Le Mans coach tours

[gtmdriver]

My son and I would like to go to the 2015 Le Mans 24 hours.

We are looking for an all inclusive coach tour leaving Friday and returning late Sunday/early Monday.

Does anyone know of and companies offering anything like this and if you've dome this recently who would you recommend?

Select motor racing £379 return from london so your there Thursday through to sunday and back on the monday with hotels each night but that doesn't include race tickets.

Went with them this year, Run by a guy called Kevin who will happyily answer any questions you might have.

I don't know if they are still operating, but Page & Moy Travel were the original & best of the coach operators running trips to Le Man's since 1961. If you Google them, there should be info either about them, or alternatives.

We first went in 1976, departing Fri & arriving home on Mon.
That was a killer trip, the race was fantastic, but the return journey was awful, so exhausting after the 24 hours of little or no sleep. You wouldn't believe how grouchy some people can get in the confines of a packed coach.
Thereafter we opted tor the extra night stopover in a hotel on Sun night. Believe me, it's well worth the extra cost to have a nice refreshing shower, a couple of drinks in the bar, and a good night's sleep.

But the best way is to travel down in your own cars with a group of like- minded souls, camping at the circuit and soaking up the sights, sounds & atmosphere of this great event.
Have a look at www.fasttracktours.co.uk run by Ian Longden ( Longers ).
From personal experience, I can highly recommend them.

If they are still running Newmarket will likely do tours with pick ups across the UK and include race tickets in the package. Been to a couple of British GPs with them, can't be faulted. Great local coach companies used, friendly rep, nice hotels and good seats at the track.

Thank you.

I'll have a look at your suggestions.

Why a coach, rather than drive or train?

[gtmdriver]

Train. I never thought of that.

Or look out for a cheap flight to Paris & train from there, one of ours got an easy jet (or similar) from Newcastle a few years ago for much less than the train cost.
