I'm very pleased Dani!


So far, we have entries from

California Slot 1
California Slot 2
Modena Slot Club
Posillipo Promotion
Dutch Touch
North Staffs
LMES (Germany)
Racing for Holland
Quorn Slot Car Club
Sports Carazing

(+ Vikings)

Really, that only leaves 5 more spots open before we have to think about a reserve list. I am strongly hoping that Eastcote, Pendle Slot Racing and the Vienna Slot Devils will return! We have also had further enquiries from Spain, Portugal Sweden, and in the UK I have heard that a couple of clubs that raced at Pendle were thinking about Le Mans next year.



With LMP-1, LMP-2 and the GT class all up for grabs, who will be victorious in 2014? Only 24 hours will tell

QUOTE (djlutz @ 13 Oct 2013, 21:00) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hey guys, just an introduction to LM'24h for those still thinking about joining or not this event...

Nice one Dani...your work?

On the whole, good to see so many "Friends of the Oxigen LM 24hrs" back on the rostrum.
Looks like we'll have a bumper grid for 2014...With recent post this brings the number of entries to 14!!! Just two direct entries left!!!
I do hope that the Slotdevils will make the long trip North from Vienna, with new entrants LMES that would make double entries from all "foreign countries"
so Gary...lets see if you can shoehorn an other couple of straights to the pitlane, its going to be really crowded


with kind regards
Tamar

Hi Julian

I'd love to post one, but there are two small problems. First of all, we are probably going to buy some more LC's so until that's happened the track plan won't be 100% accurate. The second is, the software we use for the track is Ultimate Racer, which while pretty reasonable and free to download, isn't good at producing Hi-res large format images for posting here. For me to post a manageable image it would be so far zoomed out you'd barely be able to see the LC's, try and find last years thread and you'll see what I mean. If you do, it'll be pretty indicative of what we'll end up with for 2014.

I guess that's the problem with a 218' perimeter track


It's great to see the entries coming in! Many new teams, and new drivers too! Please may all who have registered interest send an entry form to [email protected], together with deposit to be added to the official entry list. With the amount of enquiries generated is extremely important for us to be well organised and this is only possible if entries are received in this manner.

Official Entry list as of 16th October
Modena Slot
Vikings
Sports Carazing
California Slot 2
California Slot 1
North Staffs
Dutch Touch
LMES
Racing for Holland
Posillipo Promotion
Pendle Slot Racing
Quorn Slot Car Club

(+ Eastcote tbc)
(+ Wolverhampton tbc)

Which one of these teams will sit on the pole at 3 o'clock?

Hi Chip! Sorry to hear you can't be a part of it this year. I'll send you PM about visiting


Richard, thanks for your entry! Along with Eastcote who have now officially signed up that boosts the entry to 14 teams confirmed, with Wolverhampton with pending inscription.

We've had some really exciting news from Slot.it about taking the track to a new level for 2014. Our plans are super exciting and I'm sure everyone will enjoy an improved Le Mans experience from what we have in store


Official Entry list as of 18th October
Modena Slot
Vikings
Sports Carazing
California Slot 2
California Slot 1
North Staffs
Dutch Touch
LMES
Racing for Holland
Posillipo Promotion
Pendle Slot Racing
Quorn Slot Car Club
Eastcote Exiles
South Manchester Slot Car Club

Many teams so far have chosen the P1 category, with a handful delaying their decision for a short time. Modena Slot will have some stiff competition to defend their victory!
