I thought I'd "bump" this in case you hadn't seen it. Great opportunity for someone.

Is there the same drink restriction on people arriving as on the other prize?? I hope not :-)

[eybic]

It probably wouldn't be a good idea to turn up too drunk

Did anybody win this competition?

Someone called George, going by the clip I hear yesterday and the namecheck he gave PH.

No idea what his username is though (assuming he contributes to the forums, of course).

Hi everyone,
I am that George that won the compo. Pretty jammy I know but I made sure ph, shell and Eurosport got their name checks on the programme. It was the least I could do in return for all the hospitality I was given, and the fact that I made it to one of the most thrilling and hottest Le Mans in years. This was my first time at the 24h and it was the perfect intro to the race. That and the group c cars. And the historic Porsches parked on the track on Friday. And the pit walk care of Eurosport and the ACO. Plenty of photo bombing and a mad scramble. The ACO party on Saturday night into Sunday was pretty special too, as was the 7am finish for me as I bailed and left the brave to carry on. Sorry I missed the Friday service, I arrived too late and got caught up in the driver parade in town. Some serious metal being pedalled through the streets. Trying to pinpoint Nathan, who broke the news that I had won, among the 300000 strong crowd was nigh on impossible after that. I owe you a drink. Champagne care of the ACO girls. Long story. And did I mention the race?
More to come and some photos too,
Thanks again,
George
