The majority of you know that my dad goes too Le Mans, in his 944, religiously, so, I thought I'd be friendly and share his photos! :p
Enjoy!

I know 3 of the cars in those pics, 1 of them being your 944, which i've seen a couple of times :p

People actually travel to the main routes to LeMans JUST to watch the cars travel there, but don't actually go see the races.

One of our guys from work goes every year too, but he doesn't have anything exotic!!

Nice selection of pics, although I hear there are thousands of exotics around! Its an event i've not been to, and one i'm not really planning going to unless an invitation comes along, but I always hear good things.

Yeah, I actually watched that classic le mans race myself on TV. Its pretty damn cool that they still have all those old cars still running.

Also, fanatastic pictures. Must be quite hard to get good pictures of the cars moving to, as seen in the blurredish pictures. But they still look cool. It looks some sort of effect.

The pescalrolos look pretty much the best out of the LMP1's. Somthing about them I prefer to the Pugs and audi's

Very awesome collection of pictures! I'm envious!

If your dad ever feels like he wants company, I'm the first in line!

Awesome pictures, bud! Loving the ones of the Group C prototypes. Porsche-Dauer 962, Nissan R90, Jaguar XJR-9, Peugeot 905... Seeing all those would be a dream!

XJR-9 FTW, by the way!

And by the way; a Jaguar Racing Reliant Robin?! Wtf?! :|:-k

Great pics Cheeky.

God I would love to have that door!

I remember when i was going at Rally Acropolis many cars were passing and they were "giving" (not exactly. Due to heavy road conditions the bumpers were breaking down and falling at the road) to the people their bumpers.... I had never taken one because the other people were taking them faster.
