LOT are offering a double header at Le Mans before Frolic, Friday on the Maison Blanche (Porsche experience) circuit & Saturday on the Bugatti circuit (as usual). Then the cross country dash to Dijon on the Sunday for the start of Frolic.

Looking forward to the full report! Have you got YT videos too? Myself and AliC stayed at Le Ferme on Frolic'22, I also had the Tartiflette! I've skied in La Clusaz many times but that was my first summer visit. I hope you tried the luge? 8) https://1drv.ms/i/s!Ai1ysE6vEczVg-BopwFTP3pabaVlAw?embed=1...

What Kinger didn't mention is that they replaced the CV boot on Ferg's Sport 160 in the pitlane at Dijon last Monday! Superb team effort to get it running again. I'll let Kinger share the stories about his car.....

Footman James are quite selective about what organisers & tracks they will cover. For example they recognise Knockhill but wouldn't accept SID...

Reading the forums the Ami doesn't qualify for a 16-year old UK moped license since it's too heavy.... but you can drive at 14 in France!

Keeping an eye out for a Citroen Ami as youngest Padawan will be able to drive it when 16.

Would be fine in town but in the wilds of rural Perthshire???

Is the other insurer paying for a hire car through all of this?

Usually that's enough in itself for then to write the car off and avoid the hire fees.

I agree you definitely want the car inspected by AA/RAC/etc before collecting and handing back any hire car.

I have a slightly different plan..... Friday morning ferry from Portsmouth to Caen, 2 hour drive to Le Mans, arrive ~6pm.
