I remember so many funny moments...
One of them was when we took a neighbouring brit(we've been best friends since) for our night excursion round the track 'cause all his mates had allready gone to sleep. We'd visited all of the good places and when we drove back to our camp,he fel asleep solidly. When we arrived,my girl and me decided not to wake him and left the doors to our car unlocked. Next day we spoke,he told us he'd woken up,got out of the car and had just started walking(we camped at Bleu nord) while 10 yards behind him lay his camp! Only two hours later he managed to find his tent.... The illegal dragraces at the strip in Bleu nord were really good fun too,especially since I used to be the starter on the oildrum for three years. Great fun,loads of silly,fast and not too sober races. Good thing they stopped it though. Ofcourse it got to popular and thus dangerous... |

Yeh, sure, perhaps the village and the fair aren't the same anymore, but the campsites never lose their majic. Le Mans is still Le Mans, and it always will be. |

I'd also like to ask at this point what the difference is between the bottom-of-the-range Merquez from Super U and a twig from the Le Mans pine trees.
I once dropped mine at the campsite next to a pine tree - it was gone forever........... I'll never forget that day. |

We used to have a really nice spot to retire too until darkness fell which was on the inside of the hill down from the Dunlop bridge at the start of the esses. It was a grass bank facing the sun and once it had cooled down, was a fantastic place to relax before heading into the fun fair. Sadly I don't think there are any grass banks left now to chill out on during the race. The Jamiroquai concert was one of the better Saturday night gigs, smuggling a crate of beer into there was a bit of a mission though, the heavies on the door were very insistant that it wasn't coming in. It took quite a diversion for the mission to succeed . So to Badger's story........... |

Has anyone ever been brave enough to use any of the 'squat' style toilets?
I can imagine there's plenty of opportunity for disgrace in their usage. |

Not quite the squats but if you take the time to read the Club-Arnage Guide you'll find a section at the back with just those types of anecdotes. I was crying with laughter last year

At the risk of allowing this thread to degenerate further, when you really need a loo, you'll use anything - believe me!

I remember a story about an Australian racing motorcyclist in Malaysia who suddenly needed to 'go' just before the race.
He rushed to the toilets to find that was the only cubicle available. Unfortunately he didn't pull his leathers down far enough for this unorthedox position, and was shocked to discover what he thought he'd got rid of was actually now mostly inside the collar of his race suit when he pulled it back up! (NASTY!) |

I believe he did start the race, yes. maybe it spurned him on, trying to go as fast as he could to get away from that horrible smell behind him! (A similar approach to the carrot on a stick to encourage your donkey.)
