For anybody interested in a bit of history returning to Le Mans in '97,
the Bentley Drivers Club are bringing approximately 120 vintage Bentleys
to the event this year, celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the Bentley
win in 1927. Included in the gathering will be some of the original
Team Cars from '27! We're going to be let loose on the Circuit for an
hour or so on the Saturday morning so the smell of Castrol R together
with the whine of 3-litre back axles should be much in evidence!
See you there!

Hardcore Le Mans lover. First race I ever attended, back in 1972.
Stood in a TV tower on the Mulsanne Straight during practice,
watching those Matra's going by. Have been back 6 more times
over the years. 1996 being the last. Don't like the new fencing
around the track. Obstructs the view, otherwise has the same
old magic, totally enhanced by "Radio Le Mans".

WOW - this is a vey good site.
I've been to Le Mans every year since 1990 and still wear my faded Silk Cut
T-Shirt each time I go.
This year the JCC (Jaguar Car Club) will have a bit of a presence there, so
if anybody should see us there, please feel free to introduce yourself and
have a chat and a beer. Look out for us in our JCC T-Shirts etc.. some will
be staying in the campsite and some in a nearby hotel, so keep your eyes
pealed.
Personally I am a phtsics student at Sheffeild University. My Dad owns an
E-Type, which we take to Le Mans each year. Last weekend we went to the
JCC track day at MIRA and had alot of fun...... Both me and Dad spun it!!!! At the same corner!!!!!!
Anyway I'll stop boring you. See ya.

already qualified). I am an American, run my own business and

Well done on an excellent guide to the Le Mans 24hours.
I have been going to the race for the last 14 years and just wish that
there had been such information around instead of finding out the hard way.
well done
Ps for people travelling from Calais or Le Harve, watch out for the police
on the road about 3 miles out of Bernay. They dont use radar and just have
a guess my fine was 3300 francs!!

for the 24 and to the Sebring 12 hours. Can't wait till October when the
GT1 cars fanally race on this side of the Atlantic. I am an ex Brit who
grew up close to Silverstone. If there is anyone who wants to converse

Great website! I'm glad to see that so many people read it and obviously
have an (understandable) interest in this terrific event. I must say,
at the beginning of each year it is one of the first dates to go in my
new diary!!
Do you and your readers know that the ACO have introduced a special
membership category for people who are avid fans of the 24 Heures?
For the paltry sum of FF495 you get to be a member of the ACO and
can then get discounts on your Le Mans tickets - up to six at FF80
discount each, get access to the ACO members enclosure in the village,
can get seats in the ACO grandstand, get a year's breakdown cover
anywhere in France, etc. etc.
I came across this intersting phenomonen by accident a few years ago,
and have definately saved a fortune since joining the ACO.
If anybody wants further information, just e-mail me or fax me. I
brought back plenty of English versions of the ACO's brochure for
"Le Mans Club 24" from the pre-qual weekend.
Keep up the good work. See you in June.
Peter Wear.
