Alain,

That is quite a few.

I cannot claim to have watched many or any, but I was trying to camp when there were a lot of noisy cars around a few times.

Well that knocks my 35 visits to Le Sathe about a bit.  Mind you in 1957 I had no chance as my father was not interested in Motor Sport. In fact I didn't hold a passport until 1970.  :-)

58 - that's more than Henri P isn't it?  and about 75% of the total

I'm only at 30

I am at that tricky age.  Old enough not to remember lots of things, buy young enough to want to lie about its real value, and after a few beers able to act as though I'm just 10 years old (according to my children)  :angel: :angel:

28. That's like a whole February of endurance racing. Absolutely ridiculous when you think about it, a complete waste of time and money.
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Made seven trips to the Le Mans 24 Hours between 1996 and 2002,  thanks to the generosity of the Harper family, but for what it's worth, next week will mark my 43rd Indianapolis 500 (first being 1972).
Racing fans everywhere are great people ;)

35, first in 1980, missed a couple although did the classic one of the missed years so technically i was still visited Le mans that year!

That's 840 hours of racing.
