Quote, Gordon Wolf, 3/8/2010, 17:00 CST, "Taking a woman is like taking sand to the beach. C'mon man, it's France." How quickly things change in a few hours. Gordo, should not have told the wife you weren't taking the car.

Is the chateau a done deal? I've been waiting for details...unless the group is already fully subscribed.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, nobody's telling you guys anything. You're going to end up in white slavery in the the old Soviet Union.
It's a done deal. Dave & I are both on the road headed to the Texas Mile. I'll try to get Dave to update everyone tomorrow.

:eekChip and Dave,
Any word on the Chalet and available dates? I just lost some primo rooms 5 minutes from the track waiting to see what the Forum came up with Matech.
I hope we know something soon....

:eekdr914,
From what I am hearing (and feeling) you should go ahead and purchase some form of General Access Tickets or a VIP Hospitality package from one of the authorized agents.
This way you are assured to have access and be able to experience many features of the race extravaganza. You will want to have the opportunity to view the track from other vantage points besides the main strait above the pits. In order to do this you should purchase "excursion" tickets ($30+/-) from other sources. And don't forget a helicopter fly-over( $130+/-).
As far as accommodations we are all in the same boat wondering when we will have an address and confirmation. I understand the Forum folks had one Chalet booked but needed to up that to "2" because of our swelling group. Believe me, at such a late hour this is no easy task for Dave & Co.
I strongly suggest you implement a back-up plan for rooms.
Regards,
Jim

I'm hoping the Iceland volcano's ash spread over Europe ceases before our travel plans are executed. Keeping a check on my destination's closures.

meeting up at LeMans
Thank you for the suggestion. I hope though we have a plan for all meeting somewhere at some hour over there though.
Thank you for the suggestion. I hope though we have a plan for all meeting somewhere at some hour over there though.
I just finished emailing everyone at the Chalet list right now. Our 9 rooms are tentatively filled at this point, as it looks like Camilo and possibly George from CDC (the bumper delete guys) will be taking the final room.
DR914, or anyone I have not contacted would like to be in the Matech Hospitality, please contact me. I don't know what the capacity is, so I don't want to overbook based on whoever else we need to share it with.
Here are some photos of the hospitality setup we will have at the track, though of course it will be re-branded Matech. We'll be served food and drink throughout the week in this setup. I don't know about anyone else, but after the Abu Dhabi race, I am super, super jacked about this race. If it weren't for the ash situation, I would entertain dragging myself over to Silverstone. I'm addicted.

Silverstone
:lol :lol :lol :lol
Dave,
I had the same thought. I have watched that complete race twice. :banana Silverstone is very short on accomodations. During the British GP we had to stay in a trailer. GT1 would probably draw a much smaller crowd so perhaps rooms could be had. Maybe next season we can go over and bug Neilda for a while.

Can someone give me a link to the appropriate tickets to buy for the race? There are so many on the lemans site that it is confusing. Thank you.
