Well meeting up with a few of the le mans regulars today in London, Vince over for his annual snooker fest so usual mini meet in London, will be god to see some for the first time in a few years.

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?

**Aysedasi** · 24 Feb 2022, 19:37 (Ref:4100134)

Yep. I guess a full timetable will be issued (as usual) in due course.

S griffin · 25 Feb 2022, 20:06 (Ref:4100288)

Great for you guys the city scrutineering has returned. The timetable is normally released around this time

Hi folks,
i probably will a journey to London in April, so what do you recommend about automobilia, shops about racing, miniatures... ?

I thought about Aston Martin Heritage Trust, but a bit far...

**Aysedasi** · 13 Mar 2022, 14:28 (Ref:4102312)

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....

Coach Ep · 13 Mar 2022, 15:14 (Ref:4102321)

Brands isn't that far away either...

GT6 · 13 Mar 2022, 16:42 (Ref:4102330)

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.

**Bentley03** · 13 Mar 2022, 18:07 (Ref:4102335)

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.

Michel Vaillant · 13 Mar 2022, 18:13 (Ref:4102336)

Ok guys, thanks for reply

One of these days I must do that myself......

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.

S griffin · 14 Mar 2022, 16:27 (Ref:4102452)

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

GT6 · 16 Mar 2022, 16:02 (Ref:4102795)

For anyone sitting at home bored eurosprt2 now showing le mans 2021

**Aysedasi** · 16 Mar 2022, 16:05 (Ref:4102796)

I've got the unopened Blu-Ray sitting in front of me as I type this.....

Ohh wow wow wowwwww. This is amazing news! 2023 just got even better.

seanyb505 · 17 Mar 2022, 17:11 (Ref:4102930)

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.

claude2cv · 17 Mar 2022, 17:27 (Ref:4102933)

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.
