Do any of you guys on here go? ive just got back from my 4th year there and it was great...saw a lot of great cars - 2 Enzo's, 2 F40's, Murcielago's etc etc :D Got pulled over by the french police on the way back for doing 124km/h in a 90km/h limit - we were in a queue of traffic at the time approaching a roundabout and all of the cars pulled over were british - all the french drivers got waved on. Bent french coppers!! :evil:

2001 was my first year as well and ive been every year since - like you said love it :D i watch from mainly around the dunlop bridge area but go anywhere i can get to - i watched parts of this years race from arnage, porsche curves, start/finish line, start of mulsanne and end of mulsanne.
Night racing is my favorite though - seeing the brake disks glowing red hot and seeing the exhausts flaming 8)

Ive been going almost every year since i was about 4 yrs old (im now 18 ) missed a couple due to exams etc.

Didnt manage to get there this year, parents didnt go and lack of interest from mates :roll:

Guna be there next year though! always a great week, with loads of things on!

whereabouts was you camped mate? I am always with the airtrack site which this year was in the karting place.
Yeh there was a lot of great cars around including an old granada estate that had been done up in the Dome-Judd black and white style with about 4 england flags flying from it :lol:
