PistonHeads is camping for the first time at this year's
Le Mans Classic
1st-Tickets
. We have our usual spot just a few minutes walk from the circuit, paddock and pit lane on Bleu Nord.
Camp out with fellow PHers
The Classic takes place every two years and is rightfully gaining popularity with each event. It's expected to attract over 100,000 visitors this time around with 400 competing cars built from 1923 to 1979, and 1,000 drivers on the track. Unlike the 'proper' Le Mans it isn't one continuous 24-hour race, but a variety of races for different categories, due to the huge speed differentials between the different classes - imagine chugging along in your Bentley 3-litre with Porsche 917s zipping past at 200mph-plus and you can appreciate why!
We have a 6000sq m pitch with roughly 100 PH spaces and, if you're quick enough, you can grab one of the remaining few. We open from Thursday July 5 and will be kicking you off on the morning of July 9.
Chill out in the PH marquee
Those of you, who have joined us at Le Mans before will no doubt vouch for the friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Secure fencing surrounds the site and our private PH marquee has a cash bar, fresh coffee, daily bread deliveries and phone/camera charging points. Camping doesn't necessarily need to lack glamour.
The guys from Graysin Racing are confirmed as our camping guests for the weekend and will be providing updates of the on-track exploits throughout the event. And if you prefer the party atmosphere of the main Le Mans 24-hour you can, of course, join us there too!
