New date for the race?

[Kristof]

Does anyone know whether there are still camping tickets available through the ACO?
Got a few messages and questions from people around here that can order GE's but no camping.

Apparently you can but the ACO are opening one campsite at a time up to their capacity of 50k a day through the gates. So once Bleu Nord is "full" they will move on to the next.

If you want to camp, you don't get to choose where from what i've read unsure how true it is as I couldn't find a camping option.

There won't be any camping inside the circuit, just Blue Nord, Houx Annex and Epinettes I believe.  Once they are gone that's it.
However, those of us that had a credit note against last years race, which included in circuit camping (we had Mulsanne) will have been offered one Blue Nord.  If not everyone takes up the offer then those will go back on general sale.  I have been offered Blue Nord but won't be taking it, so that's at least one that will become available!

Hi Geoff,

Could I ask how you received notification please? (Email or Post?) - as I have not received any communication from ACO about ours yet?

Thanks

I got a letter in the post about this, arrived yesterday.

It came in the post, you'd have thought they would have used email, but heyho they are French!

I've emailed them to update my booking, especially as I was expecting two GA's on it, I think they seem to have forgotten that they said that anyone with a credit note for a Grandstand seat or parking would get one GA per seat or two per parking by default if they hadn't ordered GA's originally!

Not heard back yet of course!

Hopefully mine will arrive soon then - typical bloody Oxfordshire rural post!
We have GE on layby from last year as well.

Maybe they staggered sending them to avoid being overwhelmed.

As in I too mailed them yesterday, so 100% of people that we know of ( - and I know of at least one more)  who had received the letter have emailed them.

Yes - Indeed - they might well have staggered them to avoid being overwhelmed.
Not like they had an extra year to sort themselves out!

We are in Oxfordshire and ours arrived Tuesday I think it was. Other friends received theirs on Wednesday.
You'd think they had only just started running a 24 hour race by how disorganized they are!
