24h du le Mans 2011

[David Morton]

Anyone coming to Le Mans this year?
This will be my fifteenth year at La Sarthe and the 12th year working for Audi Sport Team Joest.

 

[Keith]

Is the local cheese any good?

 

[Thierry B]

I'm 150km far. maybe this year (if there are no problem with my own track calendar)

local cheese ??? :thinking:

What you can find here is "Rillette du mans" with "cornichon" on good french bread.....rockonsmile

And of course, a lot of beer, especially during the race week :chug:

 

[Jon Briggs]

I'm going. Crossing on the Wednesday and coming home on the Sunday (have to be at work on the monday). Camping at blue north next to the airfield.

Do you reckon Audi can do it again this year?

There you go David, make it up to me....

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

I will be there with Robertson Racing and the Ford GT's...

 

[Keith]

Great! Bring me some Monterey Jack and slip it to David?

 

[David Morton]

It's arriving Monday and departing the following Monday for me. Parking will be the first small house (bungalow) at the entrance to the airport on the right. Friday is the rest day with only a couple of meetings in the morning.
Cheese ? may be - but I think we should have another cheese run long before June.

 

[Keith]

Much more exciting than the Beaujolais (yawn) run and if I want red wine vinegar for my salad I can always get it in Waitrose.

And to think, poor Graham Hill ended his glorious life in pursuit of the undrinkable..:sad:

 

[David Morton]

[David Sturch]

[Graham]

All this talk of cheese has forced me to yank the Stinking Bishop out.... :blank:

....and place it on some slims....:blank:

(some of you have a perverted mind)...

P.S. Gotta love english and french cheeses the best. I'm not being partisan... It's not as though we are much good at anything else these days...

 

[David Morton]

Love it when its softer - beats the hell out of some of those European smelly thangs masquerading as cheeses.

 

[David Morton]

Is anyone up for a beer and a bite to eat in Arnage on the Friday evening?

 

[James Esders]

I'm normally there. Started going in 1995. thing is I'll be trying to move out to Vancouver before or around then. I'm a Mazda Rotary fan, and this year is 20 years since the 787B won, so pretty gutted!

Same offer next year?

 

[Jack]

James, I MUST be getting old! The 787B was my second fav. Sauber c9 was #1.

 

[James Esders]

As I work for Jaguar I'd have to go for the XJR's of the same era as the C9! However I get giddy at the thought of the McLaren F1's, as they won conclusively at my first Le Mans visit. Since then I have a real soft spot for the Audi R8, as I've seen it dominate several races, outclassing the field with ease. Awesome machine! I'd so love to have a go in one. I'm not a fan of the new diesels at all!

 

[Troy]

If you're there, get down and support Ian Dawson (UK) and team with the (partially) factory backed Radical SR9. Awesome car running the Nissan V8. I know for a fact that the development has been significant in the off season...
