Anyone done the Le Mans 24hrs? Advice sought

[bonker]

I'm looking to do this one.
Any idea what constitutes a medical certificate? For IM events and the Alpe d'Huez triathlon membership of the British Triathlon Association was sufficient.
Also I might go for the full 24hr on my own --any thoughts, tips, advice?

No, but it looks interesting. Have a look at http://www.24heuresvelo.fr/en/ for the official site and here http://exeterwheelers.co.uk/index.php/Lemans_2011#A_wheeler_rides_the_24_hour_Le_Mans for an account.

A Cycle Chat team of 8 perhaps?

A medical certificate is compulsory in France if you want to take part in a sportive(or race of any sort). I think it's an insurance thing and applies to all sports. As i dont hold a french club licence, all I have ever done is downloaded this http://www.irbms.com/rubriques/DOCUMENTS/certificat-medical-sport-competition.pdf
And got my doctor to sign it. Until last year he didn't even ask me what I was intending to do.
