If anyone would like to become a member of the best drinking club at the race then drop me a PM. Team Waaayhaaay is open to pilots, medics, adventurers, wits, raconteurs, gastronauts and jolly good types in general. However you must be a total petrolhead (why else would you go ?).

Team Waaayhaaay arrives on the Thursday in good time for the two qualifying sessions, spends the Friday morning with our adopted official race team in the garage and then tootles off to a well kept secret restaurant about 15 miles South of the Porsche Curves for a very long lunch. After returning to the campsite, we host a BBQ for our adopted race team followed by a huge fireworks party that shames anything else that the other supporters clubs can muster.

Saturday sees the serious partying start at the traditional midday gathering at the Champagne bar. After loads of champoo, the survivors then stagger off to watch the start at 16:00. After another 12 hours drinking and eating our way to Tertre Rouge and back via the Grand Marnier Crepe stall, there's a few hours kip before meeting up at Prost Karting for the Sunday shoot-out.

Having cheered the winners at 16:00, there's more merryment followed by another BBQ with forfeits, awards and recognition of any outstanding contribution to the race weekend. Departure is very early on the Monday with a scenic blast back to blighty..... with a pre-qualifying xxx mph sprint for next year where road conditions allow (don't flame me please !)

Team drinking shirts will be provided at cost.
