2015 date?

[Lazy B'stard]

Does anyone know the dates for next year's race? I'm itching to get the ball rolling on bookings etc.

Cheers

It's got to be the 13th and 14th.

I'm sure that it's the same number of weeks into the year, but cannot seem to  find the exact formula.

The Club Arnage Guide (excellent value at only 2 trackside beers) says "You can tell which month the Le Mans 24H race is in just by knowing it is the weekend of 11th & 12th. June starts on a different day of the week from all of the other months and in 2011 it is the only month with a weekend of 11th & 12th."

But I think it's an exact number of weeks into the year.

Yup, the 24th weekend of the year (barring odd exception), the French do have a sense of tradition    So 13/14 June 2015 is a reasonable bet.

12hrs Sebring, 12th Weekend of the year
24Hrs Le-Mans, 24th Weekend of the year.

Although, it was a week early last year. 

They usually announce shortly after the race, so I'm sure they'll be along soon!

I'm waiting too...

Did they not announce the 2013 date and then some time afterwards change it ? I do seem to recall some rebooking activity going on last year ?

Yes,  it was going to clash with one of those single seater spec formula races you see on TV a lot, and also sanctioned by the FIA so LM was moved by a week, but then the supposed F1 race never happened anyway.
