Ah not that old chestnut I remember back in the 90’s they tried to do this and it led to all sorts of fun and games, tunnels dug under the wire on the campsites trips across the woods with the illegal booty!! At the end of the race there were loads of bottles left inside the track it failed then and it will again.

Update from another source....

OK. I have just had word from the Travel Destinations guys on the ground at Le Mans.
Apparently the mayor of Le Mans did try to pass a blanket ban on all alcohol at the circuit this morning (bringing it in to line with their football grounds etc.)
However this has been overturned on appeal by the ACO.
Alcohol will now be allowed on all campsites and can be consumed on all campsites.
However, alcohol should not be consumed in public areas such as grandstands.
How this is going to be implemented is another matter. Maybe it won't be.
But our people on the ground are reporting that there is no problem with bringing alcohol (bottles or otherwise) in to the campsite.
Hope this helps everyone.

Just read this on the 'other source' too. Think I'll stop worrying about this like I've stopped worrying about the weather forecast..... the closer we get the more it changes; It'll be fiiiine!... I hope.

I cant see the Danes being impressed with this rule. Also, will they ban Germans from letting off insanely big fireworks/thermonuclear warheads?

Just so you know. Just had text from part of my group on P&O Dover - Calais ferry tonight and price of cans are as follows:

Grolsch 50ml x 24 = £12.49
1664 (50ml?) x 24= £11.79
Stella (50ml?) x 24 = £14.49

Also read on website:
John Smiths 50ml x 24 = £12.99
OR 2 crates for £25.00

Depends if you want to risk having your bottles binned. I've witnessed that at Santa Pod too many timesweepingfurious

Wouldn't worry to much because according to the other threads on here were going to all be arrested and sent to the Bastille for the weekend for speeding as we get off the ferry. If that doesn't get us the monsoon's might and beyond that wev'e got to battle the German vegetables.
Could be a toughie this year!biggrin

So anyone got an actual link to a bona fide news site with details on this?

The only detail I have found come back to this thread.

Phew!!.... Just heard the hotel bar is not affected by these new bans and each cold beer will still be served in a fresh glass. That is a relief. ;-)
