I was curious as to how far people have driven to get there/back?

Personally, no co-driver, I did 594 miles yesterday.

I used to be based in Barcelona, now I'm in a nothing less than remote location some 150km/90miles south

Means I can rather take the long way, 99% highway to reach Le Mans, meaning 1200km, or go across the Pirinees thorugh wandering roads.

I opted for the second, left my town for Le Mans on Thursday 05:30 and arrived there at 04:30. Average for the first 320km was 60km/h, or 36 miles an hour.

On the way back, it became interesting as those last slow and winding km where driven at 04:00 AM, and that was after a short night/sleep during the race. With fog.

I was solo this year btw...

Anybody coming from Italy, southern Spain or Scotland can probably beat that -clicks wise- fairly easily, but considering the conditions, I think I qualify this time XD
