Hello to all
« on: January 13, 2013, 08:28:42 pm »
Hi guys, great site! Lots and lots of good info, even for the more seasoned Le Mans visitor..I've been going for more then ten years, and still..., well, you never stop learning do you? We will be there at Tertre Rouge along the fence (as ever) for the 2013 race from sunday 16th on, so if you want a cold one just ask...

Regards, Markus

Welcome to CA Markus,

Inside Tertre Rouge is a marvellous location, have you been going there since your first LM?

Hi GF, no, it took several years for me to decide that TR was the place to be for me. In the early years I camped on almost every site there is, but the absolute lowpoint was bleu nord in 2007 next to the airport; waking up in 2 inches of water(remember 2007?) to the sound of yet another private plane at six in the morning realy got me thinking  that there had to be some better way to experience Le Mans....
But also, for me, Tertre Rouge is ideal because i've got bad knees and at TR you're so close to the action.. I had surgery in 2010, couldn't walk for sh*t,  but secured a place at the fence and had a great  Le Mans
not moving an inch...
But seriously TR is like a family gathering, same people every year, very relaxed and very motorsport minded...I can't wait!!
