Club Tertre Rouge 2014 Le Mans 24 Hours Hospitality ?

[JonV12V]

Hi All,

Le Mans virgin and planning on attending my first ever trip to Le Mans.

Does anyone have any experience +/- of Club Tetre Rouge package offered by Nicholas Mee Co Ltd ?

Would you bother purchasing a grandstand ticket and if so which one would you recommend ?

Cheers Jon

Jon I have never heard of this company (& I thought I knew most of them now) so I would be careful.
They are certainly not an official agency.

For grandstand seats I would suggest something opposite the pitlane on neat the start line.
Perhaps T19 or T20.
Then you get all the atmosphere in the build up as well as a good view of the start, finish and the podium.
You can get seats up towards the Dunlop bridge, but you can't see the pits from there and you can walk up there and view easily anyway.

Hope that helps.

Hi Jon
I used Club Tertre Rouge in 2012 and although I am not an Aston owner (just a massive fan) my friend and I were made very welcomed by the other people staying there and were very well looked after by Neil and his team
We were very pleased with the service provided and would recommend them to anyone who wants to "do" Le Mans with style
Good luck and please say "hi" to Neil if you do speak to him

I have never heard of them either but i doubt they are on tertre rouge campsite itself.
If you have plenty of cash and little ability to organise yourself then using one of these agencies is an easy option, however if you purchase a decent campsite space get tickets when you arrive and sort out your own transport you will save a considerable amoubt of money. You do not actually need grandstand tickets at Le mans I have never bought one in 30 years of going but if you want to see the start from the pit straight you can either get there early or buy a seat, however you can watch the start from just about anywhere else without having to get there hours before anything happens

Thanks all for the replies.

Given my other half is going, camping isn't an option unfortunately, given she likes a proper bog, although give her a due, she's a 'pistonheadette' and can lap Spa quicker than she can boil an egg.

Anyway, sounds like Tetre Rougr Club with Nicholas Mee Aston Martin may be the way to go for the first year at least.

Cheers Jon
