Hello Gents,

Its been asked in previous years, but will anyone be running (on their legs) the track on Friday at this years Lemans (24 hour not the classic,) and can it be done?

I know about half the track is open, and in previous years some of the langoustine lads have jogged it on the Thursday. I have seen a couple of blokes running it on the Friday before, but whether that is marshall, team member or driver is unknown.

Shall I have beer instead?

Cheer

Would love to join, sadly I arrive on Thursday evening.

I get it on the Friday - it will be busy, and I'd risk getting egged by some over enthusiastic mad Friday Scandinavians.

Perhaps this won't fly, I might try a very early one (at about 0700) I assume the barriers don't go up until 0800 or maybe I should just enjoy a good few arrival beers.

How fast are the leaders going? I did a 10k on Monday in 43 mins, can anyone beat that? - show me the bucket of ice; whey!

Thanks for the run guys. Was good, despite leading a good way I came in forth, but my disappointment wasn't like that of Toyota today!

I hope you enjoyed the race, I shall see you next year!

Hello Gents,

I have seen some chatter on the forums about doing the run again.

Do we fancy it? Same place - same day - same time?

FYI - I've been training, hoping to hold you guys off at Dunlop this year!

Thanks,
