    Le Mans 2017

    Anyone on here going this year??

    I've just booked my boat and campsite with a pal in his RX8! Well be leaving on the Sunday and coming back on the Monday (Hull-Zeebrugge).

    Plan to stop off in Paris to keep the missus' happy!

    This is the first one in 7 years I'm missing. Going to see Guns N' Roses in London instead.

    I am going to see the FIAWEC at Spa though!

    Would have been the first I missed in 11 years ........ so I booked to see GnR @ Slane Castle in Ireland instead

    There is a fair crew of us camping at Houx, I dont think youd be able t miss us if we go with the theme we are thinking of

    It crossed my mind but with the cost of Le Mans and a going to Dublin and the ticket costs and a wedding to pay for it was a no go unfortunately. Can't wait to see them though!

    We'll be staying at our usual Château de Chanteloup! Stayed there 4 years on the trot from 2005-09, so looking forward to going back over again!

    There are some of us going over but its not really an SXOC event anymore, half the guys that come arent on the board and we pay to use the van. The problem is that once numbers go over about 30 catering becomes an absolute nightmare, the need to book is getting earlier and earlier every year as well, this year we were confirmed and paid in October IIRC as 30 pitches next to each other needs to be done early doors. Its also a boys only event which isnt very PC for an owners club .........

    Best bet if you fancy is to try and get tickets for camping in Houx non numbered and then pitch up next to us anyway, even if we cant necessarily feed you we do have beer tap, TV, disco etc ........... and of course, Naked Friday
