"Le Mans Grapevine" on WhatsApp

[bigcw]

Bit of an experiment... we've got a big WhatsApp group (80-ish when I last checked) running with the idea of sharing real time rumours and info over the week both on and off circuit. I say experiment because who knows if it will turn into a spam fest or be genuinely useful but if you don't try these things you will never know (and you can always leave).

Is the group chat re-opening this year since its the first normalish year since covid? I remember it being fun and useful back in 2019!

I’m still a member from 2019, I’ll shout out if I see any movement

Sounds good. Last time I went was 2019. Can't wait for this year's race !

group still dead as a doornail, hopefully something will change over next week.

Op seems to have been inactive on here since starting the group!

Groups up, be quick to join, here’s the message from the chat - Hi Everyone. Hope you are all as excited for this years race as we are!

Just to let you know, we will be opening up the group again for messages a week today, 6th June, to coincide with the start of Le Mans week, and closing it again a week later on the evening of 13th June once everyone should be well on their way back home.

If you have friends coming with you to La Sarthe please feel free to add them to the group. There are currently 149 members of a group maximum of 256 so don’t leave it to the last minute!

I'm in. A very eclectic mix of nationalities!

I'm in Houx, arriving about now a week today and leaving very early morning on the 13th.

Same here. We will be leaving after the race though. Can't wait !

That didn't hang around, full! Hopefully plenty on there that aren't going this year that remove themselves once the messages start pinging in, as it would be good to get on as a Le Mans newbie.
