Is anybody else planning a trip down this year?
It looks like Mr T might have a decent shout. Impressive early season wins have given them great momentum and they showed well in the pre race test session http://m.crash.net/le-mans/news/205126/ ... sults.html
Blistering pace from all the P1 entries, pretty close to the alleged ACO reg change required 3:20 limit

There are a few of us heading down that I know of
Myself and TrackToy for the triple stint
Meurz and mushroom_cloud for a double stint
Possible single stint for Diceman
Lewis_185 and datun_destroyer for a 10 lap sprint to the line

Lewis, I'll try and add some more info here tomorrow now I have remembered

Possible single stint??! Train is booked for Wednesday so keep the beer warm for me.

With Lewis planning on leaving before the end of the race he is short-stinting to a DNF

Shouldn't that be the Gamay (aka le barrel plastique)?

Ah the gammy seepage. Can't say I'll miss that.

I expect regular text updates on the race from those going!

We expect regular updates from people with TV and internet who can follow events and have a clue who's in the lead

Its still a bit premature but the weather looks hopeful so far

I sadly will have no TV and v limited internet!

Bleep Bleep.
French rail strike means my train has been cancelled for Wednesday.

Trying to figure out alternative method.

Doh! Fly and coach. Drive. Try pistonheads for a lift.

Lewis & John are heading down friday I think with a car each if all else fails.

hopefully sorted by train going alternative route. High heels and wig packed in case I need to hitch.

Will post up some pics soon, but LM14 was very hot and packed with action.
Almost had my bike stolen, my colleague burnt my tent down and the (TTE livery) Starlet WRC got some thumbs up from these OGs on the way home:



[borat]great success![/borat]

Well I stood outside the toilet door for 10 minutes this morning, realised there was no paper, went and got some, waited another 15 minutes and finally did my dirty business. So I'm still living the Maison Blanche dream. Also forgot I turned the boiler off so I even had an authentic shower

Tonight I intend to spend 30 minutes lighting the cooker so I can burn dinner to a crisp and then I'll hook the stereo to a timer so I can unexpectedly enjoy full volume listening at 3am

It'll be a week til I'm "normal" again. Fingers crossed next year works out

A few pics from the 2,500 I took during the warmest and sunniest Le Mans in over seven years

Winning Audi R18




Second placed Audi R18




Third placed Toyota TS040. Strong drive to a podium following an aquaplaning and barrier crunching incident which put out the No.3 Audi.




Fourth placed privateer run Oreca/Rebellion R1 Toyota. Great result given that its only the second race for this new car. I love the red and white colour scheme. Proper Toyota and very reminiscent of the 1998 Toyota GT-One TS020




Winning Danish crewed GTE AM Aston Martin Vantage was a popular result given the sad fatal crash of the No.95 Aston of Alan Simonsen last year
