wednesday ferry or thursday ferry?

When do people generally go down, and what goes on on the two days? Set up camp, pre-qualifying? Support races? What's the advantage of going down on the weds, I guess just getting a good spot in the camp and settling in?

I would go on the Wednesday if you can. The campsites are much emptier so you can choose your spot rather than having to squeeze in somewhere. You also have more time to explore, go into the city centre, do the pit walk, drivers parade and all the other bits that make it such a great weekend. More time for as well!

Makes sense. i need to get into the holiday mindset rather than race weekend mindset!

I am hoping that there will be loads to do, as we are going on Wednesday this year whereas we usually arrive Saturday PM and leave staright after the race

Going on thursday as previous years and always loads to do.

Put your 'tourist head' on , and maybe explore some nearby towns or villages.
Been to a place called 'la Fleche ' about 40km from LM, for chill out al fresco meals in the town square, listening to the odd V8 rumble from a fellow Lm tourist, echo off the cobbles!

Also there's the free pitwalk on the Friday too....

Get the Wed morning ferry, arrive mid afternoon. That get us in two full nights of practice sessions and then the free-for-all on Friday. Going to suss out the Classic British Welcome this year after the Friday morning fun.

I prefer getting there early for the same reasons mentioned by others, better choice of camping spot and more time for LM beers.

12 cars on the wednesday morning ferry, and back 12 days later ... the more the wags moan, the longer we stay !

Getting there Wednesday gives you a chance to enjoy the 1st qually session, then on Thursday night you can avoid the crowds and go somewhere else, into town, down to Indy/Arnage and the little town around those parts.

There is so much to do, you'll not be stuck.

And of course, as mentioned, a few more beers in

I'm with Tripps on this one. Get down on Wednesday. It's such a fantastic weekend, make it as long as pos.
We are travelling down with the Team Lang convoy Wednesday 7AM Dover-Boulogne.
