Make sure you both take a little radio so you can keep up with the action on Radio LeMans. If you get there early enough, go into town and watch the drivers parade, night qualifying and the pit lane walk.
Make sure you watch the cars going through the Porsche Curves at night and braking into the Ford Chicane. Try not to camp next to any mad Dutch people or anyone with a generator. Have a wonder around the campsites, as there are usually some interesting cars about. Make sure you are near the start finish straight at the end so you can get to see the podium.
On Friday there are normally lots of drunken fools stopping traffic somewhere and demanding burn outs – usually fairly amusing. There is often a bit of drag racing going on a camp site somewhere on Sunday night too. My favourite race was a London bus against a ’60’s fire engine! If you have a couple of “pub bikes” then they are well worth taking for getting about on.
It’s a great event and should be a great year with at least 3 manufacturers (maybe) able to win in LMP1, plus the new Nissan which is an interesting car.
Oh and if it’s hot, make sure you stay hydrated – and not just on beer!
