Well, after years of saying I'm going and then never getting round to it, I've just paid a deposit with Travel Destinations for their on-circuit enclosure near the Porsche Curves. Plan to travel down from Cambridge on Thurs morning, take the tunnel to Calais (I took the Cerb on a ferry once - had to climb out/in through the window as I had no room to get the door open!).

I know it's months off yet, but has anyone else booked yet?

I'm going to the Classic again this year, I take it you're off to the main race (both brilliant, but different). smile

Have booked for the Classic so far - gaggle of Cerberas in Karting Nord positioned for parade laps tongue out.

I usually do the 24 hour in June and will probably do it again this year - although haven't booked or formed a plan yet. Traditionally stay in Houx, but it could be anywhere at this point.

Would also take the tunnel, so will give you a shout if I decide to go and be great to hook up.

Will be at Le Mans not in the Cerb though taking the Manbulance again, will be at the Classic with the Cerb.

Haven't sorted anything out yet, can't decide wether to camp or hotel will have to sort soon.

Yep I am going, we have booked the Houx? site. I'll be driving across from Frankfurt, not a bad drive in the Cerb, going through Paris should be interesting!

We'll be going down in the Cerbera (if it is alive that week) from Cambridge on the Thursday morning and were going to be going via the tunnel......

Spooky wink

We should be in a convoy with a couple of other cars, be great to meet up somewhere on the way (say Cambridge wink)

If anyone fancies emailing me a few details of good places to stay etc for the Classic I'd be grateful.

Done the main event a few times but I'm a Classic novice!

Cheers!

David, sounds good - I'll drop you an email when I get confirmation of the crossing times. I might have a friend with a 996 C4S Cabrio coming too although he hasn't committed 100% yet. On a side point have you driven your Cerb through Waterbeach on occasion? I have seen a nice blue one drive through a few times - same colour as mine with the pod lights and spiders.

Quite surprised that the Classic seems to be more popular, I always assumed the 24hours was the biggie. What's the appeal of the Classic then over the 24hrs?

Ah, never been through Waterbeach in it (only had it since oct) we are down in Linton.

What crossing are you on?

I've not been to the classic yet, was going to this year but the fact that it is not one long race has put me off. That said everything else is supposed to be better and there is a far smaller chav element.

The 24hrs is bigger and a wonderful thing to behold, just avoid the wa@kers wink

You been in Waterbeach for long, my wife used to teach there....
