What's the gut feeling for the dates next year, 8/9, 15/16 or even 22/23 June?

Pretty certain 15/16th. Makes sense really, but don't plan/book anything until it is official in Nov/Dec.

I'm hoping I don't spend fathers day away from the kids again next year!

Don't care what weekend it is, but I hated being away from the kids!

Should have done what I did...my son was born on Father's Day so didn't have any problems with the two of us going to LM. Now he has sons it's a problem for all of us!

I'd put money on 15th and 16th.

Early gamble at work, leave application going in now to cover it. Can always change it nearer if I need to.

Bigger problem - the other half's birthday is on the 10th!

And she's barely speaking to me at the moment, after Le Mans....Goodwood.... and the F1!

Remember the race doesn't really 'exist' next year until the application to run it has been approved by the region as they own the roads etc where most of it is run...

I am getting married on the 15th June 2013, and it looks damned likely that's when the race is going to be.

FAIL.

Did you also get the feeling that the other half chose that date on purpose?

And not to mention when your wedding anniversary is likely to land every few years!

You, my friend, have made an epic error.

Either that or the biggest 'win!' of all time if she's a motor nut! (can be taught this if needed).
