That is session territory.
Who’s going to be boozing all day long and all night?

[JT3K]

Last year, 14 of us (Tue to Mon) put away

3l vodka
2l rum
1l gin
0.5l blue curaçao
96 strong bow
3 bottles red wine
3 bottles champagne
850 kronembourg
+ trackside beers/janines beers/beermountain AGM beers

Wasn't even messy.

I’m a bit of a boozer but that’s some serious drinking

[Tyre Smoke]

You think? I demolished 1.5 litres of gin, five bottles of wine and 48 bottles of Cobra (330ml) on my own.

Well I did 10 pints of ale last night during Eurovision and it didn’t touch the sides the night before I had a slow night only 6.

Maybe I should join the Le Mans Trip and get properly boozy enjoying ale Mans

As a mate who came with us advised "at some point, Kronembourg just becomes water".

In 2016 I cycled to LM with a bunch of dad's from our kids school. One of our party made the point at breakfast on the Friday morning that "Kronenbourg was the perfect breakfast tipple".

Well there's always one lunatic Had you thought about taking a Petrol Powered car. It's much more relaxing and fun?

[chasingracecars]

Well I did some 20 years ago when I couldn’t drive didn’t have any friends that wanted to go so Newbury via Newhaven Dieppe and then to Houx Annexe. That was 1998 then in 2000 was my next visit in my first car a VW Camper. Been going since with petrol and diesel!

Yes, we saw Hoolio both before and after the ferry crossing...proper dedication and he wasn’t slacking either as he was pressing on to get their as quickly as he could. It was a top effort.

Ah yes, I think you were in a group of 3 cars that passed us??

I'm driving down again in the GT3 this year and plan to drive part of the route we cycled for old times sake.

[vincegail]

Can we please go back to sunshine, a few clouds, no rain and a cat confirming this by entering the tent using the right entrance?

[Big Robbo]

It's going to be Scorchio!

Just checked, solid rain Thursday to Sunday, you lot best take your wellies

"Solid rain" being like day and night for four days? That sounds ugly. How close to race day does it
have to be before the forecasts begin to have some credibility?

[FredericRobinson]

About 1 day normally, certainly take no notice of a forecast longer than 3 or 4 days out, apart from the cat, obviously
