Testweekend: Friday to Sunday
Race week: from Sunday Scrutineering to Monday after the race.
Staying in the "CA mansion" we've been using for several years now, about 20' from the track.
We should have some beds left during raceweek, so if anyone's interested, feel free to contact me !

Zarses are, predictably enough, once again at Camp C'Arnage with Team Robbo. Pompey-Le Havre Tuesday night, off to Arromanche for some D-Day 75 action, we'll take a pleasant luncheon on the coast, and arrival at the BN vomitorium on Wednesday afternoon.
I am especially delighted to announce Chris Zarse (AKA C***y) is making a welcome return after a ten year hiatus, although he's travelling after work on Friday, on the Eurostar with a drunken Melan. They will arrive in a terrible state.

Clucking Bell - We (Evil Sam & me) are not going this year - :(
22 years of first going to Le Mans - this will only be my 2nd one I will miss!
Due to family comitments (wedding) in Scotland, I can not get the pass to get to Le Mans this year,
funny really, put our name down for tickets as soon as the race finised, booked the ferry the day after they were released, 1st time in my life I have been organised - and now can't go
But don't worry, I shall have my Le Mans drinking trousers on and will be drink Loch Lomand beer and Whisky.
Have a great time all - and We shall return 2020 !

Its another now show for me this year too. Missing last year was bad enough, but two years on the trot will be sh*t. I've thrown everything at the car this year and have run out of both time and funds, so another 360+ days gives me a bit of breathing space and means the kids can eat again. Have a good one folks, stay safe and save us some room on HA next June for me and The Old Banger

Take it easy, and make sure you smuggle a discrete earpiece into the wedding so you can listen to RLM coverage...
