It'll probably end up with a straight to DVD/Video release here (didnt "Driven" get the same treatment?).
I wish that Driven had gone straight to DVD, then I wouldn't have wasted £6 on the cinema price and 2 hours of my time ! Dreadful film is an understatement ! Agree with that, the "Driven"-DVD should be used as a frisbee, at best

You mean if you order camping tickets from the ACO, they actually allocate you some? Yes, they always did. I order by email (usually about 10 months ahead), give them my credit card details and my postal address and it worked fine the last years. They even sent my tickets to Vietnam (where I'm living now) by registered mail. Only drawback is that often I didn't get the campsite I was asking for, e.g. this year I asked for Expo or HA and they sent me Beausejour, but that's still better than nothing...

The TGV takes about one hour. I once took it on the Thursday prior to the race and just bought the ticket at the railway-station in Paris, had no reservation, but may be I was just lucky. In LM it takes about 15 mins by taxi from the train station to the track. There are also direct TGVs from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to Le Mans.

I think it was 1986, when he did it with Hans Stuck and Al Holbert!!!!
(Got another picture of him from that year, celebrating it together with Hans in the pits, but I don't know how to insert.)

For those of you who want to play it safe, this is the drill:
Speed limits (unless otherwise signed): Motorway: 130 kph (110 in wet conditions) Open Road (Dual carriageway): 110 kph (90 in wet conditions) 2-Lane-Road (Most Route Nationales: 90 kph Town: 50 kph Conversion to english money: 1 Mile = 1.6 km
Alcohol limit: 0.5. Some people exceed this already after 1 or 2 beers, so better stay clean completely. Don't underestimate your hangover-level from the party the night before. After serious drinking even 10 hours of sleep might not get you down below the critical level.
Seat belts: All passengers (front and back) are required to wear them.
Stopped by the police: When the police signals you to stop, you are expected to pull off the road, switch off the engine, wind down the window and remain seated. The cops will come to you.
Fines: Can be heavy. I once paid around 300 Euros for overspeeding by 35 kph on the motorway.
Latest trend: They have started to measure the gaps beween cars on the motorway by using helicopters. There seems to be a minimum distance, but I don't know what it is. So if you hear a chopper and your car is not equipped with some anti-aircraft-gun, keep some distance;-)
Cheers

Hi Paul,
we might have a spare ticket for Camping Beausejour, but I cannot confirm yet, in about 2 weeks I will know more when it becomes clear, with how many cars we'll go to LM this year. If you are interested, let's stay in touch. The ticket is 35 EURO (face-value). Cheers
Werner
