12 when I took Jr - but when Aston get tonked by Corvette in GT1 as it was then, that makes a lasting impression....

Best at Le Mans were these rather delightful ice-creams they were flogging near the back of the pit garages
Followed a close second by the tartiflette (sorry Fran
)....
....to which they were adding these delights in 2008
Worst by a long way - Haggis, neeps & tatties from McSporran's at Knockhill. I do like haggis but only if it's freshly caught that morning

Only just caught up with this, really sorry to hear the news. We have great memories, particularly from Camping Eau Rouge in 2007.
Very best wishes from all of Team Muz, we'll be online Monday.

Well I got the Reblochon last night to make a huge tartiflette with, we still have tinned snails from 2006 (sell-by date 2010 - they'll be fine) and I'll be getting some frog's legs tonight from the local Chinese cash & carry. Currently searching for merguez and any purveyors of freshly slaughtered horse

Indeed, there's an ill wind blowing around those grandstands at night, and it's nothing to do with the chilli I had the previous evening

Some pics from Team Muz, a thoroughly enjoyable event, shame the weather deteriorated but that’s racing – it’s spooky in the grandstands at 5am with the cars circling obediently behind the Safety Car in the fog 
As far as photos go, there are less & less opportunities for fence-free shots, which is really frustrating knowing what it was like only last year
Camp set up behind the Start/Finish straight – No chance of any sleep then
Time to look at some of the contenders – where else can you get into the pit garages and this close to the cars?
None of the Bernie EcclesCake “only people who are celebrities in their own imaginations” here
When did you last see an AlfaSud?
Mrs Muz famously asserted that this should be on a Merry-go-Round
Exhausting work, this
Back to camp for some lunch before the start of the race
Now here’s an idea. Start the race with a Union Flag. But where from – get a geezer in a Red Beret to put a target in the gravel….
….get some people to leap out of what appears to be a perfectly airworthy plane….
….make patterns in the sky….
…and deliver said Union Flag from the sky
Now that is a cool idea
Pre-race buildup – the much fancied Jet-Alliance Porsche 997
The amazingly fast and amazingly sounding Aquila CR1
One of the fancied Mosler MT900R
BMW M3 E46
Good to see Mazda make an appearance
A Cosworth Escort
Porsche 993 RSR
Marcos Mantis
Aston Martin N24
BMW M3 E92
Seat León
Lotus Elise

Oh yes, so apart from getting into the pit garages pre-race to see the preparation, where else can you actually get into the pit lane mid-race to see the pitstops & refueling etc?.......
Looks peaceful, but with 60 cars buzzing around all night it was, erm, awkward to sleep
At least someone managed to grab some kip

We've booked with WRR, I know it's dear but there's four of us. And at least you can stagger to the track in the night if you get the urge.

Don't think Litchlake is open then, we're there right now for the Renault World Series. WRR is only £30 for just outside the fence which is what we did in 2008, no problems with security etc. WWR is favourite as you can get to the track in seconds or back to your car in seconds for more beer....

Oh they love it - they didn't do Le Mans due to school etc but they did the other four so can't really complain - three European holidays in one year

Team Muz will be there, probably with the White Rabbit Racing contingent. Here’s a flavour of 2008 when we were with WRR, lifted from another forum....
The fifth and final phase of Muz Tours for this year didn’t require passports, ferries or Euros, although it was south of Birmingham so we took our passports just in case.
We were soon set up on the packed campsite....
....although Mrs Muz fancied one of these complete with roof terrace
It’s hard work all this Muz Tour business
Time to watch the pre-race air display....
Helicopters aren’t supposed to be able to do this
The end of the green flag lap, note the Mosler and TVR at the front of the field....
The ghastly crash involving Andy Neate in the TVR after the Mosler spun going over the line – after 18 months Andy is back racing, in the BTCC.
Honda Integra
Vauxhall VX220, Mitsubishi Lancer, Corvette C5
BMW M3 E46
Ginetta G50, Honda Civic, Honda Integra
A Volkswagen Lupo
Aston Martin N24
Mosler MT900
Corvette C5
Volkswagen Beetle
BMW M3 E46
Mosler MT900
Mosler MT900
Northamptonshire sunset
Delicately char-grilled beefburgers for tea
Why can’t kids keep still for just a few seconds?
The Jrs having a go at driving
That’s all from us for this year.....
.....now we can tick all the boxes and have a little rest!
