My first time to Le Mans this year I haven't been there at all before, or even France

Don't really know what to expect when I get there. I was wondering what everything else is like apart from the race. Like attractions near the circuit, whats the museum like? And sort of like a rough Guide To The Le Mans 24 Hour Race...........

Autosport traditionally do a Le Mans pull out special guide thing the two weeks before the race. Do you know someone near that has last year's knocking about ?

Cheers,

Andy.

I'd recomend going into town at some stage, there's a bus from the cemetery just up from the main gates, it goes straight into the city centre (Place de la Republique) where all the bars are.

The museum is ok, not very big, but interesting enough to spend a couple of hours in, I wouldn't lose sleep if I didn't get to look around it.

Driving the circuit is a must do.
