why worry about transportation we all know that moonshine has to be delivered in a bright orange dodge charger

I'll be there. Like last year I'll be doing the Test Day of course.

Can't attend the actual race due to an important thing on Saturday morning but I'll be there from Tuesday to Friday to get my race weekend atmosphere fix.

Will be watching the race with the fellows in the chat then, the best of both worlds

Yep, I'll return as well. As it now stands, with a party of about thirty strong. Dutch,English and Germans. Should be a right good ol' laugh again.
Haven't been able to order early this time though, so we'll be camping at Expo...
Anyone been there in the last decade? I've been there once but that was 1996.
I reckon it's a lot different now...
I remember standing there, somewhere after midnight on the Friday, looking at a McLaren F1 GTR doing some testruns on the airfield. Pure magic that was...

Does anyone have news about the Le Mans panoramic book by Gavin Ireland?
I would have thought that it was on sale by now.

I`ve been waiting forever for that book to come out, wasn't that originally planned to be about the 2010 event? I swear I saw a cover of it with the R15 Plus on it.

Edit: Yep
