Its my gorgeous sons 13th birthday and today I booked the following for him for next Sunday..... 5 fast laps on the track at Benz World in an SLS..... Lunch A under 16 off road experience where he drives an ML, I opted to watch so he can relax without Dad being in the back.... Next...

Some of my mates are off to the above event. They are in a convoy consisting of a 6 series BMW (the proper version) an M3 (the old LHD version) an old 911 and an Integrale. I wish I could join them but I am stuck here in 36 degrees of heat looking at a load of topless Danish birds by the pool. ;)

Will anyone be watching le mans coverage this year? Anyone see any of the practice and quali? Audi E-Tron sounds epic!

Anyone going to Le Mans this year?.....do MB Club organise a road trip I've not been for a few years but had some brilliant trips in the past, thinking the CLK needs a trip abroad next year. Camping in Houx Annex is the way......full of petrol head brits, riding around in motorised 4 poster...

Yesterday I surprised my little lad by taking him for his first flying lesson (he's mad about flying). He had absolutely no idea we had this planned at all. Even when we were driving past the runway itself, he was asking if we could stop for five minutes so he could have a closer look...

Le Mans has been on my list of things to do and in the pub tonight (where all the best decisions are made) I was deputised to organise so I wondered if the learned forum had any experience of visiting Le Mans and what campsites to recommend. Are there packages covering tickets and camping that...

I have never seen a race like it. Audi have prevailed at Le Mans despite the two hideous accidents which put two of the three cars out early in the race. Peugeot gave them a really hard race right up to the flag this time, the margin was about 12 seconds after 24 hours. Incredible! What an...

Just thought you would like to know that Allan McNish is alive and well (and walking about) following one of the worst motor sport accidents I have ever seen. That Audi is one strong well-engineered car. Thank God it was a closed car not an open one or the result would have been very different.

Firstly apologies for not being on here recently, more life stuff then I would care to undertake but im on top of it now!! So whos going then? im not driving this year having gone in the 55 last year where she averaged some miles an hour at a very respectable 25mpg! I shall be team one...

Was just wondering if anyone is heading to Le Mans this year?

Howdo chaps, I'm off to watch the GP at Le Mans next year with a few pals :rock:. Travelling there on the SP1 and well looking forward to it. I've been to the 24 Heures and they have a drivers parade in Le Mans Town Centre and Mad Friday & was wondering whether there is the same kind of...

I guess by the number of posts on the subject on here, that Le Mans isn't a particularly well-followed race? I truly adore the whole event, right from first qualification, and have been there on many occasions. There is a rich sporting weekend this weekend, but the World Cup and Canadian GP...

Hi Guys I was just wondering if any of you are going to Le Mans this year? Would be great to see you!! Any of the C63 gang going? let me know Cannot wait....such a great weekend :bannana: Ted

Now on BBC4. What a fascinating and at the same time tragic story. The accident was terrible to watch.

Hi, Going back 2-3 years i sold my (very missed) kit car on e-bay...robin hood s7. It turned out a guy from france won it, he came over (in a cl500 with a mate) and drove it over to france, 2 weeks ago i had an e-mai from him saying he had replaced the engine and gearbox (as well as loads of...

Anyone going down?
