Anybody know dates yet? or have an idea?

The European Championship is being held in France next June and starts Friday June 10th. France also play on Sunday 19th June.

Also does anyone have a weather forecast?






If I was a betting man I'd say 18th/19th June as that fits between the proposed dates for the Canadian and British F1 GPs.

It's a pretty good bet to go for the 24th weekend of the year spookily enough

[The Leaper]

Yes, I agree those dates. It will be my son's birthday on the 18th and Father's Day on the 19th so we've both got the best excuses ready to be absent from our families once again in June!

Are you stickered up yet?

[Man-At-Arms]

who's won the race ??

[RemaL]

lol i'll be there with a group with Team Langoustine next year. As said should be the 24th week of the year. Unsure on stickers or weather at the moment

If it is the 18th-19th of June then I think we might see a change of time to the start of the race from 15.00 to 17.00 because of the European Championship.

Le Mans is traditionally held on the second weekend of June, so in 2016, that'll be June 11th-12th.

Although that seems early, 2011's race was run on the same weekend (and 2010 was 12th-13th).

That's my bet at least!

it'll change when Bernie announces the F1 calendar, and there is suddenly a conflicting race w/e

Monaco Grand Prix and Monaco Classic both put back a week next year. Le Mans Classic is 9th / 10th July 2016 and is usually 3 weekends after the main event then by my reckoning 18th / 19th June 2016 sounds about right also Canadian F1 should be 12th June and FIA don't let them clash anymore

(P.S. Sunday 19th June 2016 is Fathers Day, some people might have issues with that!)
