Update for this event.
I have arranged to extend the deadline for our club entries to 10th January as some members missed the original deadline, so get those entries in ASAP, or wait another 2 years!
So far I have received completed entry forms for 60 members and 25 cars.

roy snook · 1st January 2006, 04:46 AM

Another Update
Hi all, we now have 75 members booked and 26 cars driving the circuit. If any members still wish to attend please send the Club booking form to me asap- must close january 10th

FredV · 2nd January 2006, 02:04 PM

Roy,

Prices on LeMansClassic.com are as follow:

Club full entry for the week end : 37€
Track time : 105€

May i ask why we have a such difference with prices from the GT40 HC prices ?

45£ (65€) for the entry ? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Don't consider my question as an attack but just a wonder, may be there is a good explanation.

roy snook · 2nd January 2006, 06:18 PM

Hi fred,
The price includes the Marquee that we hire for our pitch, alternatively we just have a roped out area!

roy snook · 2nd January 2006, 06:21 PM

Fred,
almost forgot the BBq saturday night also [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]

Frank Catt · 2nd January 2006, 06:33 PM

I trust that all of you going to the classic will support Robin Batt (GTD Owner/Racer), who has had his entry for the 2006 race accepted in his Jaguar E type.

roy snook · 3rd January 2006, 01:42 AM

Frank.
we'll be rooting for Robin i'm sure
Its good to see your making the pilgrimage with us also this year.

FredV · 3rd January 2006, 05:32 AM

For those attending Le-mans Classic in July and wanting a cheap ferry crossing that is
within a two and half hour trip from the French ports try LD Lines.com they offer
Portsmouth Le-Harve overnight crossing for Car and Driver £192.
And I have been told the service is excellent, I think they have taken over the old PO
route, a bit dearer than Speedferries Dover - Boulogne crossing but at least you don't
have the 300 mile trip down to Le-Mans,
Anybody on the Monday 3 July Night Sailing ? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]

Maxiboy · 26th February 2006, 03:47 AM

For anyone interested in joining in convoy etc. I am going over on Wed 5th July 07:30hrs (FastCat), and returning on Monday 10th July 19:00hrs (normal ferry). Crossing from Poole to Cherbourg.

If anyone is interestd in doing this, get in touch (by email preferrably). I could put a few people up (or find somewhere local), and have off road parking for several cars. Only 5 miles from my house to ferry port.

roy snook · 11th March 2006, 04:38 PM

Update, I have received the paperwork back from france and it seems we can still get a few more cars into this event but need to confirm before wednesday 15th so if any members missed the original deadline [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/zzzzz.gif[/img] but still want to attend with the club and drive the circuit, contact me ASAP!

Fred/Belgium · 12th March 2006, 05:17 AM

Roy,

Is there hotel booking or anything else you have foreseen within the group ?
I am not sure what would be the best accomodation option to be together or is everyone taking his own initiatives ?
What about the French/Belgian connection?What are your intentions?
