never been ......... then GO ............ get your tickets and car park pass pre-booked and do the Le Mans experience  ....... if you can make a full weeek of it go early and see the scrutineering in town centre and the practice also the Friday "open day" is excellent walkabout in the pits If you're camping I wouldn't recommend staying at the circuit anymore, find somewhere a short drive away - I last camped at Le Lude, also rented a big gite at St Calais (altho there was 24 of us) but you need to book early the closer you are to the circuit. and last time I went in 2004 was guests of friends who were competing in the support race - so had access all area passes (wow ..... the Audi garage and set-up was special)  |

Last Sunday, shopping with Lady S, I was standing patiently outside Kendal Milne when a Ford GT40 growled past.
In full Gulf colours and on a genuine 1972 L plate. Driven by a guy of my age (advanced) it returned a few minutes later and it rumbled away.
Last time I saw one running in anger was 1968 Le Mans. Only one finished but it finished first.
ps this is the first one I have seen on the road, wish I could have got its history.
Genuine racer or a later build?

They are all French but Mickael speaks good english, Gael types good enough to understand english(never met him in person so no idea how well he speaks), Christian does not. They all talk very fast so I have no idea what is being said in french when they talk french. I have to wonder if my boyfriend has invited me to a lads week end lol. I also have no idea if I like racing after all a car is the thing to get from A to B is it not............. |

altho I reckon a few beers a baguette and 25 hour eurosport on TV and Radio Le Mans on laptop will be just right 
lol
circuit sites are full of P*** heads and thieves 
and the washroom / toilet facilities are some of the worst I've smelt / seen
