Le Mans 2005 dates, bit of a change

[Bodysnatcher]

This may be especially of interest to those of us that do the prequalifying weekend and the race 'week'.
The information comes from the sportscar section of the forum, started out as rumour but seems pretty definate now.

Prequalifying will not be around Easter...
but will be weekend of June 5th
and race weekend will be June 18/19th
bit of a bummer if you want to do both - whadda you do?

1)give up helping out at preQ?
2)come home for 7days?
3)forget home, stay on in France for 2 and a bit weeks?
4)errm... what weekend's Nurbergring again....

me, well, it does open up the possibility of doing the Montreal GP and Le Mans again (if the flights connect)

Just out of interest, how would I get to marshal at Le Mans??

[Alan Green]

See the thread a bit further down the page about marshalling F1 abroad, same rules apply at first.

That's a bummer, I've already put 11/12 in the diary.

Agree we could do Canada, and get in Milwaukee the week before that.

Will have to rethink the visa waiver days available

Nurburgring 24 hours is provisionally listed for end of May, to avoid clash with Le Mans.
