Anyone going to Le mans mext year. Im just organising my trip now, It would be nice to coordinate it so we went on the same Ferry, or maybe a convoy picking everyone up along the way. It will be an amazing few days, the drive there will be one of the best bits

What Ferry are people getting?
Where are you staying?

Sorry if this is a repeat.

Need to sort this out soon - problem is all the Tour Operators are greedy b*ggers - where can you buy a single ticket and campsite pass - I'll be going with a mate but we want to drive our own cars and use the pax seat for luggage

Yep, booking very soon, didn't take Elise last year but it's going this year. Am I right in thinking it's an anniversary of Lotus at Le man??

Will be going down on Thursday as usual, about 7-8am train.

Booked mine a few weeks ago through Just Tickets - camping at Karting Nord & bought grandstand tickets.

1st year for me, so any advice for Le Mans virgins?

I've just booked mine and it came out at about £260 all in from just tickets (campsite and Grand Stand at Maison Blanche and Dover-Calais return ferry).

Looking forward to it now!

Packing wise, you can get the vac bags that you roll up with clothes, etc inside. The air is expelled via a 1 way valve from the bag as you roll it and the clothes are held in a vaccuum... Worked well for me last year.

All you need is a tent, tshirt, can of deodarant and a credit card though.....

I may be going to LM I haven;t decided yet. Audi entering a Diesel is putting me off though

I will be going to Classic Le Mans though in July........
