Anyone going to Le Mans this year....?

I'm off on Thursday and will be on the Portsmouth to Le Havre mid-day ferry. This is an annual event but my 1st time in the Striker ! (support vehicle is an Audi S5)

Pif, A few of things to take a look at -

1) Go to the St Saturnin on Friday, its a small village a couple of miles north of Le Mans, get there mid-morning, loads of nice motors to look at

2) Friday afternoon about 100+ from the P/head forum are getting together at Mulsanne

3) Friday evening/night in Le mans town is crazy, it all kicks off with the drivers parade but unless you get there early dont expect to see much of the parade.

4) Saturday evening get yourself to Arnage, another small village but this time south of Le Mans, lots of cool cars cruise up and down the main street.

5) Whatever you do you will enjoy, it all begins once you get to the port and France, you will see some incredible motors and most of them from the UK !

Have fun mate but watch out for the French cops... us brits are easy pickings for speeding fines.

PS - Check out the Pistonhead - Le Mans forum, loads going on.

This will be the first year for 6 years that I have not attended, I am totally gutted.

I hope you all have a great time and I will be there next year, hopefully in the MNR

We will be there Wed evening. Driving from St Malo to the Expo Campsite. Our plan is to spend the Fri morning at St Satunin and then a quick blat down the motorway (avoid the traffic aroung Le Mans) down to Mulsanne for the pistonheads meet(and Gulf photoshoot)
Hope to see you guys there.
