quick question ! please new to Le Mans!

[stu 9thgate]

hi, I’m planning on going this year with my brother in the tvr , if we was to get 1 Houx Annexe Campsite Ticket does that mean the car( and contents ) can get in camp and use the facilities, or do the people in the car need separate tickets to enter ?. Also are you allocated a plot to use , if so how do you guarantee camping next to your mates who travel down separately? thanks for any help , p.s sorry if these are dumb questions.

Quick answer!!

A Houx Annexe ticket will get you, the car and the tent into the campsite. You don't need tickets for individuals into the site as its open to the public to walk into. You will need tickets to get into the circuit.

On Annexe you turn up and grab a pitch, fighting off the others who also want the same space.

To ensure you get a plot near your mates, bribe your first arriving teammates with beer so they park their cars where you want to pitch and defend your plot.

Bring on June!

thanks for the help mate , would you advise getting tickets for the circuit when we get there or before we leave?

If you can find them at face value or as a package with your campsite ticket, go for it, otherwise they are always on sale at the gates...

Wot he said!!!

If you've not been nefore and are serious about getting down there this year, find some locals in the club who go regularly and get the inside track - it certainly helps with the practicalities.

Then again, its worth going down just for the drive there and back Only this year, they won't let me take the cerb - I have to ride shotgun in something slower

See you there!!

Moi?

No, we have a rule that you can't take the same car twice (unless there's no other option) and I've used up all three so far!!

But honestly, our leader doesn't think his lotus will do, ahem, 60 on the autoroute and doesn't want to be the slowest in the convoy!

Mentioning no names of course. James!

...though do be sensible on the area you reserve - grab too much and don't end up filling it and you will not make many friends.
