Anyone going?

We are heading down on Wednesday 8th June and staying at the Porsche Curves campsite. 9 of us are going in 4 cars, all 'stickered up', BMW 535d, Porsche 911, TVR Cerberra (sp?) Audi A4.

Im posting on my phone at the minute but I will post some pictures of the cars when I get in.

All in all looking forward to a good week of cars and beer, maybe even try and get up to the barrier at night on the Muslanne straight

Any of OCUK going?

That's my biggest worry..the weather. Camping in a wet and muddy field for 5 days won't be any fun. Fingers crossed, indeed!

Again I'm looking a people who bothered to book it up, my friend likes about an hour north so I have no excuse I could stay there, have a good time it's awesome

Well, what a awesome weekend I had! We were lucky enough to be camping on the Porsche Owners Int campsite so had security, clean toilets and showers. Had our own catering company too, but it was ruddy expensive.

I only have my Iphone as a camera but I'd thought I'd upload a few of the shots I took.

3 of the 4 cars in our convoy:

Cars on our campsite..drool...

Aston Martin One77

Have not got many good shots of the racing as I don't have a decent camera, but took this above the pit lane:

And after getting cut legs from walking through all the brambles, I managed to get trackside on the Mulsanne Straight. I got a 30s video before getting chased by security, but it one one hell of a buzz as the cars flew past pushing 200mph

I'll probably jizz all over the exotic cars if I was there.

Can't afford to go on this type of trip atm.

I am so jealous right now.

how much for the camping? or is it invite only?
Previosly we've stayed at some similar fully catered campsite slightly down the road from Arnage corner, clubmotorsport camping maybe it's name? Also pricey but 3 meals a day plus hot showers!

Camping is cheaper the more people you get on your pitch. We had 2 pitches and 9 of us paid £300 each, including grandstand tickets and ferry crossing.
