Besides Flakey and me who else will be watching Le Mans all weeken

Me too I'm watching the practice. Nasty one for Audi. Let's hope The driver is ok.

It's one race I wold love to go to. Your so lucky going next year.


I was there one year race weekend for a wedding and couldn't get to the race. Could hear the cars but not see them.

 

It'll be my 10th trip next year, you've got to get yourself there there's nothing quite like it.
Get there on the Wednesday and stay till Monday, the atmosphere builds from whichever Chanel port you travel from and just gets better all the way, lovely drive through France and fantastic event.
Get out to Mulsane and Arnage at night for maximum experience, it's nothing like watching 12 Grand Prix back to back there's so much more to it.
You can get all round the pits before and after as well,
Took my son 10 tears ago when he was 10, had a wander round the pits late on the Sunday eve after the race and bumped into Tom Christiensen who was more than happy to have his pic taken with Alex, just a shame I'm not a great photographer

 

Love racing but never been to Le Mans...looks spectacular!

what happened to audis?

 

I'm going

 

Never been myself but I remember my dad going every year when I was ickle. He used to bring loads of magazines and stickers back for me, it was the highlight of my year.
He was there when the 3 benson and hedges cars came in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Can't remember the make (maybe lotus?) but I do remember dad bought it on VHS and made us watch it over and over and over. 88 if remember correct?

 

No1 car had massive crash

Silk Cut Jaguars 1988
1st, 3rd & 4th,
The winning Jag was on the same lap as the 2nd place Porsche after 24hrs racing which by LeMans standard is incredibly close,
I'll get me anorak

 

That raced last year at the silver stone classic. Won by miles if I remember right.

 

Ha! I watched it that many times I still can't get it right.
I have another story about my dad and Le Mans but I won't get into that.

 

We did the Wec 6 hr off silverstone this year.

So laid back with the pits. Even though I don't think we should have been in there.



And met the great man himself. That's my son with him not me ;-)

 

I'll watch what I can on the various computers & if I can find a link to a live feed even better.

 

Amazing that Duval only had a couple of grazes after that crash

 

And they reckon it will be rebuilt for quali tonight.

There was saveral red flag accidents yesterday.

Let's hope today is better, it's a long way to go to not even make the race.

 

i went in the bus with three mates from nz and had a blast,

cant watch it this weekend as in china and the Govt has the internet locked down :-(

 

ive been twice
a great atmosphere with thousands of brits,
this year will be good being a world cup year the town will be full of international fans,

 

As I'll be dropping Mrs TW at the airport early Saturday I might get to watch more than if she was here.

 

Why don't you live closer to Le Sarthe? Then we could have a camping weekend at yours

 

That's up that north where its cold.

 

Miserable git

 

Often.
