Le Mans 2003

[tobyone]

does anyone have any feed back from there weekend/week spent at Le mans

let me know as it was my first time, ive spoken to various people and the comments range from great through to very poor in relation to the police, security, yobbish brits on the beer, poor spectating areas etc etc

let me know your opinions

mine: well as it was my first time it was everything that i expected, good racing, especially at night, the Mulsanne straight at 3am in the forest next to the armco barrier was just awesome

the food was ok ish on circuit, if chips and bagettes were what you call food? and the beer was cold

the camping was packed, the bikers with their silencers off and fireworks and loud music were just about coped with (ear plugs a must have)

the soaking of open topped sportscars (we were one) on the trip back up the N138 to the ports was funny once but totally intimidating after the 4th or 5th time, and they sounded as though they were english in a few cases!!!!

if i go again it'll be via a saloon not an open topped sports car and in a hotel rather than the camp sites

from other peoples comments the thrill of Le Mans has been diminished and is being erroded away by the yobbish elements
who relish the beer more than the event of sportscar racing

thats a shame as the racing and associated events were superb
