Tuxman,

By coincidence I posted this on another L Mans PH thread this morning...should help you out, and I think it will answer any points yopu have. If not ask away! Hope that your injury does not spoil the enjoyment!.........

For the record, Parking Blanc is outside the circuit and starts just across the road from the entrance to the circuit that is at the start of the pits straight, and it extends down as far as past La Sarthe (previously Maison Blanche) grandstand. It backs on to the eastern side of the aerodrome. The ticket gets you an assigned space which is yours throughout the week so you can go and come as you please using your assigned space. In other words it is better than just turning up and parking in a space that you are directed to.

I think that Parking Blanc is available to ACO members, ticketing firms, and then the public in that order, although I am sure tickets can be booked on the ACO website early on. I have never seen tickets being sold on the day and I assume that they must be prebooked.

It is a carpark for cars only ie no space at all given over for tents, although usually some people do try and get away with small ones, which can cause friction as they will be encroaching into someone's allotted car space. I would, therefore not recommend Parking Blanc at all for people who want to camp: the specific camp sites are far better for space and other facilities etc.

Hi Tuxman,

You going in your Noble to Le Mans? Parking Blanc has some exotic stuff parked there usually, so I'll check out all the Nobles! My son and I will be there Saturday and Sunday, we're travelling down on Friday.
