Welcome to the forum Mike
If this will be your first time at the sarthe then, I understand that everything will seem confusing, however if you need any help or advice as to where to go and what to do the people on this forum will always be willing to help. What day do you arrive? |

Do your best Mike - it'd be great to have the largest gathering ever!

I do believe 2009 was the biggest, but that was my first year at Le Mans so I'll leave it over to the veterans to confirm...

Numbers are tricky as recollections and photos don't always tell the full picture. In my 2009 story on my website, I refer to 24 people (including Pascal and Fab's offspring!), but the chances are that others may have been there but missed the team photos and my memory.... I recorded 15 names in 2008 and there was a good turnout in 2007, but I didn't record all the names although the one disaster photo (some will recall what I mean!), shows around about 19 people, although a couple may just have been hangers-on! Whatever the numbers, I have no doubt that if we pull out all the stops, we can easily get 30+ there this year!

Hell, we had 30-odd in the tent at the back of the bar at Snetterton way back in 1999... which must have been about two thirds of the entire forum membership. If we get less than 50 people this year I will be disappointed!
PS The first official 10 Tenths Le Mans meeting was in 2001 when Danielsun, Invader, Sarah, Liz, TimD and I met up... and, my god, that seems an absolute age ago now. I was only 26 for crying out loud: I still had hair and didn't need a supply of Red Bull to keep me awake! |

A bit like the others joining me there in 2001 Brings a tear to my eye when I think back to the squalour of the old village. Wasn't it great back then!!

I know the new village is soulless, but it does have very decent toilets!

And that's the be-all and end-all of the new Village - it almost hurts to call it that.

I do not dislike the new village but the old rambling selection of huts and stalls was so much more interesting, but at least they keep the tree

Dani said Undoz was no longer going to Le Mans.
