Lexx Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Evening. 3 or 4 of the team members are planning to attend Le Mans 24 in 2015. Since there are many Motorsport enthusiasts within the club, it's been decided to see if there was an interest to make it a semi official club trip. All costs, bookings, camping etc will be the responsibility of each individual. We plan to use a company called Speedchills. This means private camping, clean toilets and showers, provision of a bar and eating facilities within the private area. Costs depend on numbers in tents. Normally circa £250 (includes weekend entry ticket and channel tunnel return). This thread is purely to see if there is any interest and what kind of numbers we'd be looking at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bounty Bar Kid Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 To give people a better idea of costs. It costs me £225 in petrol return from croydon. Can be less but where's the fun in that??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I only knew because I googled it Folks, I know this seems like a long way off but it's really important to start planning for this now: Bookings will be completely sorted well before Christmas, and we're halfway through this year already Even if you've no interest in the racing right now, and the WEC doesn't seem to have the appeal of F1, I can promise you the 24hr race is like nothing else you'll ever experience. You'll definitely be into afterwards, as I was exactly the same before my first trip. Imagine the atmosphere of a music festival, but with lots and lots of cars. It's legendary for a reason. Do it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Very well put Dan. The moment I fell in love with it was 0130 standing at Porsche Curves as both works Corvettes went past and that noise that rattles your teeth hit me. Epic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhackyWill Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Standing in the garden by the fence of the 24h Cafe on the Mulsanne Straight, (before silly chicanes) watching the cars go past at 240 MPH about 10 ft from you..!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonPG Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Been a few times now, would definitely be interested in this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 This is the company we'd be ging with http://www.speedchills.com As I said above, it's not so much a club organised event. Everyone sorts themselves out, but we travel and camp as a group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Well after Dan's speech, I'd be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Unlikely I'll be in a Zed, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Sounds a bit like the one we do with SXOC each year, I can certainly recommend Speedchills as well One thing I would mention is that you can get the price right down by sharing a car between a few - we had 5 lads turn up in a Chrylser Voyager last year, their fuel, camping and tunnel costs were pitifully small Let me know if theres anything I can help with guys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
