hi david beausjour is spot on for the inside of the porsche curves.a great place not to busy with good beer n pie van.you dont need to walk  just get trains and buses around the circuit.have a wicked time.

Thanks lofty. I'll watch the night time practice and quilifying at the porshe curves to avoid walking on the road in the dark afterwards and as you say there is shuttle busses I can use also. When I leave my tent on sat morning I'll not be returning to sun evening so there will be no problem, I'm excited to be apart of the 2013 Le Mans and my first time won't be put off by a little walking, i run marathons - a little walking isn't going to kill me, hopefully will get a few beeps when some CA members pass me during the week, just remember my tired feet when you see me in the beer tent

My wife always wonders wy i am away for 168 hrs to watch a 24 hrs race.

Lol, mine too. 60 cars going round in a circle (that is anything but a circle if you ask the 500k people there) for 24 hours is so boring, but shopping and fighting in car parks is a perfect day.
I'll never understand it  and I'll always be wrong when I try to explain.

Others can tell you the merits of BEAUSEJOUR but I can tell you with out a car or bicycle it is a loooong way from everything except the Porsche Curves.

This!

Camping a Beausejour without a car will probably ruin your trip. It's a minimum of a 45 min walk to the circuit. And there's a lot of walking to be done once you get trackside...

I know I know nothing when it comes to being there and I only know what I've read from the experts here and what I've seen in endless hours of watching the race at home but I assure where I camp will certainly not ruin my trip at all, thank you for the heads up about the distance to anything, I'll leave abit earlier than everyone else then. Thank you everybody that's said positive things, looking forward to hopefully putting some faces to names in the beer tent at some point.

A Motorsport fan will never let anything beat him, it rains you get wet, sun shines you get burnt, if its a distance, you set off earier to get there, your fav driver/rider gets beat, you proudly cheer on the second place driver/rider

Sounds as though you are hooked already, and you haven't even got there yet. 

hooked? lol i just have watched the entire 2008 and 2010 and races in full in the last 2 weeks, O to have seen the r10tdi live. 
not going with any expectations because i know it will surpass any i have.

Be prepared.  In June your life is going to take on a whole new meaning.

Welcome to the House of Fun

I'm sure that I read that it's only going to display the top 3, but having said that I now cannot find the article again so I may be mistaken.

Re-arrange the following words in to a well-known phrase or sentence:-

about teapot as chocolate useless as a

THE TOP 3?? that'll go down like a f*~t in a spacesuit with the fans, would have been better giving us all a free beer instead of the money that cost cos im pretty sure we'll all know the top 3 positions without the help from Michelin on this one.
