Help / Re: St Saturnin 'British Welcome'

« on: June 19, 2013, 02:21:52 pm »

This is a long shot, but does anyone know the name and/or email address of the person who organises the St Saturnin event?

I think, you find the info you need on their website

It's difficult to describe... the Le Mans week itself IS the unique attraction!  It's the atmosphere... The cars, the people, the sound, the view... even the weather... I think, all these are the reason for that unique and special atmosphere at Le Mans...  imagine a few hundred thousand people at the same racetrack - all there for the same reason: because they love motorsport, because they love Le Mans... Watching Le Mans is not enough... you must FEEL it...  going there only once in your life won't be enough... it's like a drug... it fills your senses and makes you addicted... There's such an unbelievable amount of passion and joy at the circuit that you can almost touch it. Even though you sleep only a few hours during the entire race week, the positive energies of the event recharge your batteries for a whole year! 

I went in 2009 for the first time and I want to return to Le Mans since then... I wanted to go last year, but it didn't work out... I wanted to go this year but I didn't manage to save enough money  Last year was OK but this year... it really hurts...  But I will never give up! I know I will return to Le Mans - and not only once.

In case of interest, please, take into account that I'm sending you the tickets from Hungary and - although I'll send them in the quickest possible way - it could take 2 or 3 days for them to arrive at your address (within Europe - unless you live in Austria).

A friendly lady from Hotel Anjou gave me the e-mail address of a German race tour organiser recently. Unfortunately I don't know anything about them, except that they've booked the entire Hotel Anjou in Le Mans for this year. Maybe Werner or someone else from Germany has more information about the agency. Their website:

Thanks Steve, but as for me - I can't...

I will be on a mission in LM   
I want to write on-site reports for fellow Hungarian motorsport fans. Most of them don't know anything else but F1. Someone has to broaden their horizons.
Plus I need the laptop to upload and store my photos. I don't want to buy more memory cards for my camera and those I have are just enough for 3 and a half days F1, so they definitely won't be enough for Le Mans.

Is Wi-Fi available around the circuit (let's say in the grandstands or the ACO members' area)? Does anyone know by any chance?

Help / Re: Le Mans hotel info

« on: April 24, 2009, 01:48:09 pm »

I don't mind walking. I would even walk to the circuit if there was no tram, bus or any other solution  It can't be much worse than walking up the hill from the train to the Hungaroring in 40 degrees in the blazing sun without any shadows on the way.

As for scruffy hotel rooms: there's a hotel in Budapest which used to advertise itself as a 4 star hotel but in fact those 4 stars existed only on the paper. The hotel was so bad, it didn't even deserve 1 star.

Help / Re: Le Mans hotel info

« on: April 24, 2009, 09:54:19 am »

Thanx, Phil, but I found a hotel room!  Galaxie confirmed my booking yesterday. The reason why I asked about those 2 hotels (Galaxie and de Rennes) in this thread was that they had free room(s).
I couldn't find any ratings on the internet for Galaxie but Termie said it's ok, so I booked there.
Hotel de Rennes have positive AND negative ratings on the internet and their price was a bit higher than the offer of Galaxie.

Mister Bed seems a bit weird for me... They say they're close to the city center. Looking at the map, it doesn't seem to be sooo close... Plus they want 90 € for a night and you can only book for 8 nights? I don't know if that hotel rating is true, but if it is: for that room they want 90 €? 
In Budapest during F1 you get a hotel room for 70-80 € in a 3 star hotel in the middle of the city center - in a proper room and with breakfast!
