The Le Mans 24 Hours takes place 13/14 June - Mrs J and self are planning to attend :D Anyone interested in joining in - we usually camp off circuit in local Chateaus. The intention is to leave the UK on the 11th June which is the Thursday beforehand. If you have never done this before it's a must :D Who says aye?
 
could be.. have been invited to a friends in St Tropez the week before and was planning on driving.. :?

how easy/expensive is it to get tickets ?
 
I go every year and have been since 2001 :thumbsup: An awesome experience if you have never been.
 
Care to explain whats so goo about it?
Im genuinely Interested, I know about the race but Ive always wondered why so many people rave about going to watch it? :)
 
Well it starts with the Ferry Trip/Tunnel - which ever way you go 'over' during the run up week you'll find yourself amongst a shed load of Petrol Heads and their cars -. The last time we went the Captain said the combined value of the cars was worth more than the boat. We were parked alongsider Blower Bentleys an Enzo's :D etc

Therefater the blat down to Le Mans is something to be enjoyed - pulll over to a road side bar and watch a mighty convoy of stupendous machinery roll past you. Speed down though and you'll be pulled - Le 'Flick' abound and take no prisoners :evil: Take your pick as to where you stay - on Circuit you'll never sleep due to a combination of Race Noise and 60,000 Brits, or camp at one of the Chateaus, which is where most of the race teams base themselves.

Villages are awash with Brits and their Cars - you have to go yourself really to get the 'feel'. Oh - and there's the race of course, and the fairground, and Geordie Pete on Le Mans Radio, and the beer 8) , and .... did I mention the fanatstic cars. Oh... and a couple of years back our Camping Neighbour was Jamiroquai - turned up with with his mate in a Turbo Bentley and the smallest pup tent :rofl: Bummed several cups of tea off :rofl: Mrs J
 
could be tempted this year, haven't been for about 6 years, used to go every year for about 10 years. It's a bloody good weekend, won't get much camping gear in a Z4, but hey, I used to go by motorbike, so I can get more in than that ....How far away from the circuit do you camp?.
