I know the ACO have issued an initial timetable on their website, but I can't find anything downloadable yet - has anyone found a link?

Not sure about shops Michel, but I live quite close to the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu in the New Forest which has some great cars on display.

Maybe a trip to Brooklands, 35 minutes by train from Waterloo. Plenty of motor racing and aviation material to see plus the banking. Then nip next door to Mercedes-Benz World.

Just a thought....

Well if you arrive by boat or tunnel chances are you will see brands hatch as it is next to the m20 on the way to london. Not much there to see if no racing but easy drop off the m20 and visit it.

You can still walk/see (most of) 'London's Own Circuit' (Crystal Palace) in South London. Do your research online before going (history, circuit maps, race videos, entry lists etc.) and you'll find it an extraordinary place to visit and spend a couple of hours walking what remains of the track, and identifying landmarks you've seen in photos and videos of the circuit. Nothing is signposted, if you didn't know it was once a motor racing circuit, you almost certainly wouldn't realise. You are your own tour guide, and the more research you do before visiting, the more you will get out of your visit.

A few years ago we sorted a 10/10ths walk around the track as a form of catch up in the long gap between Le Mans and Silverstone. Happy to see if there's enthusiasm for revisiting it.
Suffice to say we didn't trouble Mike Hailwood's fastest lap.

It's great after all these years that pretty much all the old track at the Palace is still there, just as much as tracks like Silverstone and Le Mans are still in use and rightly so. Many great memories from racing past there. Motorsport is unlikely to return there, but that's no bad thing

I've had an idea - remove the mulsanne chicanes, enter two stock cars in the race as rolling chicanes. Way more branding opportunity.

My first reaction was awesome, second reaction was why, and third reaction how will the car be different to fit in Garage 56?

Turns out maybe some hybrid will be added. I suppose they would need headlights as well.

Just have to hope they are better put together than the Camaros in the 80s, they really did look like they were held together with baler wire. Noise was awesome though :-)

Perhaps the innovative tech for Garage 56 recognition will be a new technology that replaces headlights completetly?

Interesting-I doubt the ACO isn't going to accept an entry under a GM banner, that is also tied to Nascar.

The Hagan cars, Frings-built chassis, some Nascar drivers in the seats, including Cale Yarborough (!), Dick Brooks and Hershel McGriff, Gene Felton. Plastic bodywork on tube chassis with a thundering American V-8, as was an IMSA formula at the time. Probably some bailing wire when needed.

They did BOOM the place, but had issues.

I think Hendrick, and no doubt a bunch of financial and technical support from GM can come up with something that can BOOM the French countryside for the race length, and slot in with the other cars on the grid.
