Anyone go to Le Mans for the race this weekend?

Hi Guys

I will be off to Le Mans for the 24hour race this weekend. I will try to get some pics of some Sexy Motors and anything Rolex related as well.

If anyone thinks they will be at the race, drop me a PM for a possible meet.

cheers

Paul

Have a great time, Paul looking at all those "watches" and "cars".

Have a great time.

I've never been to Le Mans, but it seems there's as much zooming off the track as on!

I plan to go next year. My wife would like to take her mum to Europe before she is too old to travel. Unfortunately if she does this then there will be no shared hols for us and I dont want to crash their bonding. I have come up with a great solution. Which is to take my own boys adventure. In short, leave them in London/paris to be tourists, and take myself on a journey that will pick up perhaps Monaco GP / Le Mans and as many Ferrari/Porsche Museums as a man can muster. Re collect the ladies at the end and take them home. All of us should be happy. Might try and snag a ride with the Porsche club of GB to Le Mans as I know the brits are big supporters of following the race.

If the Porsche doesnt pan out you can catch the TGV from Gare du Nord to Le Mans every hour, it takes less than 2 hours at 185mph.
Monaco GP, ensure you bring your Credit cards
