I am trying to organise a little trip to Le Mans 2015 wth a couple of mates (will be an AM and MCL convoy).
Although I have been to many F1 races, I have (shamelessly) never been to Le Mans....

We are planning to go on the Friday as pitlane is then accessible to general public, until Sunday morning.

We would like to get into the thick of the action but at the same time avoid camping (especially if we have our ladys with us). But it looks like being close to the event and a good hotel are not compatible !

I was wondering if anybody here had any good tips with regards to attending and where to stay ?

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Thanks Guys.
Found a little house within Le Mans at a few minutes walk from the track. 3 bedrooms (there are 3 of us going).
Will be leaving on Thursday to get good access to paddock and cars on the Friday.
Will be heading back on Sunday morning to avoid mad rush post race.
Looking forward to it. Current convoy from EuroTunnel includes me in the 12C and a friend in his DB9.
If anyone is also crossing on Thursday morning, let me know and we can grow the convoy !

leaving Sunday morning.....race finished at 3.....you will miss it....
Race starts at 3 the day before so will see most of it.
I was told from insiders that the best opportunity to enjoy the action is actually on Friday.
So we focussed on being there all day Friday.
But, if we feel like staying later on Sunday, we can always change our plans on the day and leave later.
