Ive shamlessly stole this from another forum, but I thought it would be of interest to us....

"Although the stadium building work does not start until after this year's race, there are significant changes to it's size.

The ACO are making changes to one of the curves of the Bugatti circuit, which has let to excavations on Houx Annexe. The road that used to run at the top, is currently not there and the circuit wall has moved down to part of the way into the Houx Annexe field."













Looks like it's gonna be a bit a of a squeeze!

The ACO will split the available camping ground, not including access roads and divide it into 30sq mtr plots. That is how many passes will be issued.

This is their policy across all public campsites, so do not worry if you have annexe passes as you will have the same amount of room as before, not a lot, but enough.

I recognise those pictures biggrin These are from our visit to Le Mans to meet with the ACO and suppliers for our private campsite last week.

The ACO kindly took us on a tour of the construction work around the circuit and campsites at Le Mans. Houx Annexe will be smaller this year due to the changes to the Bugatti circuit and in preparation for the new stadium, which starts shortly after this years race.

There is also a new roundabout and checkpoints near Beausejour for access to Karting Nord, Technoparc, Houx and Houx Annexe. This has caused the squeeze on Karting Nord and the allocated pitches.

On Bleu parking there will also be a roundabout to provide better access to Maison Blanche. This will only be used when there are events on at the circuit.

The works at MB are going well and are due to finish close to the end of March. Although the campsite will not be used for the Moto 24 in April. It will however, be used for the Moto GP in May and of course the 24 Hour Race and the Classic.

Here are pictures of the progress at Maison Blanche
