... camping there directly trackside reminded me a little on the old days at Maison Blanche or Karting Nord, when you could walk with your morning coffee from the tent to the track within minutes.


I miss those days ....

Me too!


Blimey, Neil, you're alive !!! How nice to hear from you, hope all is well.

Hated the weather this year, especially the 5 days of 6 degrees overnight temperatures from the Friday before Test. And the rain later in the week.


The weather was absolutely rude this year (and has continued to be for us in France ever since!) - there wasn't a single 'reliable' day (where one could know the weather would be fixed; either sunny all day or raining all day) and of course, the rain made BSJ (our 'not by choice' new home) a swamp.

This year could be the one that sees me putting the marquees up in the garden and spending the week 3 hours south of La Sarthe in 2025 .....

Yes
But not as big as last year's ones!

T23 (Motul) and T5 (Goodyear/Dunlop) are my preference.

Yes the ACO stand has a bar and toilets (and if you ever go to the MotoGP there, is a VERY welcome refuge), but the view is just of the pit straight unless you watch it on the TVs/big screens and I can do that with lots of much cheaper beer in the campsite.

We generally play 'who can reach their tent without falling on their face after 20 beers' - always a riot that one.

BSJ again for us this year after lack of Epilepsy availability  Angry - getting used to the 'joys' of BSJ after last year, at least the bus/train is OKish.
Advance party arrives Friday 7th, remainder variously some time before 15:00 Saturday, lol.

....That will be a bucket list item ticked, heading south not north after the race!

Congrats Baz, at last !!  Smiley

Hi John
So when on foot, you have to exit the campsite at the car entrance and reenter through the GE gate with everyone else?
As far as I know, yes. I've only even gone in on a media pass.
11  Club Arnage / Help / Re: Entrance/access Arnage camping/spectator banking on: March 27, 2024, 03:30:14 pm
Baz,

Camping and GE spectator entry are separated to keep the pikies/riff-raff away from the campers.

We always stay the Sunday night, leaving Monday AM is so much less stressful.
Generally pack most things down and leave the tents and 1 marquee until Monday AM, get breakfast out of the way, pack down and out by 10:30am Monday and it's a few minutes to the A28.

BoP needs a few tweaks but they do have a couple of races before the big one to tinker with it.

Will be interesting to see how the new wing affects the car in Imola next as it's not a high speed track. Either way there will be some interesting BoP adjustments coming I'd guess.

To be fair, the resale site actually works too, we sold a couple of spares via it this year. Once sold the ACO return you the money you initially spent on the ticket and the buyer gets their ticket with the knowledge that it's genuine. We've lost heaps in the past selling over-priced agency GE's (you know the deal, must buy two per camping space even if you don't need them) via ebay just to recover some of the spend, so this seems a pretty fair solution to me.
