Comprehensive... and might not fit in aircraft-acceptable-size luggage. Especially not when returning from the race with souvenirs and new t-shirts. Will come in very handy though when preparing everything. Thanks Ayse.

It is within my gift so to do.......

i must agree with Ayse a le mans virgin thread would soon get very messy and it will be hard to find anything in it, the usual threads do have a habit of repeating themselves and to some extent that will always happen better that if people have specific questions they start a new thread and us old hands provide the answers

Yeah, true enough - when you're chauffered excellently in a car like me you can take a large grip, another small grip just to contain the camera and other electronic gizmos as well as a large camera rucksack. I mean, I have to have somewhere to put the kettle and the teabags!

Even so, we can give it a try. If it doesn't work, we'll soon realise that. There's nothing to stop us having a 'Le Mans - the FAQ's' thread.....

One of the points is that we get a Thread where all these questions can be asked, without they "hijack" a thread. (hijack being a too harsh a word, as all questions are welcome).

Another point is that with a thread full of Q&A's would be easier for a first timer to look through, than a lot of threads covering the subject.

And finally, I think it would be helpful for us to have all the information in one thread, so we can remember everything when we are asked (personally I find it hard to remember it when someone asks)

Than this must be the second thing, because if memory serves me right, CTD's chair was actually stolen outside one of TR's loos.

But I hope you're right about TR's security, because that was one of the factors that made me come over there as I bring rather a lot of kit that I also intend on bringing back home

Lists of essentials are inevitably also personal lists. Using public transport must mean a minimum amount of luggage; two spectators in a people carrier means you can take almost anything you need.

Personally, I have my own (lengthy) list - more because old age means the memory's going than for any other reason.

However, there are some items nobody can do without: EU health card, passport, corkscrew.....

Vince don'y worfry I think it was a loo at TR corner rather than on the campsite, Unless you have a re entry ticket you are not allowed back in.

It was . Outside the loo, outside TR.

Well you need to be more careful, next time ask someone to look after it for you but choose someone who looks honest
