Euro near parity with the Greenback and the Pound/Dollar exchange rate the best it's been in years. Stars have aligned. I just confirmed my plans to attend (BIG thank you AGAIN Malcolm).

I am in too.

Do we have any rumors about a possible event yet ?

What's the best way to set up a trip? I'd be interested in going as well. Any tips?

I've already booked my hotel and tickets - but then it's easy for us having France next door.

Getting a hotel will probably be your biggest challenge at this point. There are travel companies that have Le Mans packages. I'd call them pronto.

We've booked a week in Italy for some opera stuff not long after Le Mans, so currently trying to sort logistics of doing both. Bummer for me is that they've just moved the Festival of Speed dates to one week later so it now clashes with Italy. Was hoping to bore Roz with some solid weeks of car stuff, so now its back to the drawing board

Thanks Mal. You've been generous beyond belief.

Opera or Festival of Speed. Opera or Festival of Speed. Opera or Festival of Speed.

No matter how many times I say it, I still don't see the dilemma. :lol

I'll arrange a call for you with Mrs Mongrel, she doesn't see a dilemma either.

Met with the people from Ford of Europe. A smaller scale (but very similar) event will happen. Details hopefully within 2 weeks.

For the 2016 trip (which was beyond fantastic!) we used Air B&B. The home was great - the host was also a race official. And it was not at all expensive. Will do the same for 2017
