[Motorsport] Le Mans 2012
When this is posted I'll be well on my way to Le Mans for my main summer holiday this year. My housemate John and I are going to the 24 hours of Le Mans this year; it will be my first trip, but John's 4th. I'm very excited about it.
It's going to be very helpful going with a veteran. John already knows the schedule, the best places to watch from, where all of the facilities are etc. So there's loads of stuff that I don't need to worry about, which will (hopefully) let me enjoy the atmosphere and the racing. I'm looking forward to seeing the variety of cars on show this year, and to what I hope will be an interesting race. I've already listened to the preview shows put out by Radio Le Mans, which have really built my enthusiasm up for the entire trip.
The race isn't for another week, but we're going for the entire week to catch practise, qualifying, scrutineering, the drivers' parade, and all of the rest of the events in the week leading up to the main event. I can't wait, and have bought a ridiculously large camera memory card in anticipation of taking huge numbers of photos.
I won't have internet access for the entire holiday, which will be rather nice in some ways. I'll blog about the experience on my return, and I've scheduled a couple of posts for next week to fill the gap.
