An entry on it would be fine

A group went from here last year so maybe if it comes off again a bit of a meet could be on the cards

Yep im going. Third year in a row. Was very very hot last year.

Camping about 3/4 mile away from the circuit, with mini buses laid on throughout the race to take us and pic us up. night racing is soooo much better than the day time. Shorts and t-shirt at 3 a.m. lol

The drive from Calais to Le Mans is savage. Cant wait.

Going on Thursday before the race

It is a very good idea to take the cossie mate.

yep just a bit paranoid about leaving it while watching the racing...............or can you park up on track where you camp etc and watch it all from there?

p.s i know there will be plenty of other machinary worth nicking before a ford sierra but i never really leave the car

We leave ours at the campsite where the owner never leaves. So bar him and his family getting beaten up our cars should be safe.

You wont really find anywhere near the circuit to park tbh. Lots of bikes park up outside but then they are easy to squeeze in tight spaces.

We get 24hr mini buses that take us to and from the circuit
