Dates for 2009 Le mans 24hr
« on: August 18, 2008, 10:15:48 pm »
Hi fella's
 I know its more than alittle early but does anyone know the dates for 2009 yet ???;D ;D
I have tried the ACO but to no avail  :( :(. The only reason i am asking is we have a very large group going next year, from several different countries who need to book plane tickets to get here first; before we set off for our cross europe trip including amsterdam the nurburgring and paris before a week in le mans  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Without doubt the 20/21 June. The ACO fixed the setting of the dates several years back making the first weekend in June the prequal and two weeks later the race, so Weds practice will be the 17th. This was to help foreign teams since with prequal in April before they had enormous travelling expenses twice over and this system was devised to cut costs.

I'm expecting those to be the dates, especially as the British Grand Prix has been confirmed for the 21st June in 2009!

No No No they will certainly clash! They are not that clever!

But my money is on the 13th and 14th. Even if it is not the 24th weekend!
