Tetre Rouge

[Lord Steve]

It's my 20th anniversary trip this year and, for the first time, I find myself on Tetre Rouge. This campsite gets good reports but I wondered what first hand experience fellow Club Arnagers have had.

[Fisherman]

We wouldn't camp anywhere else, what would you like to know?

[hgb]

It's a bit busy because the whole lot of traffic is going through... no, not cars but people pi$$ing all about ? I've never camped there. Also, isn't a bit far away from all the partying for you.I would try to stay as close as I can.

[Fisherman]

There's no traffic passing through the campsite itself, the marshals do a very good job on the gates with passouts, there's some noise noticeable from the motorway early in the week when the site and track are quiet, obviously it's noisy from the track during the race & practise but that's what you get for camping trackside.
I was shocked when I first visited other campsites & saw that anyone who wanted could wander in and out.

[Steve TTTD]

Been on TR every time I've gone sinec 1999 apart from two years where I left it too late to get tickets and eneded up in Bleu Nord.
I wouldn't camp elsewhere, It's quieter than most of the other sites and feels more 'Protected' while the race is on.
If you get tere early enough or are creative with your wiring it's also possible to get an electric supply as well.

Allways camped on Tetre Rouge or it's predecessor Panorama since I first went in 1981. Good access to the track, spaces not numbered (or at least last year they weren't) showers and toilet blocks, water taps and possibly electric hook up. As other have said a bit noisy during race and practice (depending on the number of diesels) with regular helicopter pass overs. Booked again for this year so look forward to seeing you and making sure your tax returns are in order

[Lord Steve]

Thanks everyone. I like the idea of better security and being close to the track during the race. Sounds good to me.

[Fisherman]

When are you due to arrive your Lordship?

[Lord Steve]

I think my train gets in to Le Mans station at around 2pm Thursday.

[Fisherman]

Are you joining an advance party? There'll still be spaces but the best will be long gone by then

[Lord Steve]

Yeah, the Tres Hombres Racing advanced party will be there before me. With a bit of luck they'll have my tent etected and a cold one waiting for me!

[Ade]

I think my train gets in to Le Mans station at around 2pm Thursday.

With fair weather & a following wind we should arrive at Le Mans station at 2:40 PM

[Lord Steve]

Ah, I wasn't far out. Thanks Ade.

Easy access to the titty bar at Tertre Rouge I suppose!

[Lord Steve]

Titty bar? I didn't see any tits the last time I was in there. Lots of people in the Stella Bar behaving like tits!
Are we talking about the same place?
