Anybody been before or going this year?

A mate has bought two camping tickets and has just offered me the spare.

Never been before so don't know what to expect, but I'm bloody looking forward to it (a break is also very, very much overdue). Very Happy

lol we're driving down in an old white transit 5 up with a silent genny and household fridge for the beer and food Wasted food cooked on a george foreman grill no smoky barbies for us Embarassed
usually go on the monday night boat and camp all week for the 24hr race so need to be organised..
tram service is great now its all running and a big carrefore supermarket 3 stops from the circuit.
we normally have 2 pitched in Houxe annexe but missed out on that site so are in Maison Blance which is actually trackside and you can watch from your tent if you have the right pitches lol.
its basically a 3 day party on the campsites and i have met plenty of guys there who have not even seen the race at all Thinking just stayed in the campsite all weekend lol.

I think they actually built about a dozen sports cars, but Cyril Kieft built shedloads of F3 cars (when F3 was for 500cc single bike engined cars) and Stirling Moss was a works driver and director of the company.
