Technoparc Campsite

[MikeH]

Booked this one today, so is it any good? Grassy? Any facilities?

It was that or BSJ, and Techno was a lot closer to the main area from the looks of it. Don't mind a bit of a walk, used to it at Le Mans!

[Bobblehat]

I was there 2003, its a big green field, had a tolet block, but some one had nicked the shower block. They just towed it away in the night!

We planted some mint, to go with our Pimms, so there should be plenty for yours

Mind you on my invoice it said that Technoparc was full! BJ for us again, we will wave to you as we pass by on the bus!

[MikeH]

I booked from Just Tickets, any idea when I will get my tickets?

[smokie]

ACO letter said tickets will be issued from April to May. The agents may get theirs earlier or later. Sorry if that's not too helpful!

[MikeH]

That's fine, just wondering.

I'm just happy to get it booked! 52 quid does seem cheap...

[Steve Pyro]

The ACO rate for a Technoparc ticket is 41 euros (ACO member) or 45 euros (normal).  So roughly £36.

Do you get a General Admission ticket for your £52 from Just tickets?

......or a gold encrusted tent peg?  

[MikeH]

Just a campsite ticket. I assume that 3 of us in a car is OK? Don't want two cars with 6 people to arrive there, and then they tell us only two of us can camp...

Mike,
Where do you live ? I want to move there as money miust grow on trees round your way ! It must do if you think £52 is cheap for a camping pass !

You could have camped on Blue car park which is nearer for about £26.

[MikeH]

Well, BSJ and Technoparc were the only available ones... I thought it seemed cheap actually, 3 people for 50 quid...

Better than going on a cramped old coach like we have for the past two years, and that's bloody pricey! This works out a bit less, for camping ferry and ticket, and a lot more fun.

And it was a lot cheaper than Page and Moy aswell.

Hey Mike H, if your happy with what you paid then that`s all that matters. See you at LM.

Ditto Gab - It's all very well for those that have some dark art in getting camping permits, booking early has  not done us for the last seven years as we only ever need one camping permit.  As with most things in life, the only guarentee you have is if you pay through the nose.

For those that say book them at LM 2003 for LM 2004 or book in April 2005 for Le Mans 2007,  tried, and it doesn't work.  Even got someone who speaks the lingo to beg.  ACO are not interested if you only want one permit and four gen admin tickets.

So if your happy at 50 quid, ship it in dude, you'll have a great time.

Those of you now happy to let the rest of us know how you get cheap MB camping permits, let the forum speak.....................

You'll be in good company Mike, we'll be on Techno this year having been bumped from Karting due to the infiltration of the nazi hospitality machine.
Don't worry if there is no shower block tho, we'll just tow one back from Karting.
Hope your tent is fire resistent.

[MikeH]

No it isn't...

May I congratulate you?  Haven't been on this forum for a while and seeing you here reminded me.

Didn't get to LM04 but watched a bit on the telly.  Seeing the airial shot of an Audi zooming by the large white letters 'BRETHREN' written on the track had me in fits.  Well done dude

I don't know whooooooooo would have done that!

Hope your plans go better for this year man.
See you at the champagne bar, we'll be tricky to spot as there are only 60 of us this year but come over and have a beer mate.
