Not the truth. Via Michelin gives me 1261 km from the danish boarder to Le Mans. It will bee at least 300 ekstra from Aalborg.

Ups. Miles and KM does not go well together. :-)

It is seriously disturbing how many people are predicting a victory for the #8 Toyota in the other thread.

I hope to see everyone at my first Le Mans! Hopefully first of many!
That is quite a journey!
I'll be setting off myself from Warrington, not until Tuesday though.
Have fun on the journey, and indeed at the race itself

It shouldn't be. As far as we can tell, Toyota is the closest to having the "magic" combination of pace, economy and reliability. The #8 in particular has also had the edge over its sister car.

I don't see why it's so shocking that #8 is seen as the favourite to take victory.

I think with it being my first time going. I want to try and be there for all of the week. Scutineering, Autograph sessions, Practice, Qualifying, Support races, Driver's Parade, Pitwalk and of course the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.

I guess at this point our French friends begin to wonder if we've been on the cheese and booze already.......

This is a bit off topic, but I don't know where else to put this, so:

I need help getting to the 10Tenths IRC chat on Chatzilla. If someone could either PM me or reply here telling me how to access it, that'd be fantastic. I've tried twice through the IRC chat link above, but when I type messages there, they don't appear and the popup blocker comes in, for some strange reason. Thanks in advance.

Thank you very much.

To swing it back round, you guys really think this'll be Toyota's year? I've only ever known Audi dominance, and the 24 Hours is unique, even when grouped into a world championship.

Okay so now that all of the GTEs have been granted extra five liters of fuel in the latest update in the constantly changing BoP, that means Aston has 100 liters compared to 95 of Porsches and 90 of Corvette and Ferrari... meaning that when Sam Collins reported during test day that Aston had said they couldn't possibly add any more capacity to their Vantage which was the reason they were frustrated -> utter BS politics lies. Either that or ACO have allowed them to have second tank in that garbage of a car for those extra liters
