So you're a Van Catre Du Mans (spelling) veteran. I went to my first one in 1995, the practice, qualifying and race. The atmosphere is so increadible, especially at the start of the race. I also remember that year on the thursday when we just got down there we went to the circuit and around the back. Usually they have people asking for passes etc. at the pit area, but they didn't so me and my dad and freinds walked straight into the pit area. To get into the pit lane he waled through the Harrads McLaren garrage whilst they were preparing the car. Derek Bell was also in there and we talke to him for a bit. Then we strolled down the pit lane and went into other garages, and walked into the Marcus garrage and got autographs and met the team. Be it I was like 9 then, and trhey let me sit in the MArcos LM600!!! OMG the memory's. After that we went to a restaurant near the track where there was this British Porsche GT2 team at the table next to us. We turned round and talked to them. They rote best wishes etc. on a napkin kind of thing, which I'm looking at and gave us passes for the race. Though I wasn't actually allowed in the pit lane, because you have to be 12 plus, but my old man did. Soooo good!!!
Might be going back this year, hopefully. All depends on A levels. Might go down in my old mans AC (fast drive in the country) and camp it. The camp sites are amasing, as there are tones of Brits and the atmosphere is so freindly. Go for it if you can. Le Mans has stucj with me for years.
BTW i fully remember doing the childish antics of the ferry trip back when I went in 1998. That was a luagh.
