So who fancies a weekend of 200mph cars, a blast down some quite roads and the odd beer or two ?
We've been talking about the idea of travelling down to Le Mans for the race on the 12th and 13th June for a while - I think it started in the bar at SM3, and has continued from there
Some of the board regulars have been there before, some, including myself have not. As I understand it there's loads of different ways of sorting out the journey, camping, and watching the race, but to give an example there are 52 cars travelling down from the UK already, all from the PistonHeads site
Most of the people who have been before suggest getting there on Thursday afternoon, and settling in for the weekend, then returning on the Monday morning. (Driving on Sunday evening is usually very painful)
Also the tickets are

Who's up for it ? ME
When do you fancy travelling ? Whenever everyone else is going
Where do you want to travel from ? (Dover, Folkstone, Portsmouth, Poole) Poole
What type of campsite do you want ? (close to track, not the best facilities or 5-6miles from track with good facilities) Don't fancy camping

Me and H
When do you fancy travelling ?
Thur sounds good, go with the majority
Where do you want to travel from ? (Dover, Folkstone, Portsmouth, Poole)
Whatever cheapest deal, and best journey - presumably Dover-Calais the shortest crossing, so cheaper?
What type of campsite do you want ? (close to track, not the best facilities or 5-6miles from track with good facilities)
One with hot running water, full English breakfast facilities, clean lavs, showers, on-site bar, dancing girls - or am I being unrealistic?

Me & MJ
When do you fancy travelling ?
Need to decide what I am going to do about SM5. Might go just for the end of SM5 and have a week in France ending with Le Mans.. If not, then I will prob skip SM5 and travel Thurday.
Where do you want to travel from ?
Anywhere but Poole
Went from Dover last time I went to France, but not sure which is best for Le Mans. Actually, unless you get on a SeaCat, I would rather have an extra drive to Dover/Folkstone and a shorter crossing. IIRC its about 6 hours on a ferry from Portsmouth -> Cherbourg.
What type of campsite do you want ? (close to track, not the best facilities or 5-6miles from track with good facilities)
Better Facilities would be nice, but depends on how easy it is to get to the track for the weekend. I think maybe on track with the basics would be better.

Definately up for it! Willing to fit in with the majority I think! Think the camping is getting booked up fast though so we do need to move on this soon.
hapy to help if I can... not been before though
