Le Mans 2008

Only 6 months (ish!) to go until Le Mans!

Quite a few of us went last year, & Guy (White Rabbit Racing) is taking bookings again very soon...

There's also the potential to go for a more basic campsite (no Bar, BBQ etc) & save (a lot!) on the fees. What's anyone's thoughts on that?
Simple question:
Are you going?
1: Ziggy & co-pilot(s)!

I want to, not sure if my e30 will be on the road in time. John do you need a crap map reader?

Erm... I already know the way, already have at least one passenger (Mark from last year's coming, but lots more interested mates too!) and the satnav worked fine last year too... but don't let that put you off!
I may well have a spare space (depending on what car I end up taking & who comes), but you can pretty much guarantee that
someone from here will have!

Do it!

Excellent

There must have been 10ish cars from the zone there last year? I'm sure you'll find a seat! Especially as pretty much all the costs are per-car...

Just messing, mine would have aquaplaned off at the first corner. I don't think it would be a great idea, le mans then the ring, as you'll be frigging nackered. Not a lot of sleeping gets done at le mans does it. Then doing laps of the hardest(?) circuit in the world.

Well said. I heard someone fell asleep at the wheel last year as it was...
So people - have a look at the white rabbit link at the top of the page & decide if you think it's worth the cost... I'm happy to go with the general consensus but it'd be good to get us all together wherever that ends up being!
