John Hindhaugh just reported it on the LMES Spa broadcast. I'm now seriously thinking about that fortnight to be honest.
This could be awesome for the French tourist board. I'm now toying with the idea of a touring holiday with Le Mans as a pair of glorious bookends! |

Sounds like a good idea to me Tim. I think I will be booking Le Mans 2005 off work tomorrow.

This move is outstanding if DSC is correct. And there is no reason not to believe them.
This really opens the door for the ALMS to put together a great 2005 (and beyond) schedule. Mr. Panoz; "you are da man". |

OK guys, it's now official and published in local press.
PQ will take place on 5.June and the race on 18 & 19.June. I don't know why but maybe the Unofficial Tourist Board will have some more job this year... |

Well, that's my plan!
Don't worry, Fab - I've got plans involving Lille, Burgundy and Agincourt for June next year. |

What can I say? The last I heard, someone was trying to build a wind-turbine on it. Thought I'd better take a look before they did.
And to redress the balance a bit, I was also planning to see the Somme as well. Oh, and what's Gascony like to live in? I'm hatching a small plan.... |

Never let it be said that you guys don't hold things to your heart!
Now, assuming I'm still welcome in France next summer, where would you recommend for a visit during two weeks in la belle France? |

... and the south of the Sarthe is not too bad too !
A little cottage along the river, a river cruise on la Sarthe, a visit to some pottery maker (because you may not able to have a 2 week-stay without your wife), some beautiful trees to rest under,... |

Rats! Gilles, you've pointed out a significant error in my vacation planning.
I could have had 2 weeks in France were I not already committed to Florida in February (and no racing, at that!).  My parents would have absolutely died to join us, and I'd have been at The Race with my father and daughter. Oh, how sweet... Imagine if the ACO sticks with this schedule for years.
