With a month to go, just wondered if anyone else is going? Will be our third time, really looking forward to it and McLaren lead the points currently, so should be good bounce

Sorry to sound thick but im keen to find out more. Im a bike racing fan, but over the years ive become very fond of Le Mans and the world series hung off the back of it.

What series is this? What class of cars? Is it worldwide or European?
Any info will be appreciated...especially if it gives me another car racing series to get interested in!

I went in 2014 and produced a bit of a report with a few photos. Might help give you a flavour of what it's like to attend. Great event!

I remember watching that race, it was brutal! The frequencies of the safety cars made it quite low in my to-do list.. well, until your link smile

It's a great event but that particular race was hard going at times. Just something that came happen from time-to-time. You really should go one year - it's a fantastic weekend.

Last year was pretty hard going on the Saturday too with the weather / safety cars. Third time lucky!

Just seen this, you've sold it to me :-). Many thanks for the link, really enjoyed looking through that - definitely to be added to my list of races to go to.
