how many times have you been to le mans?

[termietermite]

My Dad drove me down the Mulsanne straight in '61.  Doesn't count I know but it felt good to us.  Mother and sister in the back were very puzzled!  Sadly, never did get to go until the great old boy died in '97 - always feel he's about though.

first went in 89, missed a few of the race in the late nineties then again, was there much to miss?!   i do  miss the Grp C's, but that sadly became a bit of a farce in the end.  also miss the fairground as it used to be... to family orientated now i guess..

[garyfrogeye]

this year will only be my third (consecutive) year fopr me.
I'm a late developer!

Del Boy I hate you.  You'll tell me next you saw the 917 in 70's too.  This is my 26th this year.

Don't take it to heart, Tom.  

I was there in 1970, but then missed the rest of the 70's due to wife/kids/mortgage etc.  Started again in '81, but missed '92, so quite a few of you can beat me on consecutives

Oppps.....  I forgot the Smilies.

A guy that shared a house with me went in the early Seventies and I was just too disorganised to sort out going.   

You can never start too early thats for sure.   I know one guy that has been going for ever.   When it was my fifth trip I met him in the Cafe on the Straight.   how long you been coming to Le Mans I asked.  oh "17 years he replied".  So that must be 37 years now.

At least I was there for the 80's the build up to the Jags winning was something to behold.   They beat Porsche and broke their dominance of the Race.  Somehow the Bentley win lacked something.

Fifth time this year for me. A relative novice compared to some, but I'm only 25 and don't envisage missing many.

[Rob]

this will be my fifth, been the last 4 years straight

[SmithA]

My 6th year so only a whipper snapper compared to most.

[shaunv156]

[Andy Zarse]

This will be my nineteenth consecutive 24hours, starting back in 88. Also been to prequalification day twice, plus of course the two Classics in 2002 and 04. So really this is my twenty third visit to the curcuit. Boy do I feel old!
