The road to Le Mans 2018

[GeoffCapes]

The JK gig is at the Le Mans MMArena which is in Le Mans and not at the circuit and is a paid ticket event. Its caused a bit of a hooha as it should be free and in the track.

Quite. Surely entertainment should be at the track. It's not like the tickets are cheap or anything is it?

 

[Spartacus]

Id pay to see him on the Friday if anyones interested . Would be something different . Usually the act they have at the curcuit are n't all that . Last year it was Kool and the Gang ( with out the Gang ;P )

 

[Dan!]

Seen him live before, I’m not a fan of his music or him as a performer, so not for me. I’d rather sit and drink a case of corona on my own and obnoxiously abuse you on your return.

More of a Cotton Eye Joe fan?

Tickets have been released:
General admittance for race week: €82.00/£75
Parking Expo for race week: €36.00/£33.50 (split between driver and passenger)

Once we get the 2 or 3 empty places filled, Ill probably start taking the money (£100 est) in March 18 for these tickets, gites (for Les Blot (£160pp), Waynes and Guys pay on the day, Le Bois being handled by Stevo separately) the ferry (£255 split between driver and passenger).

I will then request a second payment for the hotels nearer the time at £100 per head for the two hotels plus about £20 a head for split of booking fees, DHL delivery and the Les Blot BBQ and Pizza night.

Must resist!!

 

[Felonious Crud]

Must resist!!

Oh, no you mustn't!

What you must do is buy my GTS before it lands up with Dickie (or after, if you prefer) and go to Le Mans in style.

 

[conaero]

Must resist!!

A seat with the MLC is still glinting at you or there is one space remaining for a car and two, if you need some help in your decision (and buy Adams GTS!):

-Warm sunny evenings of BBQ's, drinking and motorsport
-Blasting through France, rattling your exhausts off the old, quaint town buildings
-Good times, good food with good friends
-Something to look forward to, to help you through these dark winter days
-Banter overload!

Enough said?

And I will not make any comment about you being an ex-pongo or say how wonderful the RAF were...

 

[D Walker]

I know all the good bits,
I'd initially said no as the "event" I am planning for at work was scheduled for end of April, thru May to June - Its now been moved to Oct and the trip was full....

Wonder if I would pass Damo's exam, I've a pair of Grensons after all......

 

[midlifecrisis]

So are you in? If so, jump in with me and come down the night before and your car cam stay on my drive/ garage.

 

[D Walker]

Well the boss (wife) has approved budget and the guy I work for has okayed the time....

Sign me up with Martin please...

 

[zagatoes30]

Bloody ****, he's made a decision at last

You won't regret it, Le Mans is an absolute must

 

[conaero]

Well done Dave...the correct decision!

One place of a car and passenger only remains, be quick if your considering it as I know of two others that are!

[philw696]

Certainly one of the most Memorable trips I have ever done so if you haven't been Do It.

 

[D Walker]

I have been last 2 years only work was looking prohibitive this year

 

[hodroyd]

I'm stoking the boilers and getting ready, vitamins are going in and booze stocks are starting to be purchased, for the weak hearted, don't worry we will be gentle and Benny will probably be poorly to get out of drinking too much..!! Roll on LeMans..!!
