Thanks again to everyone for the help. I've now picked up a Beausejour camping ticket (£50 of eBay). I know it's only encouraging them - but at least I'm sorted. Some of the prices are just plain daft.

The main concern now is getting the Healey up and running - the engine is currently out awaiting a rebuild/upgrade! Also I'm not entirely sure how tents, sleeping bags etc will fit in - given that the boot will be full of spares. I gather there's a Carrefour nearby........

Cheers again.

Hi again, and thanks for all the useful info.

While this thread is going, I wonder if someone could enlighten me about driving round the track on Friday.

Is it free? How much of the track is open? How long is it open for? Are there any sped limits? Is anyone sober enough? Does that matter?

The dilemma I'm in is that some of our group want to travel down on Friday night, while I and one other would be keen to get there sooner. If it's worth getting there for the track driving, then that'll swing it!

I know arriving on Saturday morning will stuff my chances of getting a decent campsite spot etc - but I'm buggered anyway by the choice of car. You can't fit much in a Healey 100 - especially with a boot full of spares - so I wasn't planning one of the large spreads described above!

So tell me - would it be worth making the effort to chuck the old Healey around the track?

Cheers!

Cheers for the help and advice. I've now got sorted for a car park pass from DavesDad and shall see how it goes for the camping tickets. The ones on Ebay are going for daft money. I think I'll take the advice and wait until a bit nearer the time.

The cheapest tickets going are for Bausejour - but I gather this is a fair hike from the village. It would be great to hear someone's opinion on the site, especially compared to the others. Is it a case that new sites take some time to get going as people tend to return to the same place each year?

Any other tips or advice would be greatfully received.

Cheers again.

Hi

Sorry to hear about your disappointment.

If the parking ticket is still going I'll take that off your hands.

Thanks

Here I am, 37 years old and never been to Le Mans! Having decided to make the effort this year, I have of course discovered that I should have started planning last June. If anyone can help with tickets it would be much appreciated.

I'm desperate (?) for a camping ticket - preferably houx annex or bleu but to be quite honest I'll consider anything.

Also I might be after a car park ticket as at the moment we've got three people - and only two seats in the car. The plan was to take a second car and dump it in a car park (or elsewhere) for the weekend. Does this make sense? I have presumed there's no problem in people walking into the campsite.

Can someone also confirm that general admission tickets are readily available at the circuit - there seem to be plenty for sale on websites so I was wondering if you needed to get them beforehand.

Any help/advice would be much appreciated.
