Maybe a little early but what the hell it's getting closer already..............
90 days to go until the start of race, so seemed about the right time to start this years thread.
Out Portsmouth-St Malo for the first time ever. Wednesday 7th June 20:15 Brittany Ferries
Returning to Houx with Nopanic, DFH, Jules and Steve others as per usual.
Back Caen/Ouistreham-Portsmouth Sunday 11th June 23:00 Brittany Ferries
Just myself and a mate in my Leon Cupra this year but 2 friends from Germany are meeting us at the track.
Started to get excited now!

If you are on the St Malo night boat, think about the proper restaurant rather than the self service. It's pretty good, buffet starters, served main, buffet desserts ( to die for if you like desserts ) and buffet cheese. About £30 pp, IIRC last year. It's a great start to the holiday, the most civilised method of crossing the Channel, rolls into St Malo at 08.15, so you can get a decent night's sleep. |

6 of us this year - in theory. One applied for his passport renewal this time last year and didn’t get it in time. Unbelievably they still haven’t got it! So have just cancelled that application and reapplied. If they can’t come their son won’t either so we’ll be 4. 4 (or 2) going out Newhaven Dieppe Tuesday night back on Eurotunnel Sunday evening. 2 in camper going Dover Calais out Wednesday am back Monday. Staying on Epinettes, no grandstand this year. Invested the saving in one of these https://www.cotswoldoutdoor.com/p/robens-observer-chair-D3112121.html |

Later start for us this year after normally being there for scrutineering (and the Test Day last year). Going across from Pompey to Ouistreham on Monday morning, returning on the Tuesday afternoon after. Three of us initially in two cars, one other will join us on the Wednesday. No camping for us, we'll be in the hotel we've used since 2010. We'll be sitting at the top of T17.
