Re: Stuff and Things.
Thought I recognised it...went to Le Mans over 20 years ago for a friend's stag do.
Would love to explore the wider area sometime... just so much to do before such trips are an option.

I used to own an AC Cobra replica and drove it to Le Mans several times for the 24Hr. It is quite the undertaking!JezC wrote: 25 Aug 2025 19:12 Thought I recognised it...went to Le Mans over 20 years ago for a friend's stag do.

Not been in an age, but it might be something I revisit now we have a place nearby.

Re: Stuff and Things.
Yes, would be a good opportunity to enjoy both a holiday & the race at the same time.
When I went (2004), it was just after a couple of us had finished a few years working for a F1 team, so almost a busman's holiday... ;)
I did enjoy the Gran Marnier crepes for breakfast on the Sunday morning after a long night spectating...

Re: Stuff and Things.
One year I went and it absolutely chucked down. Our campsite was fine as it was well drained, but there was camping over near Porsche curves and tents and their contents were floating off literally!!!JezC wrote: 25 Aug 2025 21:50 Yes, would be a good opportunity to enjoy both a holiday & the race at the same time.

Good to know if we ever decide to form an 'Exxos Racing Division' motoGP or Formula 1 team. :lol:
As for @rubber_jonnie s remark, Im going to take the Schrödinger's cat superposition, by not asking him to explain his comment (of the two ways it can be taken) and assume he actually drove the 24Hr LeMans race. :lol:
