Join us at Le Mans for the next PistonHeads Sunday Service and, as we'll be in France, the time difference will have to be accounted for. As a result this meet will be held on a Friday - Friday June 15 to be precise. OK, so time zones have nothing to do with it but apparently we'd clash with a race of some sort that's taking place on the Saturday and Sunday so Friday it is.
This certainly isn't the first meet PistonHeads has hosted in Le Mans but it definitely promises to be the biggest, as we now have access to an area capable of hosting up to 500 cars on Le Mans Friday.
Last year we held an excellent PH meet at Le Bounty and, while we loved that venue, the offer of a large piece of land close to the circuit from the ACO and 1stTickets was too good to ignore. We will return to Le Bounty for a Le Mans Classic meet later this year though so keep an eye out for further details about that soon.
Back to the 24-hour and we'll be opening the gates to
(just off the roundabout near the parking for Porsche Curves and the entrance to Beausejour camping. See photo above too) at
1300h on Friday June 15 and will close things up at 1600h
So what can you expect? Well this is a relaxed event when compared to a normal 'Sunday' Service, but you'll be greeted by the PH team on the gate and we'll invite you to park up, grab some lunch (catering and drinks will be available) and relax in the sunshine (we hope) as you admire the cars and enjoy a beer or two ... or a coke for the drivers of course. It's all about enjoying the cars, the Le Mans atmosphere and sitting on the grass in the sunshine without a care in the world.
As per usual you will need to sign up to show your intentions of coming along, but we will impose a 500 car limit to this and operate a one in, one out policy once full. It's a great opportunity for us to meet the Le Mans going PHer so please get your camping group to come over and join us and help us to make this the biggest Le Mans meet ever.
Thanks once more to the ACO for allowing us to use the space and as we get closer to the event we'll share more details with you. For now, get the date in your diary and your name on the calendar.
If you fancy coming along to Le Mans and need some grass to sleep on, you could do a lot worse than call PH Le Mans camping providers 1st-Tickets.
