Le Mans 2005!
For the past few years I have started a thread on the Monday after Le Mans inviting you all to discuss your plans for attending next year and for us to arrange suitable times and places for us to meet and share a beer.
If you are in any doubt about attending your first Le Mans then have a read of these few links for a little bit of an idea about why you really should go: 2004 - [here] 2003 - [here] Please keep this thread for discussing who is going, where you're staying, what your plans are for the race and that type of thing. This is also the place for asking advice from others about campsites, travel etc. If you wish to discuss other aspects of the race (entry list rumours, track changes, etc) then please start a new topic. Not sure whether or not I will be attending next year but I would really quite like to - especially if I can meet a few more of you lot! As I have said on previous posts it might be nice to arrange a meet up at Arnage during the night... everyone seems to go there at some point so how about it? |

I'm certainly going to try to make it to my first Le Mans in 2005.

There are some talks here at my home about going next year, I hope they are more than just teasing.

Advanced planning is already underway - group of about least ten going for definate next year (my 30th birthday year, and a friends birthday weekend).
There'll be two LDV campers, one Land Rover camper, one MGF, and another runaround maybe, and we'll be there from Wednesday. The only question is whether we go there to marshal, so get free trackside camping and guest tickets and have to be up during the night but be (reasonably) sensible, or sample the delights of Maison Blanche and partake in much alcohol and sillyness. A dilemma indeed... Al. |

I doubt I'll go next year - it's a big financial outlay coming from the US, and I can weather the withdrawal symptoms. I think I'll be looking at a 2-3 year Le Mans cycle. It was 7 years between the last time and this time, which was far too long.

Things keep getting in the way (mainly $$s and medical problems). I've been over 20 times, but the last time was 1987. The first time was 1949 (I was 1 1/2)

can't remember where I read it on one of their release and about going: I surely will (in my mind, I'm already there indeed) need to unpack/repack all the gear, though |
