Well thats the ladys, the animal lovers and anti-smoking lobby sorted. Who's next?

Kids thats whats next.  My five year old daughter asked if she could come to Le Mans and live in a tent.

My reply was "no, not ever unless you go with some else"  I really dont want her to see me doing most of the things that I tell her off for + drinking lots smoking lots and general blokeyness.  And as Le Mans is full blokes and not many girls I know what will happen!

I went motor racing with my old man all the time, from the age of 5, and look where it got me! (I drank pints of lemonade then though!)  Seriously though, I don't think LM campsites are really great places for kids (but then I tend to think that about most of the places I go to. )

I seem to think it was about 10/11 years ago.

I took my best mate and our two sons and they befriended the TWR/Nissan team

Bearing in mind they were 12/13yrs old, they assisted the team during the practices with general behind pitwall stuff and came away with loads of goodies.

ME, they would not let in.

Some times kids have a better deal, especially when a load of team members arrive for a barbie at our pitch on MB.

My son donated his teamshirt to me 3 yrs ago and I still wear it.

I too have a daughter and should have another 2 wks after the race but I can't wait to take her to Le mans. You always see dads and their little ones sat in the stands at 3 in the morning, juniors little eyes struggling but still clutching his/her lap chart and smiling surrounded in a paternal glow. Makes me all soft inside and homesick. She's only 2 but loves cars and racing. Dad took me everywhere as a kid- RAC rallies we never missed and will never forget it.   
Funny- never miss the wife tho'

When was LM hosted on 3rd June?

I had broke my mobile (truely an accident) and didn't want to queue up for hours at the public 'phone at MB and just forgot to 'phone beloved on our wedding anniversay!

She knew I and son were OK because the Police never knocked on the door.

BUT, they will never let you forget a minor misdemenour like that.

Well i didnt realised id started something?
my other alf knew abt my racing intrest before we were an item,but i must add an ex was the reason i had to give it up as a full time(weekend racer)  i think the trick is not to ram it down peoples throats ,like some people do with 'that game where 22 grown men chase after a bag of air!!!
go if ur gunna TRY, otherwise leave it to others

Don't get me wrong, I do take her motor racing but le Mans is a different kettle of fish.

Hi,
Having managed to get pit grandstand tickets i wanted,im now left with the quest to find who i am above???
The CA guide now has the pit allocation no.s ,but is there any way i can find ,where i will be in relation of which team i will be? which way do the entrances,row,seats start from etc?

The grandstand seat numbers in the Pits grandstand begin with No. 1 on the right hand side as you face it.  All the grandstands opposite are numbered from left to right as you face them.
In other words ca, if you have a low numbered seat you will be above the low numbered pits and closest to the start finish line.
