Me too. What's happening with that? I heard 'massively oversubscribed' which could read as 'massively underestimated interest' smile

We are very close to start taking bookings for the PistonHeads/1st Tickets private campsite. We are just finalising a couple of things relating to the package and plan to start contacting PHers either later this week or early next.

Each year the PistonHeads private campsite has grown in popularity and size. This year is no exception and we received a tremendous number of registrations since the news article in June. We did request additional space from the circuit to meet with demand, but with the additional pressure on camping spaces due to the closure of the Karting Nord campsite, the site will stay the same size as 2012 (11,000m2 with 180 PH spaces).

As promised we will give all the PHers that pre-registered the opportunity to reserve a space before we officially launch the package with PH. So look out for an email real soon!

Booked with the tourist office today. General Admission and Parking Raineries, sleeping in the hire car on Sat night. This will be my fifteenth Le Mans 24h. First one was 1986 - remember the Silk Cut Jaguars?

Sleeping in my car would be nigh on impossible!
Nice thought, though.

I've also registered interest with another company so will see what happens.

Ive stayed in maison blanche in recent years with friends. Next year UI want to bring my motorhome with wife and son, then spend a couple fo weeks poodling around France and maybe catch some TDF while we are there. Any recomendations for a suitable campsite which isnt too manic? perhaps MB again?

What I have booked is.....a hotel in the lake district for a chuffing wedding I can't get out of frown

MB is possibly the most civilised of the official sites although the private sites through agencies might be better if thats what you want?

I booked quite a while ago, I will be staying over at Tetre Rouge on the Team Langoustine site, I just need to book the ferry now, preferably Hull - Zeebrugge but this is quite expensive so we may end up using the Dover - Calais crossing instead.

This is will be my 5th consecutive Le Mans, in previous years I have gone with Speed Chills: the first year I stayed at Bleu Sud and the following three years over at Beausejour, I think they have a great set up, especially the site over at Beausejour - there is a cracking atmosphere, the only problem being that its a bloody massive walk to anywhere other than the inside of Porsche Curves hence the reason I have decided to try a different site this year that is closer to more of the accessible parts of the track.

Roll on June 2013!

Thats why it is always good to look at what else is on offer, Porsche Curves is a fantastic vantage point but we recognise that there is a long walk to other parts of the circuit this is why we offer a free half hour timetabled minibus service to other parts of the circuit. You then get the best of both worlds.
