wkk · 31 May 2011, 20:46 (Ref:2889007)

Hi all,

a day earlier than announced - but I think no one will mind.

The Guide can be downloaded at http://www.clubarnage.com/caguide/

Have fun, enjoy the race and have a good time there

Werner
Editor Club Arnage

Thanks Werner, will have a good look at tomorrow, always a first class read

**Aysedasi** · 31 May 2011, 21:07 (Ref:2889022)

I've been waiting for it - thanks Werner!

As a message to the Le Mans newbies this year - this is, essentially, your ultimate FAQ - literally all you need to know.

Andy77 · 1 Jun 2011, 09:55 (Ref:2889280)

Thanks a lot Werner and Club Arnage.
I am printing it right now. The sixth in a row. The six ring binders get their own shelve now

Somehow, Le Mans build up wouldn't feel right without the CA Guide

Had a good look today and this years is really good, however they are a little to complimentary about are campsite, i prefered the previous one it kept people away so that it remained the preserve of those that always camped there.

**Aysedasi** · 1 Jun 2011, 18:43 (Ref:2889539)

Surely most of those who camp there stay there all year, only coming out of hibernation in a few days time.......

GT6 · 1 Jun 2011, 19:07 (Ref:2889551)

that does seem to make sense as when we arrive on wednesday there are most of the regulars all ready set up

Compared to 20 years ago the sites are luxury, working hot showers and sit down bogs, what more could you ask for?

In a couple of years time there will be masseurs and a little mall of shops!

Personally, I'd prefer masseuses

Talking of guides, anyone read this year's Autosport Le Mans Leaflet.... sorry, Guide......?

ujoint · 4 Jun 2011, 16:46 (Ref:2891106)

Aysedasi. Looks like your favorite race is fast upon you. 24 Heures is my 2nd favorite racing venue of the year, only behind Indy500. If I still lived in Europe it probably would be first. I watch or listen to the complete 24 Hours and my official post for the race will be right here on 10-10ths and it's IRC. I know the excitement and wish I could be there with you all.

**Aysedasi** · 4 Jun 2011, 17:27 (Ref:2891127)

Well, it's good to have you here mate (although you need to finish your competition entry properly.....

)

just got it nice article on the Mazda and some good features on the main cars, also a nice size to slip into pockets

**FIRE** · 4 Jun 2011, 17:53 (Ref:2891146)

Thank you

I'd still prefer it as it was produced in the 80s/90s

**PascaLM** · 5 Jun 2011, 09:52 (Ref:2891382)

Thank you.

Although I loved the guide very much, for example it led me to the Saint Saturnin meeting which was very nice, I noticed a few mistakes in it.
In the entry overview there is stated that the Corvettes had a 7 litre engine, and the BMW is listed as having a 6 cylinder. The 'Vettes had their capacity cut to max. 5.5 litres and the Beemer had a V8. Otherwise an excellent piece of work, which I will happily download and put a donation down for next year, but these are avoidable mistakes.

Cheers,

Vincent

I think you are nit-picking when the whole thing is done entirely voluntarily.

Nit-picking? Maybe, but why not make a good piece of work even better?

Why criticise a couple of tiny details in 154 pages of free and invaluable work that has taken hundreds of hours of voluntary work to produce - have some respect for those that have put the effort in.

Probably avoidable when you've got a team of researchers and proof readers. Probably less avoidable when it's a piece of work put together voluntarily by normal people with other real jobs and lives to live!

If you're good at the technical details then I imagine you'd be welcomed with opened arms by the editorial team who usually have to twist arms to get people to update sections of the guide.

Simmi · 16 Jun 2011, 21:35 (Ref:2900579)

In terms of accuracy it certainly puts the Le Mans annuals to shame. But then again they aren't proof read.

The guide is put together during spare time and is away's going to have a few niggles. This years guide was finished very late.

If you would like to get involved and help make it even better the guide is done via a wiki. The core material is there but any member of the Club Arnage forum can add details.

**Aysedasi** · 17 Jun 2011, 07:56 (Ref:2900768)

So there you are vincegail, an opportunity for you!
