anyone going off here this year?

I'll be travelling down in the MK again or depending on the weather.

Yep, me, swmbo, my brother and his wife, and 2 guys from work are heading down in a couple of tintops, camping at Karting Nord... We're all Le Mans virgins, can't wait!

Well, for all Le Mans virgins I hope you've been reading about my exploits at last years Le Mans currently being serialised in Kitcar magazine - you might find a few useful pointers!


vinny1275 - 12/5/10 at 08:44 AM

not been getting any magazines for the past 6 months or so, swmbo was on sick pay for a couple of months, so things like that were the first to go.... joined beermountain tho, so I've got a bit of an idea what we're letting ourselves in for....

Yup, we'll all be down there. See this thread:

We're staying right next door at Houx. Drop me a u2u if you want to swap mobile numbers - you're welcome to pop in for a beer.

I'm going with a bunch of mates and strangers organised by mates, about 28 in total. I'm going down in the VW rather than the kit sad to say.

I have a spare ticket at the mo if anyone is interested, it is as a passenger and includes:-

Ferry
Entry
Camping
All food

Cost is about £250 I think plus some help with fuel for my vehicle. We should have an on line hookup to track the racing and watch from the camp site which is on the wire side of the track apparently 15meters length in total.

This is advertised elsewhere but if you are interested U2U me.
