Is that starting from the 1st June to take in the Test Day on the 3rd



That will make a nice two month break

ACO newsletter Contact. Says 9&10 June but that arrived last week!

At last! A whole 7 days away from my little boys birthday. No sneaking off after his party this time and will be able to do 5 to 7 days instead of 3 or 4.
Result!

Balls.....

We were thinking about using the short Jubilee week for a pre LM jaunt through the Alps.

I really hate it when you're right!

From the ACO press release

Next year, the Le Mans 24 Hours will be held a week later than in 2011 after an assessment of various factors, including the sporting and political calendars.

Which has buggered me up, as I now need shift cover!
My boss always plans our plant shut down for the week after Le Mans (nice chap), which will mean it will be tight for the Classic!

Can't believe they've moved the date

I can't go now. I'll have to go to the Nurburgring 24 Hours instead

Take him with you he will love it. My sons birthday is on the 8th June and he's now 14 and been 4 times. Ps he doesn't need and entrance ticket either!

Noted for 2012 department holiday planning - no-one else here's interested in LM, so it makes it easy for me to get the time off!

Damn. its now the same weekend as the In-laws 50th wedding anniversary. Mind you I have been going to Le Mans for many years before I met my wife so ......

Email to hotel done.

Leave application at work will be done this afternoon.

The planning has begun.

[FredericRobinson]

That puts Le Mans into a different week than the TT. Hmmmm

[MiniMan64]

That's means I'm out, again. They couldn't just make it half-term could they!
