The longest unbroken attendance.

[24hourman]

What is the longest unbroken attendance at le Mans as a spectator? I first went in 1983 and this year is my 23rd consecutive year. Which is nothing compared to the chap I met on the startline straight a few years ago who had been to every race since 1953.

I cant beat 23 24hourman.

I've missed 1 in 14. Would have gone to that one but they wouldn't let me out!

Every year since 1994, except last year.
I was going to the Goodwood Festival of Speed (coming from Belgium), but ended up in a ditch when the steering column on my Triump Dolomite Sprint came loose. Never saw Goodwood.
Must be the revenge of the "Le Mans God" for skipping a year.
I'll be back this year !

I read my earlier post again and it makes me sound like I was in Jail!  

Just to set the record straight I was in hospital

I wanted to come but they wouldn't let me take the drip with me

Just a note for all be careful when planing a family the conseption has to be well timed so the birth is not to clash in any way.
No excuses now,
