LeMans 2012 - David Donohue

[STEVEMCMORN]

I went to Le Mans 3 years running when living in the UK
we'd get the ferry then drive to the course thurs to monday to miss traffic
1 year when in us, I flew to heathrow, got train to paris and local train to le man - easy enuff


we always camped in the campsite behind the Porsche curves and would watch from the grass bank ........ but mainly we'd drink and 1 year, I didn't actually watch any of the race.

We'd go to the town swimming pool each day to shower.

Best place to watch for me is:
Start / Finish straight -- have to be a member of the ?LCO to get seats
arnage - when get a real sense of braking and acceleration of the cars

The diesels were just starting when I was there and it was really spooky how quiet they were compared to the Corvette V8s and high wining ferrari's

Visiting the town is great esp if there during the drivers parade

Everywhere is expensive ....... and we live on burgers/ hotdogs etc - never trying to eat anywhere nice as all pre-booked
