Le Mans 2012 - Details

[Edd]

Hi,
It’s time to think about Le Mans 2012! Why bother with the Olympics? Get to France for some real sport! Seriously though, details and first draft of plans for next years trip:-
Details similar to previous years. Obviously final prices not fully know yet and a lot depands on the exchange rate and if we pay in Euros or Francs!!!
As usual I do have a spare passenger seat waiting to be filled. I will have a tent big enough for both of us i.e. a small 4 man with 2 bedrooms. Get in touch.
More information on request!

How are you getting on with this ?
After some thought & discussion with some mates, re LM Proper vs LM Classic, think I'm going put my name down for June.
Depends on whether you are OK for non-JPSC cars to join your convoy ?

Potentially I have a three car group - Myself & Mrs in a Stylus, mate +1 in a Porsche, & mate +1 in a Murtaya kit.
All travelling from Liphook / Godalming area.

Can that fit in with your plans ??

Definitely committed to the Classic now Edd. I am in the process of chasing my brothers to see if they are interested in the 24hrs.

Hi MAtt,
Yes, all welcome despite what car! It's rare we have 100% Sylva cars to be honest but it isn't just about Sylva's is it?
It's just a brilliant weekend of automotive porn!

Pete,
Good stuff thanks. I'll do the classic one year but the full race is always my priority.

Definitely 2 cars & 4 people from my group. The porsche driver doesnt want to commit yet.

So that's a Stylus & Murtaya along too !!

All,
Those wanting to go should have had an email from me. If not let me know.
Anyone not shouted loud yet, please do so ASAP!
Edd
PS. I have a spare passenger seat!

Can't wait, nailing my colours to the mast early, I will be shouting for the Toyota!
