Le Mans 2014
Posted: Mon Nov 11, 2013 4:18 pm
Hi All,
I am now planning next year’s LM24 2014. Please email me direct, or on here, if you are interested in coming. Initial plans are below, but still to be firmed up and I am happy to arrange parts or even other crossings.
Weds 11th June:
Late afternoon/Early evening Tunnel. Drive down towards Rouen. Staying overnight at a campsite in Nuefchatel en bray, or a Gites in similar area. Preferred option at the moment is a Gite due to speed/ease/luxury/comfort and ease of departure in the morning.
Thurs 11th June:
Drive to Spay campsite, there are route options. 1. Fast road 2. Intermediate road but straightforward 3. Twisty fun roads! I'll be taking 3, but happy to give clear directions for 1 and 2!
Set up at campsite, quick shop for essentials then to track for rest of qualifying and dinner (may dine outside circuit as inside restaurant is now only available to 'corporates'.
Friday: R & R.
Although still plenty to do. Classic welcome/Pit Lane/Drivers Parade/Circuit drive/Moules et Frites/Drivers Parade/BBQ with the Dutch KCC (must not miss!)
Saturday/Sunday.
Er...the main event! I plan to spend 24 hours at the circuit....but I say this every year, and usually give in about 0300!
Monday - Back North! I'll probably stay at Nuefchatel again as I have 6 hours’ drive UK side but expect everyone else will head home!
So, with Porsche joining the LMP1 party with Audi (boo) and Toyota (yay!), fantastic LMP2 and GT fields who's coming to play?
Cost: Normally works out at £150 pp based on 3 per car but this year's route is different to the last 10 years so not sure yet but I will be finalising plans in the next few weeks.
