Im sure your older son will have a ball to a point ..... after that expect the im tired and bored bit to follow .
I wish you and your family the best , but I suspect that any future trips will be made alone ...................
If you can manage to explain thet this is a weekend of endurance racing , and not a shopping trip ..... it may go well for you .

Completely disagree with this!!
I've been going since I was 4 and if it wasn't for my dad
commanding me to return to my tent, I would have stayed up for the whole race!
We used to go as a family to the race, with my little sister and my mum. My sister sometimes got a little bored but we all agree that the best holidays we ever had we going to the race and staying in a gite for two weeks 20 minutes or so from the track. When we can, we'll all do it again.
My mum was never into motor racing before she met my dad and she's still not in to motor racing much, but she absolutely adores the magic of Le Mans. If she could go every year, she would.
Le Mans can be enjoyed as a family event. The place becomes its own universe during the week and there's nothin else like it - I can't think of anyone not being captivated by the atmosphere, the magic and the humanity on display.
