At least speed chills are back. Very interested to see what changes if any will happen.

They are back in name only. Their sites are not returning so TD will try to cram everyone into Porsche Curves while charging more (were already more expensive and this is hardly likely to change that).
I won't be using TD, partly because the site on Porsche Curves is too noisy for me and partly for reasons that I won't share on the forum. This is not good news.
This does make me wonder about the reasons Speed Chills gave for not being at Le Mans this year and whether it was really for the reasons given here,

Based on the press releases it's the same story. The people running SC got busy with stuff outside SC so just weren't in a position to commit the crazy amount of time it must take to organise something like a private camping site (in France and working with the ACO) in 2018. Things haven't really changed for them in 2019/don't look like they are going to change in the near future so what's the point in just running a side business that's just a ticket agency?
I'd guess the B word has played a part. If you're stumping up huge piles of Euros to the ACO up front you're carrying quite a risk with exchange rates/not knowing if you can recruit staff in the UK or have to do it in the EU, etc. Not saying it's the only/main reason but not going to go in the "Yes" column of the "Is it worth the effort?" table.

Ok so we have used Speed chills for 4 trips to the classic and just presumed we would again for next year. The location was perfect, hospitality and catering ideal with clean showers and toilets.
Don’t really fancy TD at the porsche curves as its further away and theres no mention of catering etc.
Any other providers similar to SC that others have used?

I agree that SpeedChills site on Bleu Sud was ideal Close enough to be convenient but far enough to be quiet. Did two 24h and a Classic with them and they will be missed. Tried TD at Porsche for this year but more expensive and then tried to add a supplement for the crossing after an agreed price so declined booking and went to the F1 at Silverstone instead (which I thoroughly enjoyed - I had 3 days there and son had 2).
I would have switched to Thomas Cook for 2020 but
Maybe we need to move off circuit to Team Langoustine or Fat Fish but not sure about relying on shuttles rather than being able to walk. Might need to go back to 1st Tickets but might wait to 2021 to let the supercars field get established.
