Same for me.
The Nurburgring 24hr was an outstanding event for us last year - mainly by virtue of the friends we shared it with - Ridiculous behaviour all round, and the onset of the groups obsession with Jagerbombs. Last year however, I couldn't do LM (poor planning maybe - but actually a touch of genius - my wedding anniversary will never clash with LM).
This year, we discussed the opportunity of doing both - we really did have a stonking time last year - and assuming that the organisers would ever let us within 300 miles of the place again (which is by no means guaranteed given the state we left the place in last year) then we would happily return. But for many of us it would have come down to a choice - Nurburgring with its amazing road trip, INCREDIBLE roads approaching the circuit, laid back atmosphere (compared to LM anyway) and fun feeling - or Le-Mans - with all of the above minus the good roads, but plus world class racing, a more extreme atmosphere, and a more mental feel. For me there was only ever going to be one choice - Le-Mans is the daddy of endurance races - the best teams, the best fans, the best friends, and the most mental atmosphere. I promised last year that I would never miss it again. I intend on keeping that promise.
