Late Le Mans Decision
Discussion
I've never been to Le Mans before. But my son and I have been tentatively considering going this year.
Booked the Friday and Monday off work. Happy to camp, but worried that we've left it a bit late to organise.
In truth, I'm a little bewildered by all the different offers and deals, places to camp etc, that it's put me off organising something before now.
Looked at the official PH trip, but that struck me as expensive compared to general camping.
We could travel down in either my son's Cobra (it has a boot, but a lack of weather protection) or my Noble (hard top, aircon, but no space). Not decided yet.
As a bonus, I see Jamiroquai are playing on the Friday. Is it really free?
Not on a tight budget, but don't want to spend the earth or over-pay.
So can you offer any advice as to where to book, where to camp, where to watch, how to get around, what to take, what it costs. What to eat. etc, etc.
I would anticipate getting an earlyish Friday crossing, arrive lunchtime to pitchup & get bearings, JK concert in the evening. Interested in the Aston Martin support race. Stay up through Saturday night until race finish on Sunday. Get some sleep then amble back home on the Monday.
Any groups to tag along with, that fit my schedule?

I wasn’t sure I could go this year, but now thankfully I can. Just booked 2 standard pitches in the 1st tickets private site. Been with them many times before and the benefits have already been called out, you get what you pay for IMHO.
Book quickly though, only a couple of spaces left.
OK, I took the plunge and also booked a small pitch with 1st Tickets.Book quickly though, only a couple of spaces left.
3:30am crossing on the Friday, so hope to arrive mid-morning.
Let's hope the Cobra makes it!
Thanks for all the suggestions.
