Le Mans 2009 - Options?

[iain_cam]

My brother and I have been thinking about a trip to Le Mans for quite a while now, and this year seems as good as any to bite the bullet and go for it.

Neither of us have been before, so we'd appreciate some advice from the veterans out there!

Firstly - how best to do it? Take the car (bearing in mind this is likely to be a run of the mill hatch) and arrange camping ourselves? Or go by bus with a tour operator? Or buy into one of those camping trip things which include tickets (such as the one organised by Evo magazine)?

Secondly - if we arrange camping by ourselves where can we book/get more information? Plus any recommendations for camp sites?

Thirdly - any further advice you veterans can give to us noobs, if we decide to go ahead?

Thanks in advance!

Being a Le Mans newbie myself this coming year I'd suggest checking out the Le Mans sub forum.

Or even better, www.beermountain.com or the Club Arnarge forums.

All the info you could ever need on them two.

Check out Team Langostine and Continental Car tours for good deals. And definitely take your car, its part of the fun regardless of what you're driving.

Other than that, take a look through the LeMans sub-forum all the answers you'll ever need.

Yep, being the observant chap that I am I completely missed the Le Mans forum and hence posted in the General Gassing bit.

Some nice mod has obviously moved it to its proper place.

Thanks for that!

And thanks for all the suggestions.

Contact Guy at White Rabbit Racing - we went with them last year, and taking a group across again this year. I'm sure he'll be along in a bit.
