Hi!

This year there will be three of us - my son Tristan (now 24 and first came when he was 11), Esmeralda, 19 and, having lived last year, is on her second Le Mans.

We’ll be travelling out of Pompey to Caen on Tuesday and back on Sunday night.

In Beasusejour this year, wanted Houx Annex but the need to have 3 ACO accounts in step when booking meant that didn’t happen.

Going over Newhaven Dieppe on Tuesday back on Sunday

Team Booze'n'Tabs are in two campsites this year after Terte Rouge going.
Two of us in Team Langoustines site on the inside of Terte Rouge and six in Eppinettes.
Three out Monday. Four Wednesday and the final one Thursday.

Ferrari sold 20 trackday versions of theirs, and pretty sure Aston Martin will do the same. Project pays for itself.

So for us not making the pilgrimage to Circuit La Sarthe have you any special plans for the weekend? Watching the race in a weird location or anything?

Sadly with the work and redundancy processes I've had to skip this year to save pennies to air on the side of caution but the return is aimed for 2026 regardless.

43 days to go!  Seemed about the right time to start this years thread.

Lots of hurdles for people it seems to go this year but hopefully the annual pilgrimage will still happen for some.

ACO said no ticket no entry as none will be for sale on site.

Now Mclaren have said they are leaving Formula E this is really opening the door to move back here!

Hi all, the date and location for this is now set, it’ll be Friday, 13th June, start 8:00 pm at Camping Houx.

We’ve chosen Friday since there is no track action and Camping Houx because a whole bunch of CAers are staying there anyway (Neil, Julian, Dirk, Max, myself and some others).

How to find us: Using the car entry of Camping Houx just follow the tarmac road and you will find us after about 200 metres on the right side – look out for a big red tent and probably some CA flags. Coming from the track it’ll be on the left side then. Camping Houx is technically inside the track so you will need your entry ticket to access it.

This date will be a very special one for me (OTD 40 years ago in 1985 I set my foot for the first time on this track) so there will be some beers available.

Hope to see a few of you

Almost certainly there will not be anything on sale at the circuit unless the ACO find some tickets down the back of a sofa somewhere, I guess there will still be the odd thing on the resale site but that's about it.
