Congratulations Vince!

Have to say, I admire your professionalism, restraint and dedication, you are very correct. I can't honestly say I would have come to the same decision...

See you in 15 days

Congratulations Vince!
A good decision, even though it is not only the race you are missing... You are missing the TenTenths Meeting as well! :O
Hope to see you around before you leave

Does anyone have a spare seat going in a car for just the race itself? Or just the Test Day itself? Can't take time off work, but would like to go if possible...

You will love Le Mans
Thanks everyone for the welcome!

I will be arriving to Le Mans next Tuesday and haven´t decided how because I am in Paris Right now. I´m still looking for a place to sleep as I don´t have a tent and buying that, a sleeping bag and a inflated mattress for only once seems too much. Anyone has 1 place in his tent or caravan? that would be REALLY helpful for me. Otherwise, which other options I have? (maybe I can check other forums...but don´t know many).

Thanks for your help and the countdown has started!

Hi Alex, there is a spare space in my tent on the ten tenths international camp that you are welcome to use. If you message the international camp thread on the forum then Kenn (who organises it) and sort you out.

It is a fantastic place to stay during Le Mans and you will be surrounded by people from across the world who all love the race!

I thought about starting a security at LM thread, but don't like the idea of it. My question is anyone taking any extra precautions this year and does anyone know whether the exterior (ie Blue Nord) campsites will have better fencing/ perimeters?

Well, that's me packed and ready for the off. A couple of things to do on the way to meet Ayse at Portsmouth, so I'll hit the Log Out button and wish everyone who's going a very safe journey down to La Sarthe.

Looking forward to seeing everyone over the next few days!

Yep, I'm all packed up as well. I seem to have an awful lot of stuff this year! Just been for coffee with the missus and now chilling for a couple of hours before I head off for Portsmouth at about 11.45. So this may nor may not be my last post before the off.
