Guys and girls, since I was around 15, now 37, myself and some friends have longed to do LeMans but each year came and went and we never got anything sorted, (life seems to get in the way and throw a curve ball)this years it's finally on!!

We are getting the ferry early Friday morning and heading home Monday, work is getting in the way of coming any earlier which is a shame but should arrive around 10-11am on Friday, any advice would be appreciated, we are camping and have pretty much everything we need for camping etc.

The use of toll roads, fuel stations, supermarkets etc, where to go and what not to do, 5 eager (idiot) brits abroad!

Already half packed, we were going to travel in two cars, my red 96 855R and my friends Daytona violet M3 but we are going all boring and coming down in our V70D5 boo I hear you say (or not)

Can't wait now, any info much appreciated

Thanks!!!

Again thanks for the info, I can't remember which site we are on but all I know is we have a 2 pitches allocated to us on our site.

We are changing the ferry to an earlier crossing, Dover - Calais, looking at 5-6am crossing which would be better, had a look and it's a 4.4.5 hour stint down

Thanks again

Thanks very much to you all so far!!!

Much appreciated, gutted about the beer situation, might have to find some convenient stash in the car if they are doing that, are BBQs are permitted??

Was hoping for great atmosphere great racing, beer and BBQ with friends and likeminded enthusiasts!!!!

Cannot thank everyone enough for the advice, really looking forward to going now and we seem to have every eventuality covered fingers crossed, think this might already be the first of many to come, we are on bleu nord site, two pitches next to each other booked and paid for so we shouldn't have any issue with room etc, one big tent and the V70 so fingers crossed lots of room on the pitch for everything

Thanks for the replies, very interesting and a real help, change of ferry time with a 2am ferry on the Friday morning so factoring in crossing time and 1 hour ahead we should be too far off 10am

We have a 2 hour window on the ferry so we could potentially get an earlier one anyway

Cheers
