General " I'm excited about Le Mans" chat thread
Discussion
I'm getting my team geed up, 2 have been before, one is new. In the process, i've been getting increasingly excited myself
One thing i'm missing is this - pre F1 season, i find it really easy to follow testing, technologies, etc etc. are there any decent resource / interest sites to go at? For f1, you have scarbs, somers, james allen and if brace f1 technical.
For sportscars, i've found dailysportscar but it seems a bit all over the shop. A pre season look ahead type effort would be ace.
Any ideas?

I feel your pain. Well not really, because I couldn't imagine how stressful that can get. I hope you get it all sorted out.
This is exactly the reason why I limit my group to 3 campingtickets and all the people you could squeeze into 3 cars (well, I travel alone, so 1 person + all the people you could cram into 2 cars actually...)
Good luck with arranging all your stuff and when I see your Viper at St. Saturnin I'll come over and say hello!

3rd time for me and dad have two virgins tagging along in their own car this time. Not been since 2010 so very much looking forward to going back, did an epic 18 hour sleepless stretch last time to get the most of the race in.
Taking the porker so look out for the two lancashire accented guys in the Blue Porsche 968 supporting Webber!!!

Been going on and off since 93, and managed to sort things out (late) for this year to do LM and then N24 the following weekend. Perfect timing to swing through Normandy for D-Day 70th on the way east, then into Belgium to see the Menin gate for WW1 100th, before heading on to the Ring.
Getting very excited now!

Radio Lemans does a preview show prior to the race which I download and we sit and listen to in the car en route - I also make a Spotters' Guide (free of course) 365 sportscar / endurance.info / planet lemans / mariantic / mulsanne mike are all you friends and go to Silverstone over Easter One thing i'm missing is this - pre F1 season, i find it really easy to follow testing, technologies, etc etc. are there any decent resource / interest sites to go at?

Slight alteration in my plans....originally overnight 7/8 June, just in time for scrutineering on the Monday.
OH wants to change it now......
Good news, we're now travelling 24/25th May
Test day and scrutineering now in plans.
Return is now looking likely as 11th July, week after the Classic.
