I went this year for the first time with my son, a great father/son experiencece with Le mans being on our bucket list! What an experience. Walking round the track 2.00am with thousands doing the same, going on the ferrous wheel 3.00am seeing the cars hurtling around like little scalextric toys, seeing Alonso win the race, awesome! The drive down and back with all the varied british motors, great! I vowed I'd only do it the once but highly tempted to do it again this year. Do it, you won't be disappointed. John

Second that. Been twice now with the "boys" and another couple of older chaps, you got to do it. wish I'd discovered it sooner. I'm finding every 2 years coinciding with world cup or euros is great timing. Went by eurotunnel this year and the cars in the car park waiting for trains back on the Monday... Awesome. Loads of astons on the road back too...

I finalized my booking yesterday with 1st tickets for the Premier Vert campsite.

I've been to Le Mans a few times before with a number of different travel and accommodation options (I even went on the train one year). This is my first time with 1st Tickets and the Premier Vert but it looks a reasonable operation. We are travelling Thursday to Monday.

I’ve booked my tickets but I’m staying at Beausejor, so don’t think I’ll be brave enough to take the Vantage!

I did the Premier Vert 1st Ticket site last year with my son, really good spot within 100m of the track, secure, good food, TV on site, only really bad thing were the showers, far too small to use really but managed. Not doing 2019 but maybe 2020. As said the atmosphere during the night/early morning is something else.

2019 will be my 30th consecutive visit and the 25th with my Aston. I stay in the main Houx campsite.

As it's had a back-to-bare-metal respray, I won't be doing this again for a while:





Maybe something more like this:

The 1st Tickets site at Blue Sud is also ok. Enclosed secure site within the public camp site. Large tent with TV's , pay bar and good showers. Been a couple of times. Easy walk across the road to get to the start finish straight.

Can get a bit noisy especially on Sunday night after the finish with fireworks etc. Last year we left the site about 6pm , easy get away little or no traffic at that time and stayed in Rouen. Made for an easier drive back to Calais on the Monday.

Hey all, bumping this thread a bit.

Has anyone attended the AM Le Mans VIP Hospitality in the past? Worth going? Not much pictures or information from past years.

TIA.
