North American visitors to Le Mans - any requests?

[MiCarr]

Man, now that's going to be hard to fit in my suitcase!!!

[Fran]

Looks like I'll be towing a small trailer

You can take the man out of the caravan but you cant get him into a primitive tent with no facilities!!

 

P.S.  Hope the swimming pool will be included in the packing list tho!

You shoulda asked nicely...   

Yep the pool is high on the list!!

[MiCarr]

I think we can all offer general hospitality .....for the newbies/oldies  from across the pond!!!!

If you all want to congregate on the same pitch  I can offer  an 8 man tent which is going spare this year as we are all using pup tents.

Thanks for the offer Wishy, sounds like we may need it!!!

Also, Does anyone have a 12 Man tour bus that Pieter can borrow to pick us up. 

[LangTall]

Now THAT would be practicle indeed, I even have some extra passengers for you then.

I looked into renting one for a week early last year, and from the Rotterdam area to Le Mans and back for a week it was about €600,-
Excluding petrol and road tolls that is

I do have one request. Can we have a roll call of North Americans making the trip over, and where they
are camping/staying? How many times at Le Mans and where from ?  Have you ever been to Turn Ten? 

Our group for Le Mans consists of:

Me* - Wisconsin
Flobee1kenobi* - Ohio
Hardpoint* - Ohio
Warlock* - Ohio
xSander* - Holland (Not in North America, or so I'm told).
Jack - Wisconsin
Dirtyboy - California
Mrs. Dirtyboy - California
Dirtyboy's friend - California

Possibly one pasty Norweigan, too.

We're staying on Karting Nord, starting Thursday afternoon.  This will be everyone's first trip to Le Mans except our Norweigan friend, if he shows up.

I think our friend Sander has most of our unflyables covered, so we look to be in good shape.  Thanks for the offer - you guys are the mufuggin' bomb! 

Thanks buddy.

Me and my group are coming completely unprepared. We have absolutely nothing. However, I’ll be there Saturday and leaving Sunday so how hard can that be? Any extra supplies would be greatly appreciated.

Hi dirtyboy, do you mean you'll be there for a week or just the saturday/sunday of the race weekend?

Just the saturday/sunday of the race weekend.

I was already booked for the World Cup when I realized that I could also attend Le Mans on the trip. Thus I will be completely unprepared for camping/sleeping/eating – I’ll however be ready for drinking.

You know what they say on MB! No sleep till monday, so you should be good for saterday and sunday. Just pass out next to the track, the gentle humming of the car engines will put you right to sleep

[Piglet]

Yep no problem, who needs to sleep in 48 hours 

[Paddy_NL]

I thought Le Mans ended on Saturday 4PM
