Looking to attend Le Mans for the first time (I'm 58!) with my son next year.

I'm undecided whether to drive down in an interesting/enjoyable car (Alpina B3 / AM Vantage / Integrale) with a tent, making it part of the adventure, or to take the motorhome, which would give me my own loo, comfortable bed, clean shower, cooking facilities, and more...

I think the latter makes the most sense, but I feel a bit of FOMO about not taking a car.

I'd love to hear thoughts from experienced Le Mans attendees and get some recommendations for a relaxing schedule, as well as the best places to camp or organisations to book through.

[quote=BeeGT]I've done a few with MH or campervan replacing the car and always leave the weekend thinking how different it might have been had I taken the car instead, as you are tied to the circuit or reliant on the trams (or taking a couple of cycles). It also depends on how long you will make the trip and whether or not on the Friday you want to get out to a couple of the car meets, as well as your enjoyment of the drive there and back. If it's your first trip then I'd suggest prioritising freedom of options over comfort and plan for the drive.

Thanks for taking the time to provide this info. Appreciated.

Thank you for all the suggestions and advice! Much appreciated.

Having a think about doing the Classic this time as it fits in better with my son’s university term dates and there’s a bit more available accommodation choice.
