I'd be happy if they would present a car at all, no matter what the color or brand name. In the last 2 years there have been some press relases about their Hypercar but except some computer graphics they never presented anything.

We stayed on Epinettes for the Classic 2016 and were very happy with the place. Start-Finish-Area, Dunlop Chicane, Esses and Tertre Rouge are almost equidistant (15-20 min. walk). Driving in and out and the access to local roads was easy and possible throughout the whole event. Showers and toilet facilities were OK. I cannot judge the quality of the drainage because the weather during the Classic 2016 was brilliant, no rain at all. Electric hook-ups were not available, AFAIK the only campsite option with electricity on site are the numbered pitches on Camping Houx (not Houx Annexe) which is next to Epinettes. We will stay there again next year during the Classic.

Hope that helps a little

Very tempted Werner. I’ll have a word

Would be great to see you there. We'll be 9 from Team LeMansZone + 3 DfH (Martijn, Max and his son). You would be camping right next to us.
36  Club Arnage / General Discussion / Re: Who, Where, When and What? (Or NOT??) 2021 on: August 12, 2021, 09:17:59 am
Team LeMansZone will be with 9 people on BN (Wednesday- Monday), joined by Max and Martijn from DfH.

So now that those who already have booked and paid their campsite tickets can go - who will be there in September?

Team LeMansZone will be at BN with about 10 people!

Well, make that 4 people only. Most of us, including me, have pulled the plug when it became clear that access to the track will be restricted to one section only.
39  Club Arnage / General Discussion / Re: Roll call - September at Camp Carnage on BN on: June 30, 2020, 05:31:38 pm
Team Robbo will be there. Around 12 of us next  to you I presume.

Excellent! Grin

Looks like a "go" for those who have already booked and paid campsite tickets:

https://www.lemans.org/en/news/watchwords-for-this-year-s-24-hours-of-le-mans-solidarity-and-responsibility/53979:
The 88th 24 Hours of Le Mans will take place on 19–20 September, with a smaller crowd than usual. Entry will be granted to all racegoers who have already booked their tickets (until June 29). Ticket sales have been suspended until further notice, pending government announcements and according to the evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic. In the current circumstances, the 24 Hours of Le Mans will be using its global reach to emphasise the need for solidarity and responsibility, two watchwords that epitomise the values of endurance racing and the team spirit that has reigned over Le Mans since 1923.
Exceptional circumstances call for an exceptional event. Due to restrictions imposed during the Covid-19 pandemic, the race programme will be more streamlined and crowds thinner for this year’s event.
Ticket sales have been suspended in the hope that conditions improve, enabling current restrictions on large crowds to be lifted. Only ACO members* and anyone who already holds a ticket for the race will be admitted to the circuit as a spectator. ACO members, spectators and authorised resellers who have already booked and paid for grandstand tickets, camping areas, parking spaces or ACO member hospitality areas may purchase the corresponding tickets for the race. Please contact ACO customer services (serviceclients@lemans.org).

15, could have been 16 but I overestimated the acceleration of a beetle - strange, since I've owned one Grin

When the phrase 'race of attrition' really was true.
LMP675 was fun though, loved it when MG were scaring the sh*t out of Audi in 2002, until they blew their engines!


Oh, I loved the MG too - because of a much lower car weight they were able to compete against LMP900 cars, well, at least as long as they lasted. That changed unfortunately completely with the introduction of the LMP1/LMP2 rules in 2005.

LMP2 – I still remember the time when the teams could built their own chassis and put whatever engine they liked in the back, e.g. a Mazda, AER, Judd, Zytek and others. I did media work for an LMP2 -team in those days and noticed that costs had started to skyrocket because of that freedom. And reliability was very low – I still remember the 2007 Le Mans when they even didn’t have enough teams to fill the podium after the race – only 2 LMP2 teams were classified.

This got a lot better when they introduced the cost capped chassis in 2011 and a few years later the Gibson engine, which is also cost-capped. Of course, I miss the variety of open- and closed LMP2-prototypes which we had until 2010, but the racing, the competition has become a lot better nowadays and because of the cost cap more teams can afford to race in this class. And these cars are quick – in 2019 the LMP2 did lap times of around 3:25 – which was a good time for an LMP1 not so long ago.

Currently the plan for 2021 for LMP2 is to reduce the output of the Gibson engine by 40 hp and introduce a standard tyre supplier for this class – all of this to make sure that there is a  performance gap compared to the new Hypercar/LMDh class.
