Le Mans 24 Hours, 11th & 12th June 2011
- Thread starter Siftah
- Start date
I was finally spotted! And had to go to France to do it! Those beer label door stacks went down a storm, must've seen about 100 people posing for photo's with them.
We camped just by where I was parked - we had a good spot but it was pretty noisy on Saturday night due to closeness to track. Saw a silver MR on Monday morning waiting for the 9.43 Eurotunnel - wasn't you by any chance?
Here's where I abandoned the Z for the weekend:

I must say - I have been totally underwhelmed by the amount of photos we have seen on this subject.
Considering all the chat that went on before the event - there's been practically nothing since. :thumbsdown:
Come on guys and girls, let's hear how you got on and let's see some photos.

Charm and good luck on my part - Karma for John & Lise.
Made our week-end - 4 pits down from the podium right above the works Peugeots & the Oreca.
Here's the vid of the rolling start - one of the few shots with all 3 audi's and 2 aston LMP1's :roll:
Not tried linking from photobucket before, so might redirect rather than playing 'in situ'. Click photo to get it rolling...
Listen out for the vette's - a memorable noise from Le Mans 2011!
Happy Now?!

From what I gather the "Le Man" experience is whatever you want it to be - some go sit and watch every lap of the race, other's barely notice the race is on and would rather walk around looking at other people's motors. My (first) experience was a mix of both, but the bit that sticks out is actually the drive to and from the race, and whilst I'd love to share my pics of this they aren't really up to much (mainly because I was concentrating on driving 
).
Here's a few anyway...

He couldn't keep up:
Nor could he:
Finally let him past:
Shopping, might have overdone the pain-au-chocolat:
Trying to be arty, hard on a camera phone:
Some great cars knocking around:
And some odd ones:
The winning Ferrari in the classics race:
An obligatory BMW:
And a diesel!!!!:

I saw your Z too! Have to say I loved those stickers :lol:
Well this was my first Le Mans experience and I have to say that I loved it!
Here's a few taster pictures of mine although I don't have much time to go into detail:
Yes, this is me en route to Le Mans driving an M ROADSTER instead of my coupe!!
As much as I loved it, it didn't sway me away from my sexual sardine tin...
Our home for 5 days!

The race from the ferries wheel at about 2am. This was awesome.
