CA Le Mans Guide 2007: Your input is needed - New editorial team

I think it would be a good idea to have someone not involved in putting the content together to proofread the document.

Absolutely, Rich, I share that point of view. I've put you on the task list for this, hopefully some others will commit too, so this can be shared.

Have a nice weekend

Werner

i'll gladly help out with this also.

I've posted a request for feedback over on the Porsche club site.

I'll post any feedback for those that don't wander over here and log-in themselves.

Thanks a lot, I've put you down as our "liaison officer" to the Porsche Club GB

cheers

The 2006 guide was brilliant; it had so much in it I did not need to buy anything else.

If you need any help for next year let me know.

Mr Nopanic, many thanks for your offer of help, always on look out for willing slaves, any special skills, knowledge, or general improvements or items which should or should not be included?

The guide is for you the Le Mans fan.  Let us know what you want.

To those who are going to the Classic:

Could someone check about the availability of banking facilities at the track, are there ATMs? If so, where exactly in the village can they be found? Which banking-cards are accepted?

Thanks

Werner

There was one ATM fixed in the village during the 24hours, located near the center on the same alley way as the shampoo bar. I will confirm at the classic, take a photo looking looking like a ATM anorak!

Wonderful, Rick, thanks

Wouldn't the programme map, show the location, it was there, you could spot it because of the long queue.

Correct it is shown on the programme map as a Euro symbol, next to the Racing Legends stand, as you come from the new tunnel it is on the left as you enter the New village area

Campsites.

It would be useful to indicate the general popularity of each site.

For instance for the last 5 years I've arrived on Thursday evening.

Two years ago we arrived in Bleu Sud to find it practically full, moved to the adjacent field to find lots of space, this year that was apparently not allowed.

This year we were in Bleu Nord , arrived Thursday evening at about 9pm and whilst it was filling up had no problems. Awoke the following morning to find it nearly full, arriving after about 10am and it would probably have been full.

So it would be useful for anyone planning to arrive late to book one of the "slower to fill" sites , as anyone booking MB would probably find it difficult even on Wednesday and impossible on Friday.

So whilst BSJ might be furthest from most of the action it must be the best bet for a late arrival.

Of course this is not an easy thing to gauge but forewarned is better than nothing.

Good idea for the introduction of the campsite chapter.
To all the others: What are your expieriences about this?

More input will help to come to a sound judgement on this topic for each campsite

Cheers

Maison Blanche

Monday: Choose your spot
Tuesday: Choose your spot. Best ones will have gone
Wednesday: Some large areas left
Thursday: Hardly any room left
Friday: Forget MB unless you have mates keeping you room
Saturday: You must be joking.

We always arrive Monday.

Maison Blanche is an up-market site.
Tarmac Roads to keep the dust down
Good Atmosphere with large groups.

DfH, SPS, JPC, The Brethren and many more.

Prefered Campsite of Club Arnage people.
