Camping Bleu, is that reserved or free-for-all?

If the latter what will it be like for a Friday afternoon arrival?

Cheers

I mailed the ticket office asking if they still had reserved parking in Blanc and the replied saying that all the 'lay by' were sold out.  I thought that 'lay by' was one of the places you could camp.

Perhaps I confused them and should have asked for Garage Blanc.

I was hoping that after a few years not going the ticket situation might have evolved into something less shambolic.  Foolish me.

Your thoughts...

I'm afraid the Raoul references have gone so high over my head they have left earth orbit.

However, no I'm a pretty average 5'11 and a fag end.  Last time we went we slept in the Sprite and I can't say it was the best nights sleep I ever had but hey, Le Mans sleep is utility sleep, you don't want to lay-in anyway.  I'm struggling with the year we last went but it was very very wet and I had to gaffer tape up my hood to the sidescreen on the passenger side to stop the rain coming in.

About 10 years ago (the year that the TWR Porsche that turned out ot be one of the winning Jags rebodied won) we took my Fiat Dino and slept in it.  I woke up with a basket weave effect face,

It won't be the same without the opportunity to queue through the night to see dodgy ladies remove their clothes.

PC hits Le Mans, a shame.  Thanks for the info.

I think we are going to do it really light this year, just general admission and reserved parking with a cheap hotel the night before and after and sleeping in the Sprite on the night of the race.

Folks

I used to be a regular but finances have dictated that we've not been for a few years however we're thinking of doing a splash and dash this year, kipping in the car on Sat. night.  I've a few questions that you may be able to help with.

Are toilets stills as bad?  We used to get ACO stand tickets partly for the loos.

Do ACO tickets still go as quickly as they used too? Any likelyhood of them still being available.

Can you still park at Arnage and Mulsanne with parking passes from the main area.

Anything else that has changed over the last four years or so?

Cheers

Jeremy
