To say the PH team are excited about Le Mans would be an understatement; barely a minute passes without discussion reverting back to old Le Mans tales, or excited plans about what we'll be doing in a week's time.
We're about to take that excitement level up to heady heights, as a few minutes ago an e-mail landed in my inbox from Aston Martin Racing inviting PHers to visit their garage during the race on Saturday evening. Can you imagine being in the Aston garage as the evening sets in and the team are getting ready for the long night ahead? We can and it's going to be fantastic, and that's why we insisted that a couple of the PH team chaperoned the lucky winners....we want to look after you, you see, not just blag entry ourselves (ahem).
Being a part of the race is an experience not to be missed; you'll see the in-car cameras capturing the drivers live as they lap the circuit, you'll see the strategists at their computers and - if we're lucky - we might even be able to watch a pit stop happen live a few feet from where we are standing.
As you might expect, space is limited, so as such we will offer three extremely lucky winners access for them and a mate to the garage at 17.00 on Saturday night. We'll meet you near the pit lane and will take you to the Aston garage from there.
We don't have any rules, but it might be wise that you remain relatively sober as we'll be wandering around a live garage during race conditions.
To be in with a chance of winning, get an e-mail sent to competitions@pistonheads.com with 'Aston Le Mans' in the subject line. Please include your name and mobile number so we can contact you if you win. We'll pick three winners at random from our CGI-rendered Hawaiian Tropic bikini top when the competition closes at midday on Friday 3rd June.
Thanks very much to all at Aston Martin - we are really looking forward to meeting the team at La Sarthe. Come on the Brits!
