When i started going to le mans back in the eighties, there were dozens of stalls, particularly under the stands opposite the pits, that sold model cars both racing and road cars, the numbers of those has been dropping over the years and very few left now/

This is true but slightly ambiguous. Grandstand tickets were available as a bundle with general admission, plus they come on one ticket (at least they do for etickets) so yes, both are ‘included’, but you still have to pay for both items.

Really sad to be missing this one (for various reasons) again, which is why I've been a bit quiet.
Hope everyone has a great time. Saving myself for '23, which is set to be my stag do. |

So, with commiserations and congratulations in equal measure to G4J, I'm signing off here as I'll be off at about 6 am for the drive to Pompey.
For all those travelling over, I hope you have safe journeys and a fantastic event. For those watching from home (now that I know the feeling after the last two years!), I hope you can enjoy it too and perhaps make plans for 2023. See (some of) you guys later! |

Sooo, looking fwd to seeing this after what feels like far too long. Longest gap at the race since I last pulled a 'sickie', can't believe this time next week I will be watching the cars on track.

I got my XJS back last night, took it out for a run today and this afternoon loaded the camping gear. So ready to go.

Yep. We're in our Le Mans home. Arrived about 6 pm after queuing for an hour and twenty minutes to get through border control at Caen...

Are the campsites really open from this morning? If so, might consider trying to go for the whole week next year if the arrangements stay the same.
