I have applied to the organisers on behalf of DDK to try and get a parking area, laps and discount. Fingers now firmly crossed. I will be camping (if you count a 30' airconditioned American RV as camping).

Looks like the DDK camping plot might be a bit bigger that 2004 :)

Nick - you soft blouse - a 30 foot RV :shock: :) Where is your sense of adventure, outdoor spirit and desire to sleep on a cold floor gone? will you have early 911 stickers down the side of the RV? :wink:

When you young whippersnappers get to my age you will appreciate a 5 Kva generator, full size fridge, shower, proper beds etc. It is fitted with a tow bar so I will be taking a 911 to do the shopping in.....

for those of us who are camping, my tent is rather large & last time doubled as the DDK 'after hours' social room :)

I already have time off work booked :)

and of course, getting undressed and sharing body heat is the best way of staying warm on a cold night camping :wink:

In my experience Le Mans can be rather hot, so taking off clothing becomes rather more important that staying warm.

I can confirm the rather large size of hot66's kit, he had it erected in my back garden on the way to LMC 2004. Perhaps Cubist and Fraser should come along to compare notes? :evil:
