I loved Speed Chills Bleu Nord, pity they got bought out.

Next year will be Lycian, I think (if I go at all).

To be fair TD have now moved me to the right crossing and day, I was just lucky I had checked their crossing details and realised they has booked the crossing date wrong and that the Wednesday ferry hadn't sold out in the week between notifying them and get confirmation of the change.

There’s some news, Daily Sportscar, that the ACO are looking to add new grandstands, including at the Porsche curves as of next year.

You may have to move anyway. Worth keeping an eye on.

Interesting, I would have thought they would be looking at either the spectator zone on the inside of the circuit or possibly the area to the right of TD's area (if looking down towards Arnage) where they sometime hold corporate events during the race (Porsche had it last year). We shall see.

I would have thought it will be on the inside of the curves if anywhere.

isn't the TD area privately owned though? Anyway, it's all about money, will wait and see what happens

It's officially part of Beausejour.

Lycian do have an event guide on the wbsite as a download, although specific to the Village it may have some useful information which may be of value to others in Le Mans

Hi all, will be attending for the first time this year. Booked the pre-erect tent option with TD on Porsche Curves. Counter to what others have shared, I've had a pretty smooth ride with them, albeit will accept I have no previous engagement to benchmark it against and we are on plain euro tunnel transfers.

Packing light with a gas stove, tables, chairs, torches and a cooler box with as many drinks we can load in. Planning on managing food out there.

Looking for any views on or "things I wish I had known" from others who have had the pre-erect tent option previously.
Can ice be purchased out there easily?

It can get pretty cold at night so pack warm stuff.

The “Igloo” cool boxes can last 5 days if prepped correctly. They aren’t cheap but work.

Take a small FM radio and plug in headphones to listen to Radio Le Mans.

Walk into Arnage on Friday afternoon for beers and a great atmosphere.

Ice can be bought at the supermarket and if they run out they sell frozen bottles of water which you can stick in your ice box.

This may be of interest too - https://motorsporttraveldestinations.com/blog/le-m...

Anyone watching a cooking demonstration at 6pm on the Saturday should be banned from Le
Mans for life

Anyone that thinks people will want to watch a cooking demo at that time must not understand who will be there and what they are there for. Who ever organised that should be sacked for sure
