Ok, just over a week to go now

So who here is going?

We're going early Friday, staying at a hotel away from LM Friday and Sunday night, with Saturday night at Blue Beausejour

Champagne bar sounds like a plan

I had booked again this year, but had to cancel, so just the Classic this year.
Enjoy yourselves, keep an eye out for James, he may need your help.
Over the years, I've seen some sorry sights, but I've never come across anyone who's broken a leg at Le Mans!

Worth pointing out that Rouen is still suffering from diversions due to repairs to the damaged bridge crossing.

I will be taking this route from Calais - diverting to Yvetot to avoid Rouen completely. Used this last year successfully.

Let the taunting begin! Nothing says "bring it on" like doing donuts in your rival's parking lot.

Audi-Porsche Le Mans Rivalry Heats Up With "Welcome Back" Video
Ah, sibling rivalry. It really is a beautiful thing. It's even more beautiful when said siblings are automakers with very, very well-known racing histories. That's how you get videos like this, which is Audi's way of welcoming Porsche back to the top flight of Le Mans racing.

Yes, Audi has taken its R18 E-Tron Quattro back onto public roads, wowing schoolboys and scaring farmers (who appear to be riding classic Porsche tractors), as it travels from Ingolstadt to Zuffenhausen, just to taunt its corporate frenemy.



The view from a Porsche tractor...

There is always a bottle neck at Rouen with out bridge issues, best avoid it at all costs both ways!
Fun video Jetta!
