It's been a while since I looked for this - do Autosport still do a guide?

I'm sure I got one again last year. Funnily enough though I looked in Tesco if it was in this weeks, but apparently not.

It's been pretty rubbish in recent years. A combination of the Club Arnage guide and the Radio Le mans preview podcasts does it for me.

It'll be the first Thursday in June so a good 10 days before the race.

What has happened to the club arnage guide this year? I seem to remember it was updated quite early last year. Quite a good little guide and definitely worth giving a donation.

It doesn't appear to be in this weeks... gutted. We'll already be in France by next Thursday. Any suggestions for alternative (available *now* - want to start getting even more excited) guides?

Usually autosport gas been for sale or given away in the village area. Radio Le mans stand have sold them before, so you should be able to get hold if one at the race.

Usual autosport stuff though.. Fairly generic 24hrs guide, covers the bases but goes no further.

Has anyone managed to pick up a copy today? Every issue of Autosport in Smiths at East Croydon Station seemed to be missing the guide, although it was advertised as being inside on the magazine's masthead.

MrsDavetheMighty had the same problem in Chichester as well.

Not sure if the printer managed to overlook putting them in!

Cheers

Just picked one up from Tesco in Sheffield. Small A5 size guide in the middle. It's the first time I've bought it so not sure if it's up to your usual expectations.

Not long now biggrin

I've got a copy.

It is only A5 in size and fairly thin so blends in with the usual 'junk mail' inserts.
