ahhh, errrr, ummmmmm......pick on the new kid!

I know that you have access to full TV coverage, cold beer and hot food. I shall do some digging and get back to you. Have a look on speedchills.com at the different packages available. The major point for me was the food, i got sick to death of rank kebabs and dog burgers!!

i was going to book with them, but ended up with Team Langoustine.

Price was about the same, but instead of hot food to buy we got T18 seats and ACO membership.

Just seemed a better package to me (although when i am hunting for a decent meal i may regret it!)

Numerous other threads on this but a great set of guys and a good service.

We went for the first time last year in a westfield with a tent and sleeping bags and thats about it and without going through them would have been in trouble.

Food was good, beer was cold (no 1664 although don't know about this year).

Back this year, same car, with a morgan and focus in tow.

Really is a no brainer especially for first timers.

The only problem last year was that you could be anywhere on the site with a bit of a trek to their base. The campcreation camping takes away this problem if a little more expensive than last year.

Enjoy

Our group is going with them this year, usually we go to Karting Nord but had great trouble getting tickets.

The food and beer was a major part of the decision making progress having missed large quantities of previous weekends stuck in traffic going for supplies in Arnage.

One tight fisted member has questioned the price of the beer, obviously it will more than the 30 stubbies for a couple of euros but it will be cold and will not have 2 day burger blood congealing on it. Does anyone have an idea on prices?

can't remeber the exact prices from last year for the food and drink and wouldn't want to start a mass panic by guessing and getting it totally wrong, suffice to say we wern't overly surprised at the cost, i.e. not cheap, not over the top. but one persons interpretation of cheap/expensive can be different to the next. Sorry hope that makes sense but is absolutely no use at all.
Also worth noting that the exchange rate isn't going to help either this year.

Food was good though, full english breakfasts kept us going through the day and the evening meals tended to be a selection of 3 or 4 mains and 2 or 3 sweets but again this may change when we get there this year.

Only had one type of beer on tap last year but perfectly drinkable and cold.
I was told the wine was drinkable but as it sends me completely stupid i kept away although it ran out early on the Sunday night while the Indy GP was on the TV.

We are stopping on the way down to fill whatever space is left in the convoy with beer and wine so it might be an idea to do that to cover over inflated prices and shortage of supply later in the weekend.

Not really much help but there you go.

I think your looking at 15 euro's a meal, we thought this was a tad expensive, but it is very convenient and they are very helpful.

Toilets two years ago were just downright scary.

Went with these guys last year and booked again this year, we would of been very wet last year and it was a total life saver.
If i remember correctly the breakfast was about £6 and to be honest was good, it kept you going all day. The beer is cold and strong and the cider yum yum was even better !!!! all about £3.50.
There was 7 of us last year and when i started organising for this year was expecting the usual moaning etc, but the first question "we are joining Speedchills are'nt we"???
Says it all really !!
Cant wait now, you'll really enjoy it.

I've booked up with them - my 1st Le Mans trip for years. Are PH'ers meeting up or is anyone co-ordinating anything? I'm going ealy Friday and back late Monday. I'm relatively new to this PH thing so a bit ignorant.

There's 25 of us with Speedchills this year, pop over for a beer. As for Fri morning, the jury's still out on whether there'll be a meeting at Arnage corner it'll depend on the police but plan B is probably going to be a meet on the Mulsanne straight.

Hi All,

Would I be right in assuming all you on here who have booked with speechills will be going over to le-mans together and if camping then camping together on the same site beer

I really fancy doing this but am a complete le-mans virgin, so if workload allows I would like to tag onto an existing group for the journey there and back driving

Have you just booked the gen admission and ACO camping with speedchills and then booked the train separately.

Anybody going out Fri and coming back Sunday or Monday.

Sorry for all the questions, don't mean to be a pain, but this looks like a lot of fun thumbup
