PistonHeads Friday Service in Le Mans
A reminder to PHers that our next PH meet with take place in Le Mans on Friday 15th June
This is where the Friday Service will be
The weather this year is a worry, of course, but come rain or shine the PH team will open the gate to the Le Mans Friday Service at Parking du Fresne on Friday 15th June at 13.00 and for the first time in PH Service history we will actually have a gate to open. How exciting. We'll close those gates at 16.00, meaning it's a shorter meet than usual, but with so much to do in Le Mans that's not a bad thing.
Not only have we borrowed some ACO grass to host the continental touring PHer, we have also laid on some rather fine food from the team behind Laverstoke Park Farm (owned by Jody Scheckter). There will in addition be some cold beer from the 1st-Tickets crew and we also hope to welcome the Nissan Juke Box (see what they did there?) to provide some music around the food area. It’s going to be an event to remember - and at least you can be assured we won't serve those weird red sausages they sell in the supermarkets over there.
If you fancy coming along we would really appreciate it if you would sign up on the calendar, as this will help us monitor how many people are planning to come along. For those who would rather arrive on foot, we have provided a way for you to register as a pedestrian, as although car spaces are limited to 500 we can accept more on foot.
We really hope to see plenty of Le Mans-based PHers there, and as you arrive say hello to us as we (the PH team) will be the gate staff (we're very excited about this gate).
See some of you in France, and for those not making the trip the normal Sunday Service will return to the UK in July.
The ACO are joining our man in the field at the venue tomorrow to sort out wet areas, in worst cases cordoning off sections, but that's why we chose to limit at 500 instead of the 900 it holds. Even if 50% is wet we'll be fine.
On Friday all bumpy/ wet areas will be cordoned off and we'll make sure you're safely in (and out). The good thing is having daily chats with the ACO to keep things in check and we'll update accordingly
We don't plan to simply turn up on Friday and hope all will be ok, believe me.
