Ball Park Figure ?

Interested to see what other people post here! I'm sure some people do it on a far tighter budget.
For the last couple of years, it has cost me £300 all in
(inc fuel/ferry/food/beer/stupid hat/tickets/bbq) based on 2 in a car, sharing the petrol and camping ticket costs.
Although the first year I needed two new tyres the day I got back!

Yeah, i reckoned on about £300 all in, im a le mans virgin (not a proper virgin, i mean, i have lots of sex, all the time, every day, loads) but i reckoned on having a bloody good time on £300 in june so this will be interesting to see what other people spend.
Just out of interest, how much is a litre of petrol in France? Do the motorways have tolls?

Petrol is about 85p a litre for normal stuff 90p for SUL.
Yes the motorways do have tolls, so make sure you have some money on you. Do not ever go to the automated credit card tolls. They don't like English cards and you look a right tool trying to turn around with 3 cars up your arse

I didn't have a problem with the Automated tolls last year...
All depends on what you drive, how hard you drive it and what fines you pick up. Last year set me back about £300 in fuel (about 20 to the gallon) and the one fine enroute which emptied my wallet.
Expect camping per car to be about £50, entrance ticket £45 each, beer and tabs £100, ferry £60, and then petrol.

I would agree with most, 300 notes all weekend (EACH!!)
But if your on 15 - 20 mpg add a zero
£50 Ferry (shared)
£160 max Petrol (35 mpg) 3 - 4 tanks Shared.
£80 Camping (Houx) now full. (Shared)
£50 Entrance (each)
£50 Food, beer, bbqs, etc. etc. (each)
What ever you want on booze, normally around £50/80 (each)
Now most of you are saying that's more than 300, well if there are at least two in the car Petrol, camping & ferry are halved.
I'm going in a 7, pretty low this year, 4 pitches, we had to get Grandstands with those (they inc. entrance) 3 more entrance tickets. For that little lot it is around £150 each (but we'll probably sell on Granstands ANYONE INTERESTED 2 LEFT!!
) So that money will go into beer fund. Then all that's left is ferry and petrol (£100 each) and food and beer kitty (£100) Total around £300, or £1,326 if your maths is shit.

Based on 2 in a car £110 each incl Ferry, Camping and General Entry
Petrol/tolls was approx £200 = £100 each
£210 each + Food/Drink money.

That's about right if you cook your own food on a BBQ and buy your beer from a supermarket. Campsite catering is spenny but not ridiculous.
book your crossing with www.norfolkline.com now and it's only £38 return!

sounds like you guys have a total passion for Le mans, i cant wait for it now, first timer & it cant come soon enough.
There's certain things that are always in the calendar come Jan 1st -
Isle of Man TT - normally practice week only but doing race week aswell.
Le Mans - week after TT so the Vette is well run in.
LMES - Donny, Silverstone, doesn't matter where.
Out of those 3 the TT is with my old man, LMES is quite low-key and Le Mans is the absolute dogs of a weekend. Never fails to impress, different every year, go once and you'll keep going back! Got pulled by the Gendarmes for the first time last year about 20 miles from Calais - so pleased!!!!!
