How was the campsite?

Really good tbh!

Access was easy & the site was still relatively empty on Weds afternoon. We were able to pick our pitch & spread out a bit. Toilets/showers were a 30sec walk. Clean & warm showers til Sun AM

 We watched a good bit of the race sat on top of the motorhome soaking up the atmosphere.

My only suggestion for the organisers would be to keep the campsite pedestrian access separate to that of the public viewing area- so access to the campsite area is only allowable with a camping pass- rather than the public being able to mill about. Whilst the access was controlled at the main entrance for both public & campers (& there was no hint of any issues)- I think most folk would feel more secure if non-camping spectators weren’t allowed free roam about the campsite

Aside from that maybe a couple of more vendors rather than the single offering- & more public conveniences!
I always go there at the end of the race and had the same thoughts any tom dick or harry could wonder over to your gear and leave tbh but seemed a nice quite site.

Fortunately I didn’t see one bit of bother & everyone was well behaved.

Just a pity our awesome Friday cut long best part of a lap was ruined by scrotes lifting our bikes from the tram stop. Triple locked in plain site too.  ::) ???

Overall a great trip save for 2 bikes lifted from the tram stop by Tetre Rouge on the Friday- my mate’s & his sons which I was borrowing  :(

Bikes were securely triple locked & the tram stop must have been busy all afternoon/evening. Dirty French scrotes.

They had previously been fine chained up outside the main circuit entrance….

Thanks gents

We will be at Folkestone by 1 or 2am on Weds- so I’m hoping we might just luck in & get to travel earlier.

Current itinerary has us ETA to Arnage around 1600-1700.

Just the one motorhome for us (FP54). Fingers crossed we’ll squeeze ourselves in somewhere

Same here. Absolutely can’t wait now.

Over the bridge to Wales Tues evening to then motor down to Folkestone in the motor home.

Might get an earlier crossing if we are lucky but not holding my breath tbh

The good old BBC long-ranger suggests partly cloudy but mid 20’s from Weds 8th through til the Monday. Dropping off to 9 or 10 overnight.

Sounds more than acceptable to me for the moment

Arriving to this campsite a week Wednesday!

Does anybody know what route we’ll need to take for access & how busy the site is likely to be by Wednesday afternoon?

Myself & my bezzer Dan arriving Weds 8th in motorhome FP54.

Cotswolds > Folkestone TUNNEL Calais > Le Mans.

Cannot bl**dy wait! ;D

He’s a LM virgin so I can’t wait for him to experience Arnage at night!

We are (were) regulars at RALLY GB- but Dan trying LM on my recommendation!  Should be mega.

Cheers, Chris

Morning all.

Due to make my 2nd visit to Le Mans arriving Weds 8th.

Last visit was in 18 camping at Porsche Curves with Travel Destinations.

Travelling in luxury this year with mate Dan in his motorhome with tickets for camping at Arnage!

Absolutely cannot wait! Much to do as the trip confirmation has been late (work :-/)

Looking forward to catching up with friends & hopefully making some new ones!

Chris
