... camping there directly trackside reminded me a little on the old days at Maison Blanche or Karting Nord, when you could walk with your morning coffee from the tent to the track within minutes.

I miss those days ....

Me too!

I had a phone call with Team Langoustine last night: The ACO has informed them that Blue Nord will not be available for camping next year. They will use it for parking. Maison Blanche has already been closed 2 years ago, now Blue Nord will not be availbale, I really wonder what the options for private campers will be.

Did they give your any alternatives to BN Werner?

TL hopes for an allocation on the Hippodrome for us.

Hippodrome -  where is that ?

Booked my outward this morning. I'll be headed over aboard the Pont Aven from Plymouth to Roscoff on Tuesday May 30.

Did this route a few weeks back, nice crossing, just a long way down to Plymouth for me.

Ferry was good, bar did close at about midnight - but 1st time I have seem armed police and French Army on board - whole trip.

And when getting in to France only 30 mins, to get through passport control.

Also ate before got on board as limited food on board (when I went)

Bookings for 2023 are now open.

I have booked mine, as I think it may be busy next year and as everything is going up - I got mine in now

See you all in a field in France 2023  ;D

Got stopped once - drinking from a can, the others in our group walked in, they were drinking from Le Mans beakers, and I got stopped - told could not take it in, so had to down in very quickly to walk in.

Kept them very happy.

Walked in - 10ft (3m for the French) and open my other can that was in my pocket. - Oh well

Did anyone else notice, all the ACO beer on site was Carlsberg 3.6% - last time was Kronenbourg 4.2% (I think) - Price was the same as last time, from memory

It was great to be back in Houx with DFH, Ewan, Steve and the rest of the gang. The newbies seemed to enjoy themselves. Great to spend time with everyone and plenty of great moments.

See you all in 2023 for the anniversary madness.

Yes good again this year, on Houx, I think I saw you there jules  ;D
