Test weekend 2007

[Christopher]

I was planning on Test Weekend again but work has got in the way, and I will be in Aberdeen, so Mrs S is going to come up there for that weekend instead.

We had planned to stay at the Ibis Le Mans Centre - I have a booking (Fri/Sat, E196 total) if anyone needs it, but be quick!!

Thanks for the offer of taking over your booking, but there are four of us, and we need to be a little budget concious becasue of returning for the race weekend.

Anyone know any commercial campsites within sensible walking distance of the circuit?

If not then we are off to Spey (or is it Spay?)

It's Spay. 

Termie might be of more use but the only other campsite we found was http://bountylemans.com/page19.html  I know nothing about it but if it's the place we looked at last year for the Moto 24 it's owned by a Brit.

Spay is lovely though, very French!

Really I think that Spay is your best bet.  A nice alternative is
http://www.chateau-de-chanteloup.com/
which isn't within walking distance but given that the practice does not go on to late, it's possible to do the car journey (abt 30 minutes).  There's often a team in residence in the actual Chateau too!

That looks good and sounds nice.......but if my better half finds out I'm going there for test weekend after subjecting her to the delights of KN for the past few years during race weekend......I'll be strung up!

Looks like we will head to Spay for test weekend, as one of our group has stayed there before.

I take your point Christopher!  However, might be something to think about when you take your O/H next year.  Good if you have a partner who's not so into the racing as there's plenty to do.  I have friends who've stayed there a couple of times and they love it (non-racing types, if you can imagine such a thing.)
