Le Mans 2007 *** One of the Greatest MR2 Experiences ***

Post by AW11 Forever..! »

Le Mans 2007

Its early days but after this years experience people have already starting to enquire about next year. In my opinion the earlier you decide you want to go and start planning, the better.
I'm more than happy to organise this again for 2007 which for me will be my 7th time @ Le Mans - this really is a MUST for both motorsport and MR2 enthusiasts, please note there is a high level of alcohol consumption endused...!!! ( OPTIONAL )

What could be better, empty French roads, lots of MR2's, beautiful weather to get t-tops off, fantastic campsite with pool, restaurant, bar, lake, one of the greatest spectacles in motorsport and lets not forget for the single lads, beautiful French women..!!

Thought that might get your attention - have a look at some past events from 2001 - 2005. Please note this event up until last year was organised via the MR2 MK1 Club therefore you will only see MK1's in the pictures. This event is for ALL MR2 enthusiasts as it was this year.

Looks good doesn't it - IT IS GET YOURSELF THERE HERE IS THE PROPOSED PLAN.

The event will take place mid June - we won't actually get the date till around October. This is good as it gives you time to put £10 away each week for the trip. Once we get the date then we can book ferries ( normally Dover - Bolougne around £60 ) and campsite which is called Le Chateau de Chantelouop.

Have a look its a superb facility only 15 minutes away from the Le Mans circuit and 10 minutes away from the centre of Le Mans itself.

The trip will be Tuesday - Tuesday with the race falling on the weekend, some people decide to stay on and tour France - treat it as a holiday. Honestly this is one of the greatest experiences you will have, loads of fun and daft British going-on's.

Its early but who is interested......? Go on I dare you..!!

Stuart,

I'm getting married this year too on 2nd September, fortunately my partner Joanne is an MR2 enthusiast too and always attends Le Mans with me so it was no question that we were always going - can't miss a year now.

Great to see you have added your name to the list - theres Le Mans and then theres the Club MR2 trip to Le Mans, you'll have an amazing time for sure.

Have a look at this years Le Mans link - theres a good selection of quality pictures, 2 tubbies joined us this year.

I'll keep you posted, any questions you have please fire away.

Cheers
Michael
