html. The map is slightly out of date but good enough for a first time reference. Right click on the map, select "copy" and paste it on your desktop so that you can print it out. Next stop should be: http://www.marshalspost.com/articles/ where you will find a series of articles I (thebear) wrote about my adventures in '99, '00, '01 & '02. They are listed in reverse order so scroll down to "Le Mans, where it's at" and then read `upwards'. You could also visit my pix in the `galleries'. My wife has become a "Francophobe" and as a result I have been `barred' from subsquent visits to Le Mans. Send me a Private Message if more detail is needed. |
