Should be setting up camp this time in 3 weeks

[FredericRobinson]

We’ll be on the Promocombes site behind Les Combes, you?

[FredericRobinson]

The facilities at les Combes are well below Le Mans standards, it’s cheap and bang next to the track though, I’ stayed at Eau Rouge a couple of times, but last time I tried to book they wanted a full weeks booking so I’ve not bothered again, very nice spot though

[FredericRobinson]

The cheapo ticket is ok for the paddock and pit building on the Thursday and Friday, that’s all I get as it’s 30 odd euros cheaper

[FredericRobinson]

Regarding tickets, for some reason they don’t seem to sell 4 day tickets on line, so if you’re going to practice days too, buy on the gate, cheaper than buying separate practice and race tickets on line

[FredericRobinson]

This is where I stay

Very basic, but very convenient

[FredericRobinson]

Not that I'm aware of, just turn up and pay, or in the case if me last year, if no-one asks for payment, don't

[FredericRobinson]

Should be fine, might have to go down to the lower field, there's also a field next door which is mainly used for car parking but has a fair few campers on it which is much quieter, that's to the left if you look at the photos on the website.

There's also a campsite to the right on the photos, over the road, which has more in the way of facilities, but is more boisterous, all 3 seem to be independent of each other

[FredericRobinson]

Only through the blancpain app, and previously the radio button hasn't worked so you've needed to go with the TV coverage and burns loads of data

[FredericRobinson]

It's race day race fans, the temps dropped 20 degrees, pack a kagool.

[FredericRobinson]

It's more steady than heavy now, not had much luck with the Spa weather this year with the snow at the WEC and this

[FredericRobinson]

Not raining that hard, we've stayed pretty dry

[FredericRobinson]

Looking good for British teams in the lower classes too

[FredericRobinson]

No-one who was at Le Mans a few years ago wants to see another Simmonsen have a big crash

[FredericRobinson]

This years race confirmed as behind closed doors and 24 hours, not the 25 that was talked about
