Le Mans 2011 is Coming!

2011-06-11 15:00:00 GMT+01:00

 

Hello all, and welcome to my website - I hope you find something of interest while you're here.  Don't forget to sign my guestbook before you go! 

At last - it's here!  My long-awaited (well, by me at least....) Le Mans Story 2009 is finally finished.  The story follows the usual format - words and pictures.  You can access it from the link just below or from the Galleries page.

Le Mans 2010

16.06.10 - So there it is.....  Le Mans is over for another year - but what a week (and more) it was!  My first experience of the FULL Le Mans, scrutineering, qualifying, race - everything.  Absolutely fantastic!  Will I be back again in June 2011?  You betcha! 

Hopefully I can get my story and photos up a little quicker this year - keep looking in!

May 6th 2010

Well, it's getting close now!  Just 37 days to race day and only 31 to my departure for La Belle France.  Even though this will be my 25th consecutive visit to the great race, somehow the excitement is much greater this year than it has been for me, probably since the demise of those wonderful Group C days. I'm getting an increased number of visitors to my site, a few more people are entering my (admittedly too simplistic) poll and there are now camping and grandstand tickets appearing in numbers on Ebay - perhaps a case of plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.......  (That reminds me, I must brush up on my woeful French and offer an apology in advance to my French friends!) There's a lot of interest in the race on the Ten Tenths forum, so whether you're a Le Mans newbie, visiting the race for the first time, or just planning to watch what you can on TV and listen to the Radio Le Mans broadcast on the net, why not pop along to the forum and join us in the various discussions going on right now?  As for my site, I'd love to hear from more race fans, so drop me an email!

Oh, and I've finally managed to resolve the mystery of my missing link buttons at the top of the page - hurrah!

February 2010

It's a long time since I put up comments of this kind, but there's a particular need to do so for me this year.  First of all, I'm rejoicing in the fact that Aysedasi's Le Mans has now been on the internet for NINE years - what a change the internet has brought to our Le Mans lives! 

But more importantly, Le Mans 2010 brings with it for me a massive change.  I have to report that I will not be a 'Tourist' for this year's Le Mans.  After much careful consideration, I reached the conclusion after this year's race that my needs for Le Mans and those of the other 'Tourists' were no longer as closely matched as they once were.  At Le Mans, I have things to do and people to see (as they say) and, most importantly, a race to watch - as much of it as possible.  Apart from two years (92 and 98) when my pal Peter and I went it alone to Le Mans, all of my trips to Le Mans have been with substantially the same bunch of guys, the trips being brilliantly organised by Chief Tourist Ian.  I have met some fantastic people and enjoyed their wonderful company over the years and it is with great regret that I've decided to resign my Tourist badge this year.  But this sad news is also tempered by great news - for the first time I am going to Le Mans - for the week!  My Ten Tenths pal and great Le Mans fan James has taken sympathy upon my plight and invited me to join him on his trip to the world's greatest motor race.  I'm now expecting to depart the UK on Sunday morning, so as to catch some of the scrutineering which has now been brought forward by the ACO.  So at last I get to see the cars practice and to take in the full Le Mans experience - something I've wanted to do for a very long time.

My site has been rather quiet in recent months but I've finally manage to publish my 2009 story publish!  Whether you've been here many times or are a first time visitor, I hope I can continue to give you an insight into the life of an ordinary Le Mans spectator - and an insight into just what makes this event so very special.

Contacting Me

I've been carrying my "spam" warning for many years now.  I'm bombarded with all the usual garbage that flies around the internet these days.  So there's a risk that if you don't make your good intentions clear when you email me, I'll bin your mail without realising it's genuine.  If you'd like to email me, I'd love to hear from you, wherever you are, but perhaps you could include the words "Ayse's Le Mans" in your email title.  Thanks.
