Le Mans Classic: Onsite Events

[Crook]

Hi,
Does anyone have any experience of booking through these guys at all?

I've been to Le Mans with them 5 times now including 2 Classics and will be going to the Classic with them this year. They are not the cheapest but in my opinion are one of the best. I would highly recommend them.

save yourself some money and just buy the tickets from either the ACO or the tourist office there is plenty to do there and the campsites contain thousands of people who do the same

Tickets would be bought on the gate. No issue there. It's the camping side of things that I would be getting. This comes packaged with Eurotunnel and is not terrible.
The replies above suggest they're a good outfit so I'm happy to pay.
However If there is a cheaper way to camp I'm all ears

Like gt6 says book your camping tickets from the ACO HERE> http://ticket.lemans.org/aires-d-accueil-sport-mec... .. then book your own ferry or eurotunnel, way cheaper,

Great
Thanks for the link.
I had looked before but couldn't find the camping.

You might want to try 1st tickets too, they tend to do bundled deals and I have used them a number of times in the past and they have proved to be very good, will use them again this year if I can get my friends' behinds into gear....

TBH I found onsite-events cheaper based on the same factors.

You can speak direct to the ACO they have english speakers so no problem or you can speak to nadine at the le mans tourist office she is brilliant and i get all my tickets/camping through her, tunnel/ferry can be booked on line and cost about £30 each way ferry or £44 each way tunnel Total incl camping/race and crossing should be no more than £250 max for two people

Evening,
Booked camping online. MB & KN were fully booked so in BN for the first time. Got to be better than BSJ though!!!
Thanks for your help.
Oh and eurotunnel was £94 return so all good.

BN is fine - stayed there last time and it was a convenient walk to the grandstands / paddock area and ideal for jumping on the bikes and heading down to Arnage at night.

Facilities were a bit thin on the ground last time, but after the 2010 event I sent a note to the organisers and they promised to do a better job for this year. I'm about to forward that note to them as a reminder...
