Got some time off work last minute and I've decided to try and make it to Le Mans.

Anyone got an extra pitch they want to sell on/last minute cancellation? With/without circuit tickets no problem.

If not I'll probably go anyway and find a B&B within driving distance but should be on site for the full experience really!

I'll drive to collect tickets in the midlands (once they arrive) or can accept by post so long as I've got a few days grace before we leave.

Worst case could meet up on route and collect?

PM me if you have details or post 'yes' below and I'll PM you smile

No need to panic. Buy one from one of the many agents.

I've used 1st tickets before excellent service but I once visited some chaps camped in the Somme ..sorry I mean Beausejour and I'm not sure I can hack that if it rains again this year! Damp everything is no fun, they came and camped with us is Houx!

As you didn't stay there not sure you can comment on it. We've camped many a time in Beausejour and it's no problem, especially since they have done a huge amount of drainage work. You can still buy direct from ACO, http://ticket.lemans.org/mon-aire-accueil-auto

Email sent. Last stayed there in 2002!

Might have been 2004 smile

Thanks for the responses chaps. I did search all the ticket sites but only the one option remaining and I've been scarred by the things I saw there wink

(Sods law says probably end up having to eat my words and camp there this year in the end now anyway!)

Try Camping Indigo Les Molieres at Sille Le Guillaume

We've stayed there the last 2 years, it's really quiet (never seen any other race fans stay there)

It's about 40 mins from the track, but is a stunning forest/lake campsite and a welcome haven of peace and quiet after the hustle and bustle of the event.

Highly recommended and only €16 a night

Not BAD! Looks like a damn nice option for the trade off potential of more beer tokens smile

I think we'd have to commit to staying on circuit all night for the actual race to avoid tumbleweed and hope it didn't rain too heavily that night! But definitely noted.

Read the post. Excellent package and was almost tempted to take it anyway just for the campsite and breakfast but I can't travel on the Thursday and I've already booked Ferry tickets for the Friday with open return.

Wish you luck with filling the space in the convoy. Nice convoy too!!

Bugger, thanks for the tip. However by the time I actually got around to registering it was gone! I should really get on the internet more regularly.

Looking more and more like turning up on the Friday and hoping for the best, driving to a B&B if not.

from someone who shuttle drives about 1000kms in and out of the circuit each year my advice will be avoid the driving .. you'll spend more time watching traffic than watching racing. Doesn't look like you are sorted so i'm pitching in ... hope the Mods don't mind. Another option over B&B is to consider staying off circuit with us. , camping pitch, brekkie's and dinners, minibuses too & fro - all included. Google "Bounty Lakes" and you'll find us. We have spaces but not many.

Whatever you do ...hope you enjoy the trip.

I stayed at Bounty last year and would not hesitate to recommend. Lovely setting, great tents, good breakfasts and dinner. Buses run all day and night of race to circuit. Here you go.

Hi,

If you haven't got anywhere yet, I have just posted on the Swaps/wants topic. I'm selling a Area 24 pitch. Have a look and see if you fancy it.

Hope you find somewhere appropriate.
