Got back from Le Mans tonight after 12 hours of travelling im knackered. But I can honestly say this is the most amazing thing i've done in my life.

Had such a amazing time and thanks to Vauxhall for putting this on.

Then my camera ran out of battery frown


But at the end of the race every one went out on the track, and I managed to get right next to the podium on the pit lane. Even got my very own peice of the Aston Martin that crashed from the gravel pit.

Cant wait for next year biggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrin

My trip was fantastic - apart from having my wallet and credit cards stolen but something else made up for it




and this is what we saw - here Darren Turner is being interviewed for Radio Le Mans




and also this



The food was superb. Thanks to all at Aston Hospitality - if you read this

I have been going to motorracing for more than 40 years and Le Mans 2010 was the high point

Shame that Magnussen retired

The mini was one of those limited edition jobbies with 220 horse - so 140 wasnt a huge problem - and he could get lots of luggage in.

The purple lambo and corvette you may have seen both got pulled - 750 euro each and banned for 3 months.

Sorry to drag an old thread up...I worked for AMR at Le Mans including a 14 hour stint in the pit suite and any feed back of your experience etc would be great.

Thanks
