Hi Guys, As some of you will know i've just returned from the 2005 Le Mans 24 Hour Endurance race. It was a truly AWESOME week and i had a great time. (the weather wasn't bad either - 38/39 ;)) Details and pics can be found Here (http://corsa-c.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=14285) or via the link on my signiture to pics.

Anyway, the 2006 Event is going to have even more cars and will be a great week away.

I'm looking at organising a trip there and want to know who would be interested. The price won't be cheap (compared to the likes of PVS etc!) and i can't give prices yet as they haven't been released, but we're talking in the region of £250 plus about £100 spending money, (Based on what i've just paid with 5 other guys). That icludes Food, ferry crossing, fuel, camping fee's, entrance tickets to the event, booze, oversea's breakdown and domestic things like generator hire and cheap fridge etc. You all get the picture! Oh and the price comes down with the more that go obviously! (once i've sorted out the spend amounts when we get home you may have money back also)

Please can you just post names below and if i can get say 5-10 people interested then I'll organise the event. But i'll need to start a bit rapid so names asap please. £100 deposit will be needed by November time at latest to book camping tickets as they go like hot cakes! (This will have to be non refunable though as once the ferry and camping tickets are booked i can't claim it back if people drop out :()

This is a really ace event and the cars are so lush :D More details can be found at : Le Mans Webpage (www.lemans.org/accueil/index_gb.html)

I'll update this list if people wanna go so just please post your names only.

I would be intrested in going, love the Leman 24hr, pity aston martin didn't beat the corvettes though, next year should be great, the Audi R9 will be replacing the R8 and the Pescarolo team should be strong next year
