I'm in no way affiliated with Gawker, albeit I do comment on every branch, except that other one, the unmentionable one.

Gawker-bytes, citizens, and tourists, I call you all for a grandiose meet up at Le Mans 2014. Why such a far off destination? Well because it is the Super Bowl, E3 and all night rager for the Jalop. It's a marvelous twenty-four hour car race taking place in Le Mans, Sarthe, France. The race falls the weekend of June 14 - 15, with ticket prices from between €50 - €200 for a trackside campground, touted to be the enthusiasts' experience.

I submit the only basis that we arrive around the same time and set ourselves up in the same trackside campground, no stadiums for us. However you get there, by plane, train, or automobile is up to your disgression.

On an aside: I nominate Gawker-Byte for citizens of the Gawkerverse.

Partially what inspired me to try and organize an Oppo trip. I'll definitely add the posts to my article.

Thank you for your thoughts!

Definitely worth the trip. It was crazy fun and miserable. I think I might be able to talk my wife into going again, but probably not next year. We are looking at Monza in September.

I said it before and I'll say it again. Get a group going and make this a thing, and I will be there.

I really don't want to miss 2014 Le Mans, Audi V Porsche LMP1 will be awesome.

Sounds great!

I'm thinking we could add a couple other races and road trip meet ups, wherein half the fun is traveling with other Opponauts. Events like Monza, Pikes Peak, CotA; the unique ones.

Fantastic!

I'll add some copy and hopefully we'll get it FP'd, such that we can get a good group of people going. But I will definitely be there, even if one other person goes I'll make it happen.

And while I've got you, Aaron; you look pretty young, may I ask you how old you are?
