    LeMans 24hr 2011

    Another year, another LM down!

    Alot of photos, mix of straight from camera, raw, HDR and iPhone, enjoy!




    We started at midnight as usual in Nottingham...







    Made it to Dover after the bombsite that is the south in good time.



















    Dunkerque



    Lovely and quick RS!







































    We arrived at Karting Nord, about 80metres from the track! However the small corner we were given had pits and huge boulders sticking out of the ground, however 'Camp Moaty Quarry' wasnt so bad, back in the posh camping next year though!!














    French horsepower, soft as sh*t lol!



    Caught qualifying, epic high up in the grandstands!







    The AMRs, shame they lasted about 10minutes in the race!







































    Team Oreca carbon fibre workshop...



    Excellent, one day!!



    French cuisine... Bab flavoured crisps!



    Man food







    Always enjoy a nice fire!



    borrowed some furniture from burger van



    Ingredients, Hobo barrell + 1 full size pallet and a dab of 95ron.



    Mad friday kicks off...











    Quite a few nutters out...















    When the Soman security put a temporary halt to the fun the loonys come out to take the pi55























    LeMans relic Bentley!















    Decent launch, much better than all the dutch in their numerous Subarus!



















    1 series M-sport!



















    Random men in a sofa on a van!











    Poor Evo!!



























    Always fun picking out the Englishman to ask him to take a snap of you and your mates



    We went off out into LeMans friday evening, this chap, one of many wrestlers were camped right by us, they'd been on the sauce all day long and yes that is a Go-pro strapped to his bollocks! We got into quite abit of trouble but that another story!



    Old Skool cool!











































    Low!! and im short wheel base!







    Switzou!! Of PSC fame with me and Kyle, top lad!



    End of the race...















    These chaps setup a champagne dinner in the middle of the mash right under the podium, they'd all grown they're pork chops too inkeeping with the costumes, legends!















    Few bits collected, including Ferrari undertray and part of the number 001 Audi.



    Not ours unfortunately, good effort though!



    On sunday evening, just drove on to the track....



    Could just do the whole track, place was in desolation!



    Start-finish!
























    After a few water parks we headed back midnight tuesday!
