What did we learn?

Not to take so much camping gear that there's not enough room in the car for a few cases of wine - not that we had time you understand, just 5.5 hours delayed at the tunnel.

Go to FoS and let myself back in to work gently

The security bods over at Antares were looking for any alcohol and I was searched there twice (but had nothing).

Over at the main entrance opposite parking blanc it was a bit more hit & miss.  Got searched twice in one day then not for two days.

Just hoping that you early arrivers have dried it all out before we get there on Weds.

Stay safe, campers!

Oh joy 

Forecast is rainy 

Agreed, Barry.

The ACO's website is sadly lacking in what we Brits call "useful information".

Seem to recall trying to catch the southbound navette towards Porsche Curves in 2012 but got bored/sober waiting.

P.

Probably the navettes, but I'm having difficulty finding the detail.

According to the main ACO website there are 10 routes, but no actual map!

Ted Nugent - Cat Scratch Fever
The Cult - Honey From A Knife
NERD - She Wants To Move
Wilko Johnson & Roger Daltry - Going Back Home
Guns N' Roses - Welcome To The Jungle
Frank Zappa - Crew Slut
Frank Zappa - Catholic Girls
Johnny Winter - Self Destructive Blues
ZZ Top - La Chartreuse
Killing Joke - Love Like Blood
Killing Joke - Wintergardens
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Gimme Three Steps
ZZ Top - I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide
Airbourne - Runnin' Wild
The Jim Jones Revue - It's Gotta Be About Me
Rainbow - Can't Happen Here
Van Halen - Beautiful Girls
Van Halen - Why Can't This Be Love?
Pink Floyd - Run Like Hell

Now that I've re-visited I think I might perform some editing

My favourite weather app (not British) is now showing the forecast for the week leading up to race day, so I reckon that it's time to start the perennial "when will it rain" thread?

If I remember correctly there was a call-out last year for anyone with spare vehicle passes on the Bleu Nord?

This might have been mobility related, in which case was it Colin?

Whatever the correct answer we have two passes that will not get used this year.  Though we have 6 pitches for 10 happy campers we are arriving in only 4 cars, therefore there are two going spare to a good home.

I stress that these are vehicle only and will not include a camping pitch.

PM me if interested.

Paul/Landman

That looks like the deal that I signed up to last year.

Bumpetty bump...

Has anyone heard more about this?

Just seen a similar question being posted on the Midweek Motorsports thread on Facebook.

2 x car batteries.

I have two old batteries from two previous cars.  The batteries were not that good at holding their charge while strapped into the cars but seem perfectly capable of charging various gadgets (mainly phones) via a 3-way USB adapter, which has 3 x twin USB adapters so thereby giving a total of 6 charging points.  And even that's never enough!

I keep them charged & conditioned for a while before leaving for LM and that way they provide most, if not all, of our on-site charging needs for 4 or 5 days.

That reminds me, I must go and start the charging & conditioning...

Received our camping pitches from Team Langoustine yesterday.

We're on rows 82 & 82.

However I have U82 & U83, then V82 & V83 plus W83 and T82 so not exactly a rectangular plot.

Just wondering if anyone has the pitches next to us and is there a swapsies opportunity?

It's just my OCD-ness wanting a nice 2 pitch x 3 pitch set up this year.

Thx

Paul
