One day I'm going to go to Le Mans...and Spa....and Monaco....in fact, I'll probably end up going all the way through Europe, based on any major motorsport events I can get cheap(ish) tickets too.

ah man, i wish i was going. i went in 2003 and it was one of the most fun weekends of my life!

such a great event

Really looking forward to this.
Looks like Radio Le Mans for me, no Eurosport.

Actually Gav, my family just came back from a trip to Bathurst and took some photos of the track for me. When I get the camera off them, I'll send them too you if you want.

Nah, it's alright thanks - it's visiting the track during the big race and taking in the atmosphere I want

I have a list of tracks I'd like to visit too - Nurby, Le Mans, Spa and Monza, what's left of Rouen, as well as Bathurst.

such a shame that they've torn down all the old pit buildings ah well, we're gonna explore it on the journey down to le mans, it's a nice and convenient stop around about half way

and on topic: the lucchini has withdrawn

well my stuff is sorted and we are off for a great week at le mans tomorrow, and getting the ferry early wed morning to head down to le sarthe, i hope everyone enjoys the race!

Good luck man, have fun!

What time and channel is Le Mans on UK TV? I know about updates on EuroSport, but will it be shown non stop on some channel?
