Le Mans Next Year

[shortname]

Auto petrol stations only take french credit cards - thanks a bunch chaps!

If you drive too quickly they not only fine you on the spot, they take your licence and you cannot drive on - so take a spare driver or a tow truck! (Mate from work had to take over the driving duties in a GT3 but had to stick to the speed limit all the way because he didn't have all his docs - another instant fine!)

Other than that its brilliant driving over there - they have a quaint practice on the autoroutes - they pull in after overtaking - I think the french term is "lane discipline"

Bob, what are you going Le Mans for? Car stuff?

Actually Bob whilst you're about it it would be handy if you could mark out our plots in Houx Annexe early - although some might consider ten months a little extreme.

He could get the beer wall started and fire the BBQ up Kris

Hmmmnnn, yes, and the start the 345 runs to the mastic shop which will be needed. Possibly also a good time to start queuing for the showers.

Its just our annual holiday - at last - staying close to Monaco second week.

 

Spending the first week popping along a few race circuits etc just for fun. Sorry, best change that, apparently were on holiday and no motor racing Kim tells me - yeah right Kim !

 

Do the French do track days ???????

So I think I've worked out the September run.

 

So it's Brands Hatch, Circuit Paul Ricard, Le Mans, Monaco, and might throw in San Remo Rally stages too

 

Whooooooooo Hoooooooo ! Anyone else ?

Has been on of my ambitions to drive to Monaco in my car!

 

One day

Sadest news though we going in Kims Megane for practical reasons.

 

Its not even a nice "shake your @rse" one - nasty horrible piece of French dog dirt that it is - diesel too. Pah !

[Scott_Mac]

That's not sad news... that's tragic news!

 

My heart goes out to you...
