Le Mans 2009

[white-ep82]

to be honest I would probably rather do the friday drive down aswell. What would I be missing from the tuesday-friday other than the banter and the drive with everyone?

 

[Starlet_Sam]

Qualifying, practice and Mad Friday.

Good lad Pete, you know it makes sense.

All depends if i get back into uni for the postgrad, find out thursday if i can get a place or not.
Failing that i need to find a job. does mean i can come for the whole week though

 

[Starlet_Sam]

Good Luck mate, although it won't be the same without you. Get Farqhuar on the list.

Tom is stuck in the distant land of Yorkshire at the moment. I am sure he will make it though.

 

[Starlet_Sam]

Yeah, he doesn't seem to turn Le Mans down.

Pete thats so wrong!!

Can we get stand passes this year so we can sit up in the pit bit when the race is on??? I would really like to see the start of the race from up there!!

If you want the passes you have to bend over and let a french bloke enjoy himself.
They are abit pricey. Its around 90euros so £70ish for saturday and sunday just for a seat overlooking the start/finish straight.

Hmmm I would consider it though, where we sat to watch the qualifying was ace and I just think to see the start of the race from there would be awesome..

How much are we talking???

Editied my first post, thats not including your entry ticket either.
So around £100 in total for entry and seat.

I think its deff something i would consider, that and taking a scooter to get around on!!

 

[Starlet_Sam]

Pete, my tickets were 80 euros for a seat at the end of the start/finish, down where we were sat costs more.

I just took an average from the cost of the seats this year, the ones on the start finish line are aco members only at 110 euros, either side they are 96 euros, then 86 euros.
You can have a seat in the uncovered area for 56 euros but that would be rubbish.
Like you said in your first post, prices are going up so these will change too.

 

[Starlet_Sam]

Yeah the ferry will go up too due to higher diesel prices. Once we get an idea on numbers we can get quotes. I reckon we can get 20 cars this year.

 

[Mikey Jay]

I know a few guys who may be interested. So if Doug and his mates come we'll have quite a few cars from Kent for 2009

 

[Elaine]

Do you need to pre-book these seats it really is something I think I would like to look in to if possable....

how many cars did we have last time???

 

[Starlet_Sam]

11 cars last time. Yes you have to book grandstand tickets in advance.

 

[Elaine]

Would anyone else want to get grandstand tickets????
