Apologies if this has already been posted - I couldn't see a thread...

Next year (2019) Le Mans and the N24 are running on consecutive weekends 15th and 22nd June.

Is anyone planning on going to both events and road tripping it between Le Mans and the ring?

Wont be cheap but would be an epic couple of weeks!

I did this a few years back when they ran on consecutive weekends, will have to look to see if i can make it happen again. I've got Le Mans is booked but work and family commitments will make N24 hard in 2019.

As advice for anyone that has not gone to the N24 before, it is worth doing your research on locations where you want to watch or visit, the scale of the track is hard to get your head round when spectating. We got lost and ended up walking for hours as we took a slightly wrong route and found ourselves on the side of the old track where it became hard to watch and dense with forest. But don't let that put anyone off as the atmosphere and the racing is incredible and a real contrast to the Le Mans 24-hours.

The German fans go to incredible lengths to watch this race, their stands and shelters in the woods are seriously impressive. Plus you will stumble across small huts in the woods selling cold Bitburger Beer and Currywurst, with a backdrop of racing what could be better!

Oh my days, sounds brilliant. I tried to do LM24 and the French GP, but it didn't work out.
