it is on the M1 side of Flore about 1.5 miles from the motorway.

not so sure it is the same place as they only had a limited menu on friday night and the only steak they had was sirloin which had to be consumed in very small pieces. the only good thing about the meal was they only charged us for 2 courses instead of 3 and missed off a bottle of wine.

they also tried to charge us for some drinks on saturday night, when we asked to see the ticket you needed to have signed to charge it to the room they did not have one. after we told them that we were not guests at the wedding and could not get a drink on saturday evening they mumbled something about it must have been put on to our bill by mistake.

the more i think about it i really should have stayed at the track.

  we will not be staying there again !!

it was the Mariott Courtyard hotel near Flore

it rained  

blimey sounds like you staked a claim to a big old lot of ground  i see that you must have put lessons learned from Le Mans in to good practice.

we were on site this year from about 8.30 so i am sure we could wake everyone up a bit earlier. what time can you get in there from?

looking at your other posts, i think it is the way to do it.

we could not even get a drink back at the hotel as they had a wedding going on.

best we start planning now !

How much did they charge for camping? was it per tent? did they limit how much space you could take up?

Hi all,
we were at the damp weekends events although we opted for the wimps excursion and stayed in a hotel
at about 9pm on the saturday evening she that must be obeyed went off to answer the call of nature and came back telling us that all the stalls and toilets etc were closing down.

how was it on the camp site did you have any "facilities"?
we are thinking of camping next year so wondered what you though of it

Don't hold back tell us what you really think 

P.S. i do happen to agree with you

Hello all,

Does anyone know what the format is for the weekend? is there a pit walk on friday? i know the race is on saturday.

We spent £400 and were the official drinking partner the 78 PK Sport car last year. We said we would drink an extra beer for each hour the car was running. Had a look round the garage on the friday and was told we would get a call on the sunday to go to the garage and see a pit stop during the race. shame they only lasted 3 hours !!!!! so we just carried on drinking anyway  

i dream of leaving on thursday i am not getting away from Hertford till 10 am on friday !!!

i know we have yet to complete the main event of our year but......

does anyone know what the form for the 1000k races?
is it the same as Le Mans i.e pit walk on friday, drink, drink, eat, drink, sleep
then Saturday is a bit of practice then drink, eat,  the race starts, drink you get the picture  

do all the cars run in one race or am i better off staying on for the sunday to watch the GT cars?

Unfortunately not, we normaly travel on the thursday early morning but i have to wait for one of our team who does not finish until 10.am on friday   so i am aiming for the 13.15 from dover.

we have been driving to Le Mans for the last 6 years and have always gone via Rouen.

is that the best way or is via Paris the better route?

after being stuck behind a horse box for 20 miles yesterday i am starting to wonder.

we will not be getting to Calais until about 3.30 on friday

i know when the new road opens all will be great but for this year i was thinking of giving it a go via Paris

Any help or advice will be much appreciated.

as i remember i think i ordered about 20 with lanyards as well.

The lady i spoke to was Victoria.

Now the bad news, they did sting me a bit for getting them over to the UK, can't remember the exact amount but it was expensive. You may be better to get them shipped to someone you know in the states and asking them to forward them on to you.

can't remember why we did not use these people.

I got some sorted for our tour last year. i ended up getting them from the states as that was the only place i could find where you did not have to buy 500 of them at a go !
