Le Mans Classic trip 2016

22 Jun 2016, 8:01pm
Due to a family illness, I won't be able to go to the Classic Le Mans this year.

This means that I have some tickets available at a discount.

2 X 3 day entry tickets - usual price €53 / £41 each, yours for £30 each

2 X 3 day parking in the Rouge car park - €18 / £14 each, yours for £10 each

I will take one of the day entry tickets off you if you are okay to split them. Fine if you are not. PM me to let me know.

I picked up my ticket from Post Office collections as I wasn't in when they delivered it and realised it it next week!!

I had better make the wife's birthday on Saturday a bit special as I will be leaving her behind for this little jaunt.

I don't think she was overly impressed when, for the family barbecue to celebrate our 21 years together, I told her I would be up at Stoneleigh. Apparently the BBQ was very nice and everyone wished us many more years together...

I was hoping to go to this but funds have decided otherwise. However, my youngest son will be there so if you see a Valvoline sponsored Lola T70 flash by, run by Raceworks Motorsport, it's one of the cars he's helped prepare.

I too have this on my bucket list to do, wont be this year, I have done some prep work on these cars that are going, the Jag will be racing and the GT is just going as a spectator.

Cheers Nick,

Very kind offer, but I am silly busy with work at the moment, and my Passport has just run out.

Will I get a Blue one next time I wonder ?

I am planning on staying tonight in Folkstone so I don't have a silly early start tomorrow morning.

Stuff piled in hallway ready to load the car

Err , is that everything ?

Might want to go through your check list again !

I need to start thinking about packing , I'll leave it till later!

The beer is in the fridge cooling down now so that's one thing I haven't got to worry about !

I did try out my old tent the other day to see if my double extra luxury air bed will fit , it does but the sides of the tent bulges out a bit .

Any updates, or more importantly, photos?

Cheers, Paul. :)
