Le Mans weekend

Le Mans 09

A group of our Motorsport students at Le Mans.

The pit walk where the pit garages are presented and open to the public is a very good as you can have a look under the bonnet of the cars and ask any questions. This was really informative and we even met some of the drivers this year, which was ace!

James Waller, Motorsport student.

Every year some of our Motorsport students go to Le Mans for a weekend of endurance racing. It's an exciting weekend and if you have a passion for racing, you will not want to miss out on going!

What our students say

"I have been to Le Mans twice now and each time we drove down. It is a long way to drive but we made a fun roadtrip out of it"

"The highlights of the trip would have to be the friendly atmosphere of the campsites and town, meeting a big group of Danish people on the burnout strip, and watching the racing cars at night was awesome."

"The Le Mans experience is enjoyable and it is a must for Motosport students, especially as they  give us discounts on race tickets. We tend to go as one big group which is nice ,and we have one massive roadtrip through France, camp in the fields and watch the racing with a few beers!!"

"Everyone should go to Le Mans at least once!"

"It was an awesome experience and a great way to end the University year. It was a useful experience as well as being enjoyable. You get to see how the race day works and bits about the cars and how the teams work together."

Take a look at some of the pictures from a recent trip.
