This will be my 6th in a row and I'm not planning to stop.
I know that many of you will easily eclipse this figure so come on then show me what I have to aspire to.

Just a mere 3 for me on the trot, had to miss last year due to Grandparents 60th Wedding Anniversary, so i class that as exceptional circumstances. Back this year though to start the totting up process again :-)

Same as that! I also do not intend to stop going! Such a brilliant break, not to mention weekend's racing!

One of our crowd has just begun his career as a pilot and having only just started working for a familiar airline, is pretty hard done to for planning holidays. Needless to say he has to work sunday and cant escape it, so is hitching a lift with us on Thursday AM and staying until Saturday evening to grab a flight from Paris back to LGW!! Crazy, but also great to get a few hours in and still count as on of his weekends to "top up".

Haven't been consecutive years but recently have done 1 Bike, 2 LMP, and last years Classic. The work done around the circuit have been a great improvement.

9th this year.

Thinking of doing something a bit different/special for next year at the race the 10th outing.

Dunno what though.

Can't see myself not going one year. It would have to be something pretty drastic not to be able to go.

Been every year since 1996 except for one becaue of a family matter. Been to all Le Mans Classics too.

I've no doubt it will be revealed later on in this thread that I'm a mere "teenager" when it comes to my Le Mans experience.

One of the guys I went with for the first few years had been about the same, he even went there for his honeymoon!

my 11th year in a row. People i go with have been going since 1988!. I feel that i came at the wrong time. The late 90's was where Le Mans should be today. Having Cadilac, Toyota, BMW, Merc, Nissan etc seems to be what Le Mans really needs again

First Le Mans 1978 - missed just 2 since so I reckon this year will be trip number 32, averaging 4 days per visit that's about 4 months of my life spent at L.M...
