Default LeMans 2007

Since the ALMS race series looks like the 'vettes will be racing themselves, looking at going to 24 Hours at LeMans. First time, probably want to camp, not taking my car ... need good info on organizers, groups, etc. Would be nice to commune with Forum members if possible. Not a joiner, don't belong to a local club, but if that is the best place to obtain info for this event, attendance at the next local meeting is possible. Appears that a lot of Forum members have experienced the event, sound advice appreciated. Thanks!

Still waiting on the info from Corvette Europe, but you can sign up here.
I'll probably go with them too this year... Will be my first time and I'm also waiting on information. But I look forward to spending the race night in a tent.

We have two week roadtour in head of us. 3000km (1875 miles). We leave from Finland and go to Germany by ship. Drive from Germany to France and first stop at Le Mans. After Le Mans race we head to Nurburging. And Finally go to Hockenheim and Euromeet. Total of 17 Corvettes and two service vehicles leaving. 30 People. Going to be one thrill ride.

Sorry but our website is in Finnish but check it out:

Revised Le Mans lineup sees Belgian Corvette team gain entry to Le Mans

news: http://www.planetlemans.com/cmsv2/in...k=view&id=2505

Rollcentre Racing has sold their Radical SR9 (LMP2 car) to Embassy Racing. Embassy doesn't have any entry to Le Mans so they won't be there. Rollcentre will be able to give more effort to their all-new Judd-powered Pescarolo shown in the links below

http://www.endurance-info.com/2007_LMS/00_HTTT/06.jpg

http://www.endurance-info.com/2007_L...lcentre_18.jpg

As a result, PSI Experience will race their Corvette C6.R at Le Mans which they raced last year in French GT, Le Mans Series races, and two races in the FIA GT Championship including the 24 Hours of Spa. They will race in FIA GT this year.

http://fiagt.com/

http://www.lemans-series.com/2007/uk/index.asp

http://www.psi-motorsport.com/racing/index.php

There will now be 15 cars in GT1 and 11 cars in P2 as a result.

I thought this official website (from Europe) was working a few months ago:

I emailed them to ask about what will be going on (after checking the website and not receiving anything after signing up for info last year), they answered that Corvette is not doing arrangements this year, but I can order tickets from www.corvettelemans.com.

I emailed them back that the site wasn't working and they excused themselves, said the site had been taken down and I should order from www.lemans.org.

Sendt you a PM.

Any chance for a Norwegian to hook up with you guys ?
I plan on a Europe trip and convinced my girlfriend to go and watch LeMans.
Participated in 2000 and 2005.

Where are you staying and where did you get tickets ?

TIA

Rune
