After losing Terte Rouge campsite we moved to the inside of Terte Rouge to Team Langoustine.  Great campsite and food provided.

we were with Team Langoustine at Tetre Rouge too after many years on Houx Annexe and Blue Nord. We all really enjoyed it and will be back next year. The food was great especially the Nepalese curry. It was nice to have decent bogs and showers with no queues. Highly recommend staying with the shrimp guys.

Probably not Barry. The ACO don’t seem to want it remembered. Sees it only warrants a tiny plaque on the pit straight wall

Hi All
Have seen the QR code…
Also bought access to the ACO area at La Chappelle. Anyone have any idea where that shows or do you present your membership card?
DW

In past years you had to go to the ACO building on the pit straight to pick up a wristband and a goody bag. The wrist band will get you into the fan area at La Chappelle and the ACO building where you can use the showers and decent bogs. They also have lockers you can use to save you carrying your sh*t backwards and forward from the campsite. Plus the beer in there is cheaper than the rest of the circuit.

Never showed a ticket of any sort 2 years ago and I walked through Houx quite a few time en route from Hippo to the circuit. A camping ticket covers one car that could have 5 people in it who could all leave and return to the camp site separately and not everyone will have a campsite pass. Don’t worry peeps all will be fine.

Moved by admin?

Reassuring to know that Smokie is still lurking in the background, looking after us and keeping us safe.

How are you Geoff? Long time no see.

General Discussion / New grandstand?

Anyone know if the rumoured new grandstand at the first chicane will be up and running this year? Can’t find a mention of it on the ACO’s website. Maybe it is only a rumour.

Didn’t think you were going next year Barry.

Add yes, a meet up would be great. We’ll have a practise run at Spa Werner. Usual place.

I don't think I've been here for years. Let's say 'Stuff' got in the way.

I've enjoyed spectating from the sofa this year, with a VPN enabled dodgy French stream and RLM on in the background.

Hope whoever went had a belting time and managed to at least keep their undercrackers dry.

Well well here’s a name from the past. How the devil are you Nick? Long time no see. Hope you are  well. The last year of the old Houx Annexe with your BBQ missiles still gets mentioned quite often when relating tales of Le Mans shenanigans.

You see that’s what I like, one new post and a moderator turns up to look after us and make sure we don’t see naughty words or get bombarded with commercial enterprises.

Agree Barry. Facebook page is a waste of time. It’s been hijacked by a few who have probably never been on this grand old forum. Where’s the banter, where’s the piss taking? Where’s Smoky telling us all play nicely? Let’s get good old CA back to its former glory.
