Which would be far more sensible.
When has 'sensible' and 'ACO' ever been used in the same sentence? |

Big price rises on previous years. I note also that Houx and Epinettes are now marked as WITHOUT electricity ...... Anyone know where Prairie and Cormier will be located? |

I just looked it up: This year the ACO price for the Houx campsite was 125,- €, now they are asking 175,- € for next year, a 40% increase! This can't be justified with inflation only. Looks like the subject of this thread is spot on!

Have you also noted Werner that they are now advertising Houx as WITHOUT electricity, if that is actually the case and not a typo, that's a whole lot less for a whole bunch more ..... |

Probably somewhere near Ecommoy. |

Wow that is a increase. Time to get the lube out and bend over it seems, ESPECIALLY if the electric has gone

Bleu Nord is being used for camping at the bike 24.
Cost? 20€!
Ever felt you were being screwed?

They're all being advertised as without electricity though possibly because they'd have to provide proper supplies otherwise and no longer turn a blind eye to the Christmas trees of sockets and extensions that grow and grow during the week

I'm sort of working on the basis that compared to the British F1 GP weekend it remains good value. And if I keep saying that to myself...... but I do look on it that as a week in France with mates and an iconic motor race thrown in it can't be beaten. So I'll still be going while I can

I'll take a punt that the new sites of Prairie and Cormier are somewhere round here - https://maps.app.goo.gl/Cfb5WcN8vzcb5EKC7 |

I emailed them this not that it will make a blind bit of difference but hey I feel better for it 😊
Can the aco explain/justify the 40% increase in camping passes for epinettes this year's lm24 ?
As an aco member for 13 years and race attendee for 20+ years this is the most blatant explotation of your fan base I have ever experienced. Let alone the crazy price increase last year around the race for merchandise/food and drink.
It appears the aco only wants corporate fans from now on.
