    They dont usualy confirm the date until later in the year. But having spoken with the press dept last week re my passes, they told me that these would be the dates.

    Stewart,

    The race out of St. James's Square ? The race on the M20 ? The race out of Calais ? The race to the bar ? The race to the omelette café ? Or that other thing on a racetrack ? :) :)

    Guys
    I am going again next year. Hopefully in Houx and 99% sure that I won't be in that heap of a Micra, maybe a Civic Type R or Mitsi Warrior truck to put all the kit in!
    I am still looking for Houx tickets though so if anyone can help, that would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ben

    The race to the end of the surfboard is by far the most enjoyable - you just need to know which bar and which barmaid.................

    I will forward the countdown clock details over the weekend.

    Hi guys - we normally go to various F1 venues but decided to add Le Mans to the calendar for '06. We arrive into CDG on that Friday am, staying at Hilton at CDG making like tourists for the day. Taking TGV train from CDG to Le Mans early Saturday am, staying at circuit from arrival on Saturday until return to the airport on Sunday - want to watch all of the race unless we get sleepy and find a tree to nap under. Does anyone have any suggestions/comments that might be helpful and/or experience with the TGV train to and from Paris?

    Thanks for any feedback - it's greatly appreciated.

    Carol & John

    Done it loads of time, both ways, no problems, although I usually book my ticket in advance, the train has been full on occasions. Great journey 1 hour, and the bus the the curcuit is outside the station at LeMans.
    Enjoy, oh I think I paid about €45 for the ticket, you can book on line.

    IMHO - part of the Le Mans experience was the drive down (and back), the cars, the people, the sandwiches, the AA man, the tolls, the police. GOing on the train you're going to miss all of that. I recommend you hire a car (Megane's are good apparently) and do the drive down.
