I hope your doing Le-Mans the "proper" way?, i.e/ seeping in tent next to Viper! listening to the cars blasting down the straights at 2 in the morning whilst having a BBQ and Beer! That the only "proper" way to do Le-Mans. On friday we hope to meet up in the usual place (Arnarge/Indi corner and straight), it`s the only place to be seen on Friday morning! .............Not many weeks to go now......decided to try out the Pit Grandstand for a change this year.I hope to get some great night times shots whilst hanging over and looking down on the cars as they pit this year.
LMP looks a bit boring this year, but GT class is gonna be a craker....my money is on Aston with there 5 cars but Corvette won there class in Sebring last month beating the Aston`s to the post by a single lap after 12 hours of racing, so it gonna be very close this year (Like last year)
If we meet up and your a Le-Mans virgin and need some clues some of the best places to watch the racing let me know.
Cheers,Tom

Just updated my profile!

I have been to LeMans for the past 7 years! Last year I took my lad who was 6 for his first time. He will be with me this year also. Have for a number of years slept in a tent on the circuit, which I agree is the ultimate experience!
