24Hrs Le mans 2014 12-15th June.

[Fatboy 18]

Well we have booked our campsite again at Honduras (infield of Tet Rouge corner).
This year we have 5 Vipers on site from the UK. Morebeer (John) will again also be camping with us and experiencing our fine English hospitality :D

So how many of you guys plan on coming over the pond to Visit this year?

A few pics from Last Year :)

David and I will be there again!

[ViperGTS]

:dude3::United_States::dancingman::United_Kingdom: :very_drunk:

[Fatboy 18]

Will be great to see you guys again :)

Sadly I think the SRT Hospitality will be out of my price budget, but I'm sure we will meet up around the Circuit
We are also going to the Le mans classic in July linking up with Viper Passion.

I hope SRT will have a stand in the circuit village again? Proved to be a great meeting spot last year :)

[Glhs110]

I was told " you have to go, and I'm not going to tell you again"! So I guess I'm going!!!

[Fatboy 18]

More the merrier, I am positive you will not be disappointed.

Friday morning, we take the Vipers out for a drive around the open parts of the circuit, I'm sure we could give you guys some rides down the Mulsanne straight in the Vipers :)

[Fatboy 18]

There a bunch of guys that stay on the campsite with us, they are from the south coast region of England and many of them actually ARE UK Policeman!

In the UK we normally sticker up our cars for a bit of fun every year for the Le mans Weekend

Here are the pics of the guys cars, The two guys dressed in the USA cop outfits were in the Holden :D

If a VOI type of thing falls through I will have to install a temp gauge for the driveline of my car and meet the UK bunch when they roll off the ferry :)

[Detroit Muscle]

I love that "GTO" police car.

[Fatboy 18]

More antics from the Le mans campsites :D

[Fatboy 18]

Ha Ha, that's the Le mans Classic in July.

[Fatboy 18]

If you have a means of transport you need to also get yourselves to the 'Classic British Welcome' This is an event put on by the locals to welcome race fans, this years theme is Porsche.
http://www.classicbw.org/

They also have a Cavalcade of guest cars that leave the venue and end up at the start of the Drivers Parade, Myself, Madmax and Neilsfishing have been confirmed in the Cavalcade :)

Check out the Video on the website, it features my friend Nicks Aston Martin 'Prodrive' DB9 with a seriously cool number plate....007DBS!
and Pete's GTS Track car import from Dan at DC Performance.

[Fatboy 18]

OooooooooH :dude3: Can't wait

[mendler23]

Didn't they pull the Vipers from the race?

[Fatboy 18]

Didn't they pull the Vipers from the race?
Sadly yes,.................................So there's only one thing to do, Race our own cars down there :drive: And watch out for Five O :police-car-004:

[Fatboy 18]

Just have to pick the car with the loudest exhaust noise and support that one, Corvettes have normally been good for that :)

[mendler23]

The Corvettes definitely were the loudest at the last ALMS race I attended. Really sucks that we don't have a horse in the race, but I'll be watching...

[Fatboy 18]

Had to drive over to Neils place today and pick up my new clutch parts he just bought back from the USA for me, I wanted to test the car to see weather the clutch would hold out for me getting to France and Back, on the way back home I joined a convoy of Dunlop Motorsport Trucks all heading for Le mans :)

I'm getting excited now, just hope the clutch holds out ;)

[Fatboy 18]

A little video from Friday before the race ........My first time using movie maker so let me know what you think!

I had a little issue!
