Used them twice, I think, we take turns booking in our group.

Absolutely fine.

I've just booked through them, Ann-Marie has been extremely helpful.

My uncle has booked through them at least 3 times before too.

Seem a lot cheaper then some others also.

Well, if you ask a question, you get answers. We're a friendly lot and we've all been round the LeMans block a few times :-)

I am going to book with this company http://www.grandstandmotorsports.co.uk/ tomorrow unless you regulars have any horror stories.

I'm too old for camping and enjoy my creature comforts, so will be staying in a private house in Le Mans for 6 nights.

I've been with Speed Chills for the last 3 years and will be going with them again this year and like another poster said, Anne-Marie is really helpful. I also saw on the new ACO site today it's only 137 days to the race, I can't wait

Don't know them but looking at the website they're ABTA bonded so you can't go wrong. Our group are considering proper beds in not too distant future, it comes to us all!

How old is to old for camping?
the average age in our campsite (TR) must be close to 50

Never camped, too old. Always have a hotel room but sleep in the car in Parking Blanc park Saturday. Same since my first time in 1996.

My dad must push the TR campsite average up as he's 74! Mind you I guess the motorhome is a bit more comfortable than a pop up tent.
The older he gets the nearer he wants to be to the track! Hopefully he wont read this as he thinks he's still 54!
woohoo

:woohoo :
The majority of our group are no longer teenagers but we have not reached our seventies yet, TR is ideal for us, once the camp is set up with chairs,tables gazebo's and decent tents and beds it is so much better than a hotel and right next to the track so within 30 seconds you are watching cars, and it is safe no worries about security

SpeedChills have been running for something like 10 years now and this year will by our 3rd with them. No hesitation in recommending them.

We have booked with them this year - look forward to seeing how everything is.

My thoughts so far are that they are friendly and could not have been more helpful in the booking process.

Storer,

Grandstand Motor Sports is the re-branded name for what was Page & Moy after that company was acquired by All Leisure Group in 2012. I used Page & Moy for LM trips in the mid '90s but switched to Motor Racing International after a couple of years. For the past 10 years or more I've been doing the whole thing for my son and I on a DIY basis, getting tickets from the ACO, and booking a hotel and Channel crossing etc. myself.

If you Google Page & Moy you can read some customer comments.I suspect they may be about normal holiday experiences rather than specifically motor racing tours.

Booked with Speedchills for the third time now and as already stated Anne Marie is worth her weight in gold. Nothing is too much trouble for her despite some very silly questions put to her by my team-mates. Couldnt recommend them highly enough. Does what it says on the tin!

Ok. Fair praise where it is due is fine, but can we call it a day on overtly gushing praise for the various main Le Mans tour operators please? We all know who they are and have our favourites for a myriad of reasons.

Hopefully then we will stop getting endless emails about he said, she said. I think the OP's question has been adequately answered now.

Thank you smile
