PistonHeads Le Mans Meet 10/06/11

Gulf offers prizes to the best 'themed' cars at the event

---

If you're heading to Le Mans next month you'll probably be aware of the PistonHeads Le Mans meet at Le Bounty being held on Friday 10th from 13.00. You didn't know? Well, we're glad we mentioned it again in that case.

The team at Le Bounty will open their gates from 13.00 and we'll remain there all afternoon. Parking is limited to around 150 cars, so there is no need to all arrive at 13.00, just pop over whenever suits during the afternoon.

The folks from Le Bounty will be happy to serve you food and drink (homemade pies a speciality) whenever you want them, too.

To make the meet a little more interesting Le Mans legends Gulf Oil will be offering some prizes to enable us to hand out some impromptu awards on the day. There is a good chance that we'll make the judging criteria up as we go along (it is Le Mans after all) but there will be a few set beforehand, namely:

• Best Gulf-themed car/bike/person/item
• Best Le Mans chariot (judges' choice)
• Most committed Le Mans attendees
• Special award for creativity (surprise us)

Gulf will have a few cracking models (cars, not girls) to give away, along with some clothing and various other bits of cool stuff. Judges will comprise the PH team along with Sam from Gulf and bribes are (of course) strictly acceptable on the day.

Make sure you sign up on the calendar if you plan to attend, and see here for more information on the actual meet.

Beer, pies, sunshine (maybe), Gulf and PHers. What more could you want from Le Mans?

Thanks to Gulf for their generosity and to the team at Le Bounty for being such good sports.

Sounds like a challenge for the chaps at Allegro Motorsport!

I'm sure if you can arrange some Gulf model cars, then you can persuade them to push the boat out a bit and provide some model girls.

If you choose to accept this mission you will get the heartfelt appreciation of a few blokes... and maybe some beer

Slightly off topic - do you have a release date confirmed yet for the 2011 Le Mans t-shirts? Going away next monday for three weeks & want to take my stuff with me.


Thank you.

[Garlick]

Production and immediate despatch starts tomorrow, so within the next couple of days I'd say.
