Le Mans 24 hours

Monday, October 27th, 2008

This is the start of the Le Mans 24 hours race back in 2002. It is not just a race, it is a party and much more. Hordes of Brits go out there in cars of all types and ages. Can you imagine being on the car ferry with a Bugatti alongside you and a Bentley just two cars behind? Then you leave the ferry and process down the roads to Le Mans, stopping for breakfast in delightful cafes. On the way back, the roadsides of the villages and towns are thronged with French people waving at you.


I have been to this race many times and I am going back in 2009, this time in my mate's 1950's Healey. It should be a good weekend out for the boys.
