The race is on the 17/18th of June.
Tickets were 350€ each for a six day tour, with everything arranged, camping, bbq, tents allready put up for us,trip to see the car introduction in LeMans city centre ASO. Im sure you could find it cheaperor arrange it yourself.
Me? I ordered everything through a local travel agency, cus im a lazy/comfy bum.
We will be leaving Randers on the 14th by bus for six days of pure fun and drinking - remember: Motorsports and alcohol = good

350 is pretty cheap for a 6 day tour. I spent 250 euro 1 weeken at the Ring. 100 euro for 8 laps and the rest was GAS!

No rotary this year.
We sleep in tents, after a whole day of drinking, watching the race, you dont need a comfy bed to fall asleep.
And you get the best wake up music in the world

OC94Rx7 and I are both going with some other guys

The travel agency that we use arranged a six day trip, we leave Denmark on the 14th of june by bus and is back home the 20th.
There are showers everywhere along the campsites, my advise is to use the ones where you pay for it as they get cleaned very often. I know i will gladly pay a Euro or so to have a clean shower.

The race starts at 5pm on the 17th and ends 24 hours later.
You could probably go just to see the race, but there are so much more to look at, like practice - qualifying, supportclasses aso. In 2004 when i was there they had gotten alot of the old Group C racers to do some warm up for the actual race. Trust me, if you been there once - you wanna go again and again
Some people arrive a week before just to find a good camping spot and check out all the yummy streetcars there.

Here is a link for you, there are quite a few videos to download.

thats great , 6 days !!!!!!! ok yeah im like you for the 1-2 euros for cleaner showers !!!! are you guys a lot to leave from Denmark ?? cause if i could get in with 1 or 2 (not more) rotorhead friend(s) thatd be great, we'd manage to leave from Montreal, Canada and be there the day before the bus leaves, so ill be able to meet before !! ... you guys speak english a lot ??? cause i speak mostly french & english :P !!!

but its not for this year more for the 2007 Le Mans and from what you said , you seem to have been to a few, so i guess youll be going next year too !??

Seriously just take the plane straight to France. It sucks to spend 16+ hours in a ******* bus, I hate it and might get an RV or the like next time.
Offcourse getting there in a Rex would rock, but mines not allowed on the streets plus it wouldnt be a comfy ride haha
Oliver and I both speak english, your french could come in handy allthough I allready know how to order beer

Let me know if youre going anyways this year, you could get my cellphone# so we could meet up.
