Go for the week; it's a week long party.
Scrutineering starts on Monday afternoon in the middle of the city. Qualifying at Arnage is fantastic, especially after dark. Sitting in the grandstands opposite the pits at 4am during the race has a magical feeling. It's almost as if the race is put on 'just for you'.  |

Just had the defender cleaned and changed the wheels on the Sankey for the trip. Will be driving down early Wednesday morning.
Camping at Chateau Chanteloup, about 20 mins outside Le Mans. Will post some photo's when the stickers go on this evening. 110 pints of Rebellion beer coming down in the sankey  as well as 2 Paella pans to keep 14 blokes with bacon and egg baguettes each morning. ===================================

Wow what a great weekend
 Drove down in the D4 on Thursday, traffic was ok until we got to Le Mans, when it was very busy with lots of roadworks.
Stayed on Blue Nord (Sud?) I can't remember which one, but it was the bigger of the 2 Blue sites. The race was very entertaining, and we managed to get around all viewing areas over the 24 hours. We did sneak off to sleep for about 4 hrs in the middle of the night. They says there was about 250000 people there, mainly Brits. The journey there and back was like a car show on the move! Loads of exotica, and Land Rovers! The only downside was the way the camp site degenerated over the weekend, culminating in a drunk/drugged  in a Dodge Charger, complete with a Captain America helmet, demolishing the gazebo next door to where we were camping, whilst he was trying to stop after attempting some donuts! Luckily there was nobody inside. Then on Sunday night the bonfires started. If it wasn't occupied or nailed down, it was on the fire! Including some gas canisters!
Anyway, I'd go again, but might avoid the 'festival' style campsites and find somewhere a bit more sensible. 2021 Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE D300 MHEV 1966 S2a 109 aka Betsy |
