Wil hopefully have the new exhaust fitted before Le Mans so i can hear the V8 Petrol roar!

Where you heading from and which crossing you taking?[/quote


We will be heading down (Thursday) from Hertfordshire to Dover then across to Calais and main roads ( not tolls) to Le Mans

1st time going and can't wait. Going in my GBS Zero which will be amazing! Will have a screen fitted, and if time allows, might even have the luxury of a small roof

Just started planning the route for this year, but if anyone has some additional ideas that would be welcome. We are going to avoid the tolls like last year but try to keep the journey through France down to 5 hours including the vetts hourly fuel stops!

I'm planning on 'braving' it with my new Italian toy as below....my friend who kindly took me in his 911 last year is showing a brave face currently! I'm wondering what 'scheme' to go for sticker-wise?

Lovely... That will make an epic cruiser... Tho I pressume the engine needs the extra cooling it takes away its suprise factor

Did put the vented bonnet on for cooling, though as it turns out, that's not a problem.
The surprise factor is still there though when all 622bhp is let off the leash!!

Will be taking the Aussie brute again.................. can't wait....

Wonderful combination of car and trailer. Hope to see it there.

[The Tea Boy]

Im now taking the mondeo and taking the caravan too for a little extra comfort (driving down with a mate, then picking the wife up from tours on the monday after the race and mate flying home), followed by a week in La Rochelle

first trip to Le Mans in 6 years after doing 6 on the bounce, seriously cannot wait

[mr_oversteer]

I'll be coming down in the this

Would like to hook on a convoy

P.S apologies for the poor quality of the pictures

[JoanneJenkins]

Ill be in my huydai i800 van.

[SevenR]

First time for me and my mate going. We'll be in my S4 Avant.


Can't wait to go, I'm counting the days.

We're leaving Glasgow on the Wednesday morning at 6AM, staying in Paris that night and then heading down to the circuit to arrive Thursday afternoon.

I've booked with Travel Destinations and I'm staying at the Porsche Curves in a fancy tent with a carpet lol! I believe it's called glamping?
Anyway, It's going to be brilliant. I'm getting decals made up for the trip.
