We stayed on Épinettes.  It's quite a trek in to the Tribunes heat from there especially in the brutal heat on Wednesday and Thursday. But stoppiing off at DFH  & Team Le Mans Zone made it tolerable.   
I think the ACO have sorted out there IT issues.  The ticket app worked flawlessly.  Though I know some people had an issue getting in to Épinettes as they lost their network at the gate. 
Traffic getting to and from the supermakets was not really a problem.  On a couple of occasions there was a hold up where I the car didn't have the correct ticket and so entered into a long discussion withthe guy on the gate and thus holding up all the traffic.
The installation of the foot bridges helped the traffic flow I think.

If only they would re-open Bleu Nord Camping.

That sounds stupid.   That would suggest you can't leave on foot and get the Tram in to town. I was in Houx last year and I'm sure I when out on foot a couple of times and I came back on foot too.  As you enterthere is a pedestrian gate to the left.

Early crossing Pompey to Caen arriving in Ėpinettes early evening on the 6th.
Depart Monday 16th.
No Canada Phil this year!
Hoping to be joined by Chris24 and  aricus654 later in the week.

I think that the transfer of tickets went pretty smoothly. 

Chris24 did ask me if we needed Mobile Data for the App.  So I asked the ACO and the Reply was:-

The Mobile App works offline (not on flight mode though) so your tickets can be scanned as long as the QR codes are imported. They will be available a few weeks/days before the event.
Please note that we provide a free wifi network on the circuit too.
 
We also have Ticketing Customer Service desks at the East and North gates if you have any problem.

My car is Diesel so no need to worry about Petrol. :-)   I've seen a few interesting cars down there and it's a pleasant drive too.

I plan to pop out there on Friday  if I don't see you then I'm sure we will bump in to you in T18.

No Canada Phil this year so just me.  Out Pompey -> Caen Tuesday 13:00 stay overnight in Faliase arrive Houx Wedbesday morning.    Depart Monday plan to visit the D-Day silhouettes at the  British Normandy Memorial on the way back.

Yes Merry Chrismas everyone.   the Days are getting long now so it wont ne long.

Whilst I have to agree that the ACO do seem to be over inflating the price of tickets.  The lean years for them with no Spectators in 2020 and limited numbers in 2021 and no doubt the over spend on the Centenary Race they are no doubt attempting to re-coup the losses. 

This year I spoke to a number of "New" groups who where really enjoying things on there first visit.  So even if the die hards stop going they will be replaced by a new generation of Fans.

Having only missed 2 races in the last 45 years I too am wondering if it's time to call it a day.  Prehaps the only thing stopping me giving up is the chance of some close racing with the Hypercars.

I used waze for the forst time in France because that was how the ACO directed me to the Ticket collection point.
Since then I've used it as my satnav of choice.

I'm using it on an iphone linked to CarPlay.  The best feature I find is that if I have an appiontment in my diary Waze automatically picks it up.

Cheers Lennart.

No comma No.

Phil has the Jab documentation.  I didn't tell him about Monkey Pox.  Even if I did I don't think it would put him off.

Canada Phil and I are heading out 7th Newhaven Dieppe arrive BN early evening.
Return Monday 14.

Lots of people are pointing out the negative aspects of Brexit.  I'm not sure I've seen any comments about the good things Brexit has bought us.
