Just wanted to know if anyone has picked up a copy of Autosport yet, and if so how does it rate ???
Will get mine tomorrow and that will be it from then on in until I get down to LM.
-
Abs, old horse. It comes out on Thursday.
I bought the Motorsport News LM edition today - the usual cars / map / chit chat etc.

Unless your in town and you can get it Wednesday afternoon/evening ::)

Will be picking mine up today, but don't expect anything more than the usual stuff like Steve mentions. There are a couple of other features in the supplement advertised in this week's Autocar mag (they are the same publisher as Autosport) - 'How to get there' and '24 things you must do while at LeMans'.
I guess that most readers will already know how to get there and if they don't it's a bit late in the day to be planning your trip!! Secondly I bet that the CA gethering at the 'Poo bar is not on the list of essential things to do...
Will still get a copy though just to add to the collection for posterity.
-
Yup, usual stuff only the names have changed, like the compact size this year.
It looks like parking rouge and tetre rouge campsite have swapped places on their map and no mention of CA or the poo bar.
-
just got my copy - CRAP ???
not worth spending £2.80 unless you have money to burn, but a porn mag instead ;D
-
just got mine not opened it yet though although it probably is crap i still HAVE to buy oneeach year
Did I mention we leave in 2 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Looks OK, got the guide to all the cars which is handy, I can never remember them all...
Other than that, sites like this are much better for camping stuff, and all that.
-
OK, it's a bit crap but c'mon this is part of the tradition of Le Mans isn't it? Getting the Autosport supplement ramps the excitement up another notch!!
I've just read through it whilst sitting at my desk grinning like a mad woman - my work colleagues really don't get it.
i can almost hear the cars, smell the oil and taste the pain au chocolate ;D.
-
The collection of the Le Mans Autosport is all part of the build up as is the reading of it over dinner on the ferry
..not long now. ;D
-
Yup it's got to be done, even if you know everything in it (amd much more).
Useful for the entry list I find, though I buy one of the local rags to refere to at the circuit, tear off the back page and stick it in my pocket.
Resisting the temptation to open mine 'till the train home.
Your right Piglet, just buying the guide bought a little of the Sarthe buzz to Holborn. We'll be on Speed Ferries One exactly a week from now.
-
New 'slip it into the cover of the folding chair' format is pretty good as is the list of runners and riders other than that nothing new. Good Aston poster in the main mag, taken a pic and is now the wallpaper on me mobile. Um check the tent next I think................ ;D
-
It will give me something to read at work anyway... and on the way down... and while we're there etc...
-
I just picked up a copy, yet to have a good look but seams the same but smaller. I'm sure they use words like compact and handy to make it seam better but it is just smaller.
Glad it came out before we left! ;D

Jeremy dont forget to make your way to Houx annexe this year will you? Come and say howdy
Bill :D
-
Certainly will, I'll PM you my mobile number.

You are right piglet, it may be a bit crap but it just adds to the excitement of knowing that it is just a few days away ;D.
At work today we were listening to virgin radio. They are playing the autosport le mans advert every half hour. As soon as it comes on we start talking about next week, previous years etc. and don't get any work done.
This time next week ;D.
