Glad to see it's not just me who keeps popping in here despite the race being the best part of a year away!

Anyone going to Silverstone next month to relive the noise?

Heading over to France for the rugby world cup every weekend in September. The game against Samoa is in Nantes though so might try and squeeze in a quick run down Mulsanne on the way home.

Thats a thought?? The weekend 15/16 it's Eng v SA in Paris on Friday night. We could run down to Le Mans on Saturday, have a night there and run back to the coast for the 2pm sailing on Sunday.

How are you getting over there? I have got some trips planned but was wary of going by car as wasn't sure where to park

Taking the '92 Vette to every game. The games in Paris I'm stopping at La Defense just outside Paris centre, for Nantes and Lens I've got a Formula1 type place a few miles from the ground. All it needs is a taxi ride or train to the ground and back again.

Got stickers ordered already, bonnet, rear window and driver/co-driver. Can't wait!!

Er - did you plan the dates to fit around me Dave? I am at the Glen and only get back the 13th! The weekend of the 15/16 is free though if you want to come

I've just been on the website. At £20 per head (for advance bookings) I thik it would be rude not to pop down to it. I've just texted my Le Mans partner in crime to see if he's free too.

I was over in france last week and had a run down the mulsanne. You can actually do a lot of the circuit as a fair chunk is public road
Great track!!
