James and I are off to La Belle France on the morning of Sunday 6th June, hopefully arriving about 3 pm, I believe. Then its a drive down to Le Mans, picking up supplies on the way. We're staying for the week in St. Saturnin, so I guess we'll be in Le Mans town for scrutineering as soon as we're able and of course in the circuit for practice and qually on Wednesday and Thursday. The Great British Welcome at St. Sat beckons on Friday before the pits walkabout and (hopefully) the driver parade. We'll be at the circuit I'm sure nice and early on Saturday, ready for the lunchtime Tenths rendezvous before we go off to our grandstands (James is in 17 while I still favour 34!). I'm sure we'll be out and about around the circuit during the race, which should include a trip out to Arnage and Indianapolis and after the race we'll meander back to Caen for the 4.30 return trip to Portsmouth.
The time seems to have flown over the last few weeks since I arranged this with James and all I can say is - I'm bally well looking forward to it!!!  |
Sleep.....haven't had much recently. Been somewhat preoccupied by the knock-on effects of events in Iceland (as have many of us who work in the travel industry). Complete nightmare!
Just to add to Ayse's post; we will also be availing ourselves of Toyota power. For us, it's my pre-Toyota GT-One vintage Camry V6, the old girl making just her second trip to Le Mans. Our outbound crossing is scheduled to arrive in Le Havre at 12:45, so hopefully we'll miss just the first hour and a half of Sunday scrutineering. And, since our return crossing doesn't leave until 18:30 the following Monday, we are planning an end of trip lunch in Honfleur on our way back to Le Havre.
Yep, can't wait!
