Bart :thumbs:

I'm already wanting to come along

Ha ha you can drive, I will do the bar :-D

I cocked up the hotel bookings for a large group of travelling down .. so we will now be arriving on Friday lunch time.

My usual plan is to get up early on Friday morning & drive as much of the circuit as possible before they close the roads at lunch time

Just do it the other way round, we normally hoon round it on the Monday morning early !

I'm heading down with Goeff aka Leins in this......

And this is the support vehicle for all the essential supplies! :drinkers:

Do many normally hang around until the Monday morning then? Only reason I ask is the tickets for camping are for Thursday - Sunday, but presume they don't kick you out straight after the race?

had 2 years of CLM where I stayed Sun night ( this was the early days though) , its quiet as the circuit empties so quickly and then there is nothing else to do.

Last few years we now head off Sunday & get a hotel in Rouen, have a nice evening out followed by a comfy bed to catch up on some sleep:thumbs:

For me CLM is as much about the road trip on the back roads as it is about the event itself

[LeinsCSL]

Thanks. Yep, that could be the thing to do after three nights sleeping on the ground

We rent a house but as you say the campers have to go on the Sunday after the race.

At last an event I don't have to drive to and Geoff can whistle and sing along to his music collection at his hearts content :hahaha:

[MarcM]

Good stuff Alex!

I've not been to it before, but have heard good things, and as it's only every 2 years we decided to get it booked and head down to it for the summer road-trip next year

Been twice and it's brilliant! Derek Bell stays at Hotel du France in La Chartre sur le lior which near is where my dad is from, seen him in 2010 getting into his Bentley Continental GT Speed.

I'm disappointed he doesn't bring his 924 CGTS

Just seen some of your pics from the previous one Marc, and they look great. Seems to a proper range of cars turning up at it

[LeinsCSL]

Anyone else decided to go down to this? Should be good craic

Just starting to get my E30 ready to come out of hibernation now

[leaded]

I'm heading down on the Thursday with my CSL, another CSL, E30 M3, ZM coupe, Elise, GT3 RS and a couple of other cars. Will keep an eye out for the E30, looks lovely. :thumbs:

[LeinsCSL]

^^^ That's a nice convoy, will keep an eye out too :thumbs: :beer:

There's a PH lunch thing on Friday that we're thinking of going to as well
