After meeting a few over the last week or so, it seems that quite a few of you had been to Le Mans.

Is anyone planning on the trip again next year? if so which event are you looking at? the 24hr or the le mans classic in July.

We are planning on going again for our fourth time but as yet undecided on which event, never having been to the classic anyone got any opinions on that.

Im doing the classic next year with Tuxman and the Ultima crew... The bigger the group the better and the place we stay is absolutelly awsome Chateau Chateloup I think its called.

I want to go next year.

Undecided on the 24 or Classic. Seeing as I am new to it I thought I would probably go to the 24.

Haven't looked into it yet though.

As Andy says group of us going to the classic next year , its a more relaxed event with a more upmarket feel to the whole event !!! no beer bottle mountains , and the chataux we stay at is awesom .

Will be doing the 24hr again next year; going again with Team Langoustine. Brilliant location and great amenities.
Run by one of the Nobility aswell so what more can I say wink

I'll be going to the Classic for 2 weeks.
I've got a house down there already, but hope to meet up with some of you during the week.
Maybe arrange something nearer the time.

I've done the 24Hr last two years. Car was off the road for this year but will be doing the Classic next year. We stay at a mate's house approx 1 hr south of Le Mans but will be very keen to meet up for a civilised pint or two of vin rouge.

Some of you probably already know, and probably bored of hearing about it,but LeMans had been a pilgrimage for me for many years until 2006 when I outstayed my welcome there in intensive care for a couple of months or so!
Since then, the missus has used that as an excuse to wrap me up in cotton wool, however, I have told her that 3 years is long enough and that 2010 is the year to return. So, at this stage I'm unsure as to who is coming with me(some of the boys seem to have lost their bottle!). But I like to camp in Karting Nord or Tetre Rouge. (Done the chateau. Was good, but like to be trackside)
End result: please keep me posted to who is going and where they are to stay because I might just add to the convoy if my mates are not playing ball. Might just add to the convoy even if they do come!
