The 24 hours race starts at 4pm on Saturday but the show starts around 10am. We have reserved car parking at the Le Mans circuit. I therefore do not expect us to have any problems this year. This is not necessarily easy as you may be kept awake by the enthusiasts using flash to photograph the GT40's. In the circuit there are a tremendous number of entertainments, snack bars, restaurants, drinking places and stalls offering all sorts of goods for sale.
Films are particularly expensive.
I recommend that you bring an FM walkman type radio with headphones to listen to the English language radio Le Mans transmissions which start on Wednesday and continue throughout the rest of the Le Mans event providing a commentary on the happenings. You may wish to include a monocular or binoculars to assist with your viewing of the video screen, the activity in the pits or that on the circuit. At the end of the race are the presentations etc. We will be staying overnight in Le Mans and we will no doubt arrange for a group 'last supper'. On Monday morning we will leave and drive directly back to Calias and then via the channel tunnel return to sunny England and home to more mundane activities.
