So for he first time in more years than I care to remember I will not be heading down to La Sarthe due to paying for a wedding.
So this year if I can't "sticker up my car" I will decorate my garden with a gazebo, Big TV, BBQ and I will be leaving my dumpy beers outside from today so they get nice and warm ready for Thursday night qualifying.
If you are not heading down what plans do you have to watch the race. Is it party in the garden with the sprinklers turned on every 2 hours as well ?
PS I'm not bitter honest

Strangely excited about watching it on the app this weekend, but of course gutted I'm not there in person!!
Enjoy your trip if you are going and show the French that not all British sports fans are drunken hooligans........

Not going this year so will be watching (as above). But consoling myself by going to the Classic next month instead
So, after a non-stop run of 35 years - 1981-2015 - I couldn't be arsed after the ACO website f
ked up again and I couldn't get T18 tickets. I sold the ones I did get, and the GE and the parking, and the very nice hotel, and I shall be watching on Eurosport and listening on Radio LM.
It was probably a bad decision and I will regret it I'm sure but, on the upside, I will be warm and dry/in the shade (delete as applicable); I will have a nice clean bathroom; endless cans of cheap cold beer; all my meals provided at cost and a comfy sofa to recline on and, big fanfare, I won't have to drive 25 miles through the French coutryside in the dead of night avoiding horses, deer and wild boar, not to mention owls and bats, foxes and stoats....
We'll see anyway but I think this will be a one-off. Another good thing is, I now won't be tempted to try and do 50 on the trot as I won't live long enough :-)

Desperately waiting my chance to get out to Le Mans. As a 23 year old student the funding is currently lacking, next year I plan on being there for the first time.
I shall be watching the eurosport player le mans feed (as opposed to the eurosport 1 and 2 coverage, partly as I don't have eurosport on my TV and they have a raw feed with no commentary only trackside audio available) with Radio Le Mans over the top.

You'll need more than sprinklers to replicate the authentic lm 2016 weather!So this year if I can't "sticker up my car" I will decorate my garden with a gazebo, Big TV, BBQ and I will be leaving my dumpy beers outside from today so they get nice and warm ready for Thursday night qualifying.
