I'm Going (1st Time)
Discussion
I've been to the 6hrs Silverstone the last 2 years but the date change for next year doesn't suit one of "the lads" so we decided to go for the big one!
Booked the Thomas Cook package, Wed-Mon. Campsite looks good and secure with toilets/showers/phone chargers. Booked a 1am coach tour to Arnage and Mulsanne corners as well.
We're looking at flying to Paris and getting the TGV as ferry options from Ireland don't quite work out and I don't quite fancy doing Belfast-Cairnryan-South Coast route.
The race at the front shouldn't be too hard to follow with basically 1 LMP-H but looking forward to the event.
Couple of questions:
Is a lack of car going to greatly hinder things? Tram looks decent enough and people have been suggesting bus routes to the Classic British Welcome.
What time should we aim to be in Le Mans for the Driver Parade?
I'll probably have a million more but just really looking forward to it!

Have you looked at Ryanair Dublin to Tours it’s not so far away with train service
Just did thanks, although looks like it's only Monday and Friday.FARP - Thanks for all the advice and I'll keep an eye out for the Jags!
Think I'll skip the Classic British Welcome, do the pit walk on Friday morning, into Le Mans for lunch and get a good spot for the parade.
The main reason for the pre-erected tent is that we’re flying to Paris and getting the TGV to Le Mans. Any ferries from Ireland-France are overnight and £££. I’ve got the boat over to Scotland and driven down to Silverstone twice before and I wouldn’t fancy driving any further.
I’ve always been a bit of a train geek and the TGV’s always been something I’d like to experience.
I did a lot of camping when I was younger and I think I missed the only dry Le Mans in history last year so I’ll be well prepared for rain.
