Euro Road Trip & Le Mans 2012

Events Past events
#1

We are planning to attend the Le Mans 24 Hour race again this year. It falls on the weekend of the 16th & 17th June 2012.

Our intention is it extend the usual trip from a few days to a week, make a Euro Road trip of it and take in the Stelvio Pass before the race. It’s quite a distance but should be good fun and will start on Sunday 10th or Monday 11th June.

If you’re not up for the visit to the Alps, we can still all meet up at Le Mans for the race weekend and take in a few beers, BBQs etc.

Any interest?

So far Michael & I are on board.

If you need further info, let me know.

That sounds like a truly awesome trip. I’m sure funds won’t allow for it but I will keep it at the back of my mind, just in case.

Sounds like an amazing trip.

I make it about 2000 miles to the pass and back via Le Mans.

I’d love to go, but it’s a bit rich for my blood!

I may yet do Le Mans though!!

Marty,

It is a fair trip, but it’s Michael’s 50th B’day next year so that’s the excuse.

If you still fancy Le Mans let us know, I think the usual team has split into two, so we’ll be going via Stelvio and the rest directly to Le Mans a little later in the week.
