We'll have that post race nostalgic feel, mixed in with the sadness that it's a 12 month wait....

I can't wait. And it's bugging me a lot!

3rd Year, and I'm looking forward to this more than the others. 1st Year I did not really follow the racing. Last year Le Mans radio and a headset made a big difference.

Oh - and I think we've absolutely cracked the cold beer conundrum after just about getting there last year.

Coolbox stuffed with kanterbrau stubbies, and pour crushed ice from the fishdepartment of Carrefour over and in between them? That was my way of doing it when I still was roughing it out on Beausejour or Technoparc biggrin

When you bring the coolbox over to the carrefour, and put the stubbies in the coolbox at the parking lot, and apply the ice then and there, your beers will be at perfect drinking temperature at the time you'll be back at your campsite beer

on the cold beer front i use an electronic cool box i got from halfrauds a few years ago, it plugs into the car cigrette lighter and just make sure its plugged in whenever we go for a drive (cant put water/ice in it to any real depth due to the fan system in the lid beerdrink

Last year was 12v coolbox also filled with ice, topped up with ice daily throughout the weekend.

This year I may be mocked, but I will have cold beer.

In 6 months it will all be over...correct...but that also means it is less than 6 months to go!!!!

Hotel in Rouen on the way down Tuesday night, 4 nights there, night in Abbeville on the Sunday and then the post race depression kicks in. New C7 victory in GTPro would certainly soften the blow.

In 5 months from now, Le Mans Classic will just be getting under way, if that helps everyone feel better.
