    Best Le Mans ever?

    What a winner - 26 people across 10 cars (well, 6 cars, two vans and an invisible S14), well over 2000 beers, 8KG of ribeye (this was just Friday dinner), 24 hours of very close racing, 3 members of the Banana Splits, one Sir Rapealot, 30 hi-viz jackets, one of the best setups LM has ever seen including smoke machine and fricking laser and 3 grown men wearing the same thong.

    Stick pics, stories etc. up here, Im just about to catch a flight but should be able to update on Friday

    Same again next year?

    hang on .... 26 people ...... over 2000 beers ?

    so thats on average more than 76 beers per person ...... how long were you there for ??? .... I dont remember being there, but after 76 beers, this might be normal ?

    That's made me wonder if it's worth bringing over a couple of barrels of 'not Kronenbourg' instead next year...

    Plus the mudslide cocktails

    4 people wore the thong of shame, admittedly only 3 grown men though

    Super awesome fun times, great to meet some new people. Thanks guys how can we make it better for 2015?
    Glad I chose this year to pop my Le Mans cherry!

    What a truely epic few days! Words cannot descibe how much I still want to be there, although admittedly i'm pretty sure my internals wouldn't have agreed!

    I can't decide on what the highlight of the trip was for me, for some reason i'm struggling to remember some of it

    I'll try and get some pics off my camera and on here at some point

    i think it's already decided to mix it up next year as that was a lot of kronenbourg ( we cleaned out the supermarket on day 2 !!!!! )

    only one word describes le mans. Epic.

    Cars:epic, atmosphere:epic, food: epic, banter:epic.

    My body is broken but it was still truly epic.

    Weight would be the major problem, the van is on its limit already. I could probably get a chiller and stuff though so it would all be cold .........
