Principally, the WEC’s management team requires confidence that the cost of travelling across the English Channel for a race would be offset, at least in part, via gate receipts.

Which is code for "The BRDC have not agreed to pay us our 'think-of-a-number and double it' hosting fee otherwise they'd be running the event at a loss" - the cost of a channel crossing pales into insignificance compared to sea/air freighting the paddock around the globe.

Quite!

Our third year on BSJ after being evicted from Epi and MB before that - we're now calling it our new home as it's just too much of a faff to get tickets for the other sites.
Arrived early enough to camp at Porsche Curves - a game-changer compared with the rest of the site as it's so much easier to get in/out
New big screen opp PC means little need to even leave the site now if one is feeling properly lazy.
Not enough bogs across BSJ, but especially at PC - it would cost a few grand for the ACO to double the allocation and the goodwill it buys is priceless.
Missed the karting circuit (no more pissed-up racing, the last bastion of the good (bad) old days now gone), but the fan zone they pun on it was pretty good, big enough bar, live music, new viewing ares etc.
Digital ticketing app worked a treat (who knew we'd ever praise the ACO for any technology?), even managed to immediately donate a spare GE to a friend waiting at Entree Sud on Tuesday suddenly realising they had brought a weekend only ticket !!
Navettes from BSJ entry mean it's now easier to get from there to just about anywhere than almost all of the other campsites (again, who knew we'd ever say BSJ was easy to get to anywhere from?!?)
Overall, as good as could be expected (but the fireworks and drone show was rubbish!)

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.

Definitely. Really good experience.

Liked the Porsche curves spectator areas. Now have 2 big wheels, not that I went on them.
The vastly improved toilets everywhere were great.
Terte Rouge fan zone was mostly empty. Rumour had it that the area of the zone means they can sell more tickets.
Overcrowded? Watch the start from Mulsanne then head to Arnarge, which looks like it could do with more food and beer stalls judging by the queue of people.
I really enjoyed it.

Already over 20,000 tickets sold for ELMS, so WEC will be big. As long as it's not in April.
