Lewis, can't access my account online at the moment,
am going through lemans.org...will call them tomorrow and let you know,
Regards,
Enzo.

Thanks Enzo, you're a gent!! Just think I'd rather park with you guys and enjoy the drive in and out of the area. Think I have been to Le mans 9 times and Classic LM twice - still don't know my way around AT ALL.

Ill be popping down a few times to see you guys, might surprise you for breakfast one morning, waking up the campers in a similar 'Larini' style to this:

Also, there is a GP on the Sunday night, would you mind me bringing my guys down, maybe 10 of them, and have a BBQ and a bit of a party?

We will obviously return the favour, our Farmhouse is halfway between you and the track, and has a pool, you will be welcome to drop in if you dont want to trek the hour back to La Butte to chill, take a dip and freshen up.

Not my house obviously... but that sound like a right laugh and great way to get rid of the excess beer. wine and BBQ meat! Should be back from the track by 6pm and don't need to be at Caen until 4pm next day. Biiiig night :)

I'll run it past my mate, see what his work schedule is like... but I might try and get down 24hrs earlier. There is so much to do down there, driving the empty track before the race and beating the crowds is fantastic!

Thanks Enzo for sorting that parking pass - let me know what I owe, can sort now or at the cottage, pounds or Euros, up to you.

Hi Enzo,

Looking at your time into Calais you will be going through way before I am off the Le Havre ferry.

Discuss more at Bristol AutoItalian event

No problem Paul...I figured 2 1/2 hrs drive, then an hour or so for lunch...bit of shopping...some sight-seeing :D :D
What I really mean is that it will probably take me 4 hours to get there!

Ahh well, if thats the case superb and no worries!

Better to travel relaxed and take in the scenery

I was shocked at how far Calais is from Le Mans, hence doing the Caen run! If you have the time though, it's not an unpleasant drive.

Also depends what time of night you're there... joined the guys Friday night / Saturday morning at 1am! God old Loz waiting up for us with a beer though, happy days :lol

Fingers crossed my mate can get Thursday off work as well, would love an extra day of driving and soaking up the atmosphere. And getting Peter lashed!!
