Right....here we go.
This is a bit anorakey........but I thought it might be an idea to find out how many times we as individuals have visited the race and over what period of time.
I'll start with mine:-
Started going in 1998 and have not missed a year since......so that makes it 12 years

Newspaper misprints from around the world:
"After the boat had been secured above the wrecked galleon the
apparatus was set in motion by the captain's 18-year old daughter,
Veronica. Within an hour, she was yielding her treasure to the
excited crew."

Sounds like a trick question to me  I have been to LM every year in June, and often twice, since 1997 with the exception of this year. I have been known to be there for the social but not for the race (only once...) |

Smokie, No trick question. I just thought it would be interesting to see how dedicated to the cause we all are. It would be interesting to do some stats on the average attendance of CA members over the years.......including Delboy as I think he needs more than his fingers and toes to count how many times he's been. |

I went with my dad and his friends in 1978 or 1979 (too young to remember which, and he's not sure), 1981 and then a big gap to 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009 and also the classic in 2006 and 2008.
Thats a rather pathetic eight in total, must try harder.

First time for the race was 1997, but only did the practise weekend in 2003 (not the race), and practise and race in 2007.
So a total of 14 visits, but only 12 races.

Le Mans is for the week......not just 24hrs!

I seem to remember you have the edge on me when it comes to your first visit but I think we are even in the number of times. On my fourth of fifth visit I thought I might be a long serving visitor till I met a guy there who had 15 under his belt. t. |
