Time to post up info on this years dates for the open pit lane days at the Le Mans circuits.

Friday 31st July 2015 on the Maison Blanche, £250.00
Saturday 1st August 2015 on the Bugatii circuit, £250.00

.... or book both days for £450.00 driving

It's being run by Delta racing again but this year tickets can be purchased direct from their website instead of Trackday.

There are no extra costs involved with passengers, minimum age 16yrs, no noise limits, start at 9am, break for lunch and then run until sun down making it a very chilled weekend.

The Brit hotel is the main place where everyone stays for the weekend, it's situated 5 minutes away from the circuit if you use the back lanes and also has a local fuel station that sells reqular petrol and E85 should your car be mapped for such.
There is a camping area next to the hotel and an area on the circuit grounds which has easy access to excellent toilet/shower facilities, there is no charge for camping over the weekend.

Hotel costs to be confirmed.

2013 was our first year visiting Le Mans and meeting the Delta racings staff, we were made to feel very welcome and enjoyed the whole experience so I'm pleased we're able to go back and join them again this year.

If you have any questions that I can help with let me know, or email Stewart from Delta racing at:

deltaracingltd@gmail.com

I hope to see a few of you there again, it's an awesome track experience smile

We'll travel over on the Friday morning ferry and get to Le Mans after lunch hopefully, that way we can set the car up Friday ready for the Bugatii circuit.
Stay Sunday for the classic cars again and start back on Monday morning.

Maison Blanche is an infield circuit that's 2.9km long, it's totally separate to the Bugatii circuit but still fun and challenging to hook it up correct.

The Bugatii is 4.1km and uses the main pits, if you go for this circuit you'll be running on the same tarmac they do for the Le Mans 24hr, just a shorter distance as you don't leave the circuit. The challenging infield corners bring you back to the start/finish line so you'll be passing the grand stands at 100mph+.

We can't book yet till we are back from our holidays end of May. Hopefully there should still be a space.
@joe. Do you think it's worth contacting delta before I go on holiday? Maybe for a provisional booking?

Drop Stewart an email Joe, I'm sure they'll still be room but it wouldn't hurt to give him a heads up.

Hopefully we'll have a few more Coupes on track, any interest from your French lads?

Might try and convince MrsCC to camp on circuit, helps keep the costs down which can be put towards more beer laugh

Camping wise,I will have a poke about on the Friday or before to look for somewhere nice. Although where we were last time had electric and showers/toilets all for free it's on Tarmac though,although your offspring found a bit of green soft stuff!

Received an email from Stewart this morning explaining there's been some changes to the regulations, the important one to note is they're not allowing passengers under the age of 18yrs now.

--------------------------------------------------------

Hi All

As we are approaching our 10th anniversary of Delta Racing track days at Le Mans we have some new regulations to inform you which have been imposed on the ACO who run the trackday by the FFSA (French equivalent of the British MSA - Motor Sports Association).

We have spoken to the ACO in depth regarding the new regulations and the interpretations which will only effect a small number of you, so please call us and we can explain the rulings and regulations especially those which are high lighted in red.

Eligible Vehicles

Unfortunately we are unable to run sports or single seater race type vehicles weighing less than 800 kgs with saloon or GT cars. This effectively means that we can not run an open pit system with Radicals and the like and would have to run them in separate groups,so unless we have at least 20 then it will not be practical to run them. This ruling does not apply to road going Caterhams,Aerial Atoms,Exige,Elise etc - if you have any doubts if your vehicle is eligible please send us all the information,specification and photographs and we will send it to the ACO for clarification before accepting your entry.We do not want to be in a situation where you have the expense of travelling to the circuit and not be able to run.

Noise Limits

There has always been decibel noise limit of 102 which in the past has been largely over looked as long as you had a silencer ! Due to environmentalists they now have monitors around the circuit so if you have concerns re your vehicle please call us and we explain their interpretation of the limit and how it will read.

New rules on the Le Mans circuit for 2015.

Production vehicles:

- All Drivers and passenger must wear helmet and seat belts.
- Obligation to wear long clothing: covered arms and legs in all vehicles for driver and passenger.(No shorts, T shirts or skirts)
- Prohibition to fix outdoor camera on the car, securely fastening inside ok.(Go Pros inside the vehicle)
- Maximum 30 cars on the track at the same time.
- Sighter lap obligatory .
- Passengers under 18 not allowed. (please call us if you have concerns and we will explain)
- Overtaking should only be on the straights and wide corners.(It will be explained at the briefing should not change much for previous years)
-Cabriolet vehicles prohibited without the hood up and a roll bar (Please call us if you have concerns most modern convertible have a integrated roll hoop)


Competition vehicles Regulations:

A vehicle is considered a competition car if it does not have a log book and registration documents.
- Driver and passenger: helmeted and belted.
- Driver and passenger: to wear homologated fire proof race overalls, underwear, gloves, boots.

We apologise for these regulations however unfortunately they have been imposed on us and we trust it will not spoil your enjoyment of these iconic tracks and look forward to you joining us in our 10th year at Le Mans.

For those staying over on Saturday night we have a 5 piece band from Jersey ('All Your Heroes') to help us celebrate the night, so any of you budding musicians who feel like a 'jamming session' I am sure you would be more than welcome to join in !
We are also having the barbecue on Friday night which proved very popular last year even if you are not staying at the Brit Hotel you are very welcome to join us.

So if you have not sent in your forms and intending to participate can you please do so as the entry is filling up and we have to make the hotel and ferry (Channel Islanders) reservations.

Many thanks, as usual and queries,questions please just ask

Cheers
Stewart

Talking with Delta today and track time is pretty much all booked up now except a few spaces left for the Maison Blanche circuit on the Friday.

I've been that busy I missed the last places for the Bugatti circuit so Stewart has had to put me on the reserve list, arse!
I'm booked for MB so hopefully I'll still get the two days I was planning.

I'm also Hotel so my good lady have some luxuries, Jake's in the Multipla, but he doesn't know yet laugh

Rocket Ronnie is out of store, serviced and running, I just need to fabricate a new splitter to help increase front end down force and then she's ready to go.
