LM 2013: Porsche Curves Camping

[J-Tuner]

As above - anyone camping out this way for the duration? We got a few of the lads coming down and its my first time so expecting it to be utter carnage

Looking forward to the drive down, drove to Spa back in august in the '5 and loved it!

Cheers

Personally Beausejour at the Porsche curves is a last resort.
Get into Bleu Nord. Much better location without the 30 minute walk from the grandstands and village to your tent.
You will pay circa £60 for the Porsche curves and £80 for Bleu Nord. This is per pitch. And it does not flood!

Maybe a last resort but always available in april when our group gets its act together to book some tickets. Despite hike to village there is a lot to be said for 2 min walk from tent to watch sun come up over the curves. Team Funkenbroken will be there as usual

[SEE YA]

There is another site near by as well,been there before excellent and safe with Security.

Thinking of going there again next year.

I run a private camp site on the inside of Porsche Curves if you want that extra security but obviosly there is a premium over "do it yourself".

If you are interested send me a PM, we do have free mini buses running to other parts of the circuit every hour which assists not being near to the village.

The site is the one mentioned in the above post.

Sounds like there are several places around the curves?

We're booking into a private area right by the track with a viewing hill towards the back. Booked through travel destinations so I think we have security and reserved plots etc..

Little bit concerned by the comments on flooding. Best sleep on an air bed lol

No flooding next year it will be a scorcher!!!!

[J-Tuner]

Hope so - want the roof down the whole way and cane the BBQ down there!

[Porkieboy]

Neither Travel Destinations or our site floods so you will be fine, one site is on the outside of the curves and ours on the inside both have viewing areas and ours is 50m from the site gate.

Pboy. Will pm you for prices. Have walked past your site several times on the way to the viewing banking and looks very civilised. You dont have any overhead trees for our tarp so guess we would have to invest in a gazebo to keep the scorching sun off our heads next year. We normally do LM on a very modest budget but after some theftage this year the option of a security fence looks like a good one.

[Porkieboy]

Got your PM will be replying shortly,we also have civilsed unbrellas to keep away the scorching sun in the outside bar area which will have improvements for next year.

Will speak to you soon

The Lycian events site is the way to go, its amazing value especially when compared to eating on the circuit and sleeping in a water logged hole with the risk of Cholera from the loos.....its fantastic, clean, safe, excellent food, clean loos and showers, cheap beer and a joyous spirit....I'm staying there again this year, taking along about 15 others. The best value at Le Mans for me.

It's just too bloody far from everywhere other than the viewing area on the inside of Porsche Curves.

[EnjyBenjy]

True, but that's a not a bad place to view from (or indeed the outside of the Curves). You have to accept a decent walk out for any other viewing points, but I've never had a problem with that.

[Porkieboy]

The viewing is fanatstic, but when you have free mini-buses running every half hour from the site to other parts of the circuit the distance is not a problem.
