Friday - Driver's Parade - web site and route

[wishy]

Fantastic news Mr.T

We saw your formation enter the pits on Friday morning last year an thought it was brilliant.

Congratulations on your forthcoming appointment with the true royalty of LM

We will watch your practice session with admiration on MB on Thursday!!!!!

Looking at the map, does this mean that the route doesn't go into the Place de la Republique at all now?

(ps. LOL@ Rue de Bolton)

It certainly looks that way.  It's a different route to previous years to be sure.

(ps. LOL@ Rue de Bolton)

Bolton is twinned with Le Mans.

Congratulations Mr Toad and the Squadron. You will need to conserve your energy for the Rue W Wright as it is a steep hill.
Not long now Canada Phil

Mr Toad, as there is a large contingant of CAers camping on Houx Annexe would it be in order to request a fly past for sometime on Friday morning?
I am sure a refueling stop would be arranged for the squadron.

Excellent news Toady!!! 

And who said the ACO don't have a sense of humour or are not in touch with the real fans? 

Good on them!!

[Andy Zarse]

Top hole Toad!! See you and the chaps on MB in two weeks time.

[Mr Toad]

Thanks all. Plan to depart MB at 12.00, fly once or twice round MB whilst we trim the kites out, then set the compass for the village. Lunch after a trip to see how the Beermountain Racing MG is looking in the classic pit, then back to MB c15.00 to recover prior to the parade in town.

Phil -I had imagined it all to be flat, so might have to get off and walk up any hills! Beginning to worry...how far do you think it is in distance - somneone told me it was 3km...

Probably won't have stamina for a Houx trip this year, but who knows where a couple of beers will take us - especially if its not too hot! But village on Fri is definate (ACO have even provided a pass for the jeep!)

GAB - power sorted via one of your usual trackside neighbours this year! Are you on MB as normal?

Please all pop by for a beer - I'll fly round to say hello to all I know on MB.

Mr Toad, just wondering what your alternate aerodrome is, in case of inclement weather; like low dense fog/smoke from BBQ'd turkeys flambeed in LOX 

[Paddy_NL]

great going, Mr T!

[Mr Toad]

Just learned we are at the back of the parade, so smoke will be armed and ready to go! No more info on passes into the formation/driver area, but I think we are getting them down there...apparently we can bring the jeep in the parade, and will also use the new BM command unit to transport the machines in to town

See you all next weekend!

Very cool Mr.T.Hope you guys have as much fun with this as Team Impala has had with the Sebring autograph sessions.
