Well didn't think I would be on it this year but with a few things going on at home since Xmas I decided to forfeit my deposit and decided not to venture to a field in beautiful France this June  I am now how ever off to Germany in a few weeks to battle the mighty Nordschleife for a week, but 2016 I have already hatched a plan to get to Le Mans just need to finish my car now - at least It should be done by then  |

Kev, sadly I have to join the Home Guard this year like you as I'll be working in New Zealand in June. Hmmm, not too bad I suppose but reading all the messages and threads on this forum just bring forth the painful reality that I won't be making the pilgrimage again until 2016.
Still, I console myself with the following facts.
Nope, can't think of any.......

Having been to the first two WEC rounds I think there are going to be plenty of people at LM, and plenty at home regretting not going!

I don't think there is such a thing as a quiet year!
Wouldn't miss this year, even if Nissan don't make it, I think it will be an awesome race.
Audi reliability vs Porsche speed?
Audi won at Spa, but in LM low downforce trim, only just ahead of the Porsche in high downforce kit.
How fast will that Porsche be with low drag bodywork?
Could be a classic LMP1 race and I think the other categories will be very interesting as well.

Where in NZ will you be and for how long? Dx Hi Doris - unconfirmed as yet but probably just in the immediate Auckland area attending Buildex. Whereabouts are you in case I get any free time? Steve |

I watched a lot on TV one year through the night and most of the night stuff was from the pits or in-car, this will be a huge bonus to those watching it at home - which is actually a great experience, albeit lacking in atmosphere.

I was about to book a ferry today but work declined my holiday for Friday as I am on lates next week  Trains and flights are a no go and driving Saturday would be a long old slog so I admit defeat out the money away for 2016 and I'll spend the weekend with radio LM on while I keep building my car for next year!! No more ideas on live streams yet have we? |

Not been for a few years, new house, new kids got in the way. But we're hatching a cunning plan to return in 2016, myself and a couple of others who've been before plus a couple of newbies. Meeting up for a few beers this Friday to get the proper planning underway, and to find out if one of the newbies has been brave enough to mention it to his Mrs yet!
Dad's going this year so getting him to survey the damage to MB before I getting booking tickets later this year.
Will be tuning into the Radio Le Mans feed this weekend while I work on getting kit car back on the road in time for next year!
