Le Mans 2018 (16th/17th June) - Who Is Going?
I know, I know, early to start this thread. However...
I took my wife for her first time in 2014. In 2015 she was in school and so couldn't come back with me, last year neither of us went. This year I will be there and I offered to take her, however she chose not to because she knew she would be starting a new job now that she is done with school and has her new degree. Was just doing a video chat with my Mrs. while I am away on a business trip. She's bored at home while I am gone so she's cleaning out a closet at home. She told me she found her little Radio Le Mans headset and her lanyard and ticket and that it made her sad that she is not going. So I said, well I guess that means that we'll both have to go next year then, right? She said yes, she thought we would both have to be back together. That's all it takes for me, I'm going to mark that down as a yes. |

I'm going to try something ambitious in 2018: Indy 500 and Le Mans in the same year.

Well as you have been warned before "Le mans is addictive" looks like you have caught the big bad and your wife is well on the way to being the second addict in the family. See you soon

And, of course, 2018 is a 'Classic' year so double the opportunity to visit La Sarthe.

Might even do it three times, certainly the main and classic but the test day is also likely

I was thinking about giving 2018 a miss - we've been going to Le Mans every year since 1997 but Ginetta should be in LMP1 in a big way and so I can't really miss that!! Although I did manage the Dubai 24hrs this year and have been trying to tee that up again for next year... (need to get management approval for that tho.) |

Yes I will probably be going again in 2018. After not going this year due to my Mum's and Dad's wedding anniversary. We are expected to be back in 2018.

Well I got approval to do Spa next year while watching this year's race on the telly. I said it is a track I want to go to and Fran said you had better go next year, especially as I will have finished work for good and wil have plenty of tie (unless she organises a very long jobs list )

I'll be there, I may be unemployed right now but there's no better motivation than going to Le Mans to find a job!
