Le Mans in April (Endurance) .... will it be snow, rain, or heatwave

Whens the classic Bol

See link above to race24 for WEC,BSB and GP’s
(don’t know why I bother sometimes)

Anyway April 13th, weekend before Le Mans.
Make it a round trip.

Not so much sick or the great unwashed.

Classic was nearly t-shirt weather all weekend

If I knew how, I’d post a photo or two.

Got to be Valencia

Went in 2005, the ride through the Pyrenees was awsome. Its the last round and Cheste on the saturday night is just plain bonkers

Great track, and you can see it all from any of the grandstands, although we did have main straight seats above the Suzuki pit

Gotta be Valencia......great ride there and back.....excellent track for viewing.....Spanish weather, food & San mig.....and Cheste on the Saturday night....!!

Estoril is pretty good as well, Cascais provides a good nights entertainment.

Big plus's with most of the foreigns is you usually get value for money.....unlike the tracks in Brown's Britain..!!

I'm doing Jerez, Le Mans and Valencia moto gp's this year. I'd like to do Catalunya as well but I'm at a wedding that weekend.

I've been to all of the above before and they are fekking excellent for all the reasons Paul mentioned above. Dont believe him normally though as he is a big fat baldy lying git.

Merry Xmas

For me it's Assen.

But what about the NW200, ok it's a street circuit

But I have heard loadsa of good stuff about the week long event

Looking to make it over there in 2008
