Right, I know a few of you go to Le mans most years. Myself and Kitt are looking at going next year and we where wondering where you lot camp and how you book camping. As I have never been i can not book when I am over their

I have posted another camping thread on the Le mans section of Pistonheads.

Any tips welcome

Good Evening Matt & Matt

We have historically booked through the TVRCC although we are considering going through ACO direct next year. Some of my mates book through the ACO every year so the info will be coming from them, I'm on the case so as and when the info comes through I will keep you posted.

As for camping - it depends how long you want to go for? Maison Blanche is the best site (5 mins walk to grandstand/track or 30 seconds to a bank with a viewpoint!) but you have to arrive early (Wednesday at the latest to get a good pitch)
If you are arriving any later then Houx is a good bet with a guaranteed pitch (although very dusty it has a better atmosphere)

Any questions fire away.

Right Bomber Harris

Right we are looking at going on the thursday and coming back Sunday. Going from poole, Bournemounth to Cean or Le harve. I know it will cost more but its less driving in the Tigers.
I like the sounds of Karting Nord, Maison Blanche or Camping Houx. We are going out for a blast over to wales on Sunday and having a meal to try and sort out what we want to do

Sounds like a plan. I thought Maison Blanche was already booked up?

And we only just have room for a tent, sleeping bags and our cloths in the Tigers

Notices you live int he Bristol area. Maybe we could meet up closer. I live in Hanham and Kitt has just moved into the area too. any excuse for a pub meet
