I can do better:

Preferred Campsite of most Club Arnage people.

Well as there are nearly 1600 club arnage members - i dont believe that more than 800 of them were on MB this year  :P

As you are so well informed Fran, how many of those 1600 members where actually there, and how many camped where? Just curious...... ;)

This film should be played at high volume, so don't come complaining about it! And who the hell is Steve?

I was on MB.  Is this a subject for a pole - would be quite interesting to know.

Even BSJ was crowded this year. No problem arriving thursday, by friday they were telling you where to camp. On saturday they had opened a reserve field with no toilets or water.
Wonder what will happen next year with the pug running and an increased French interest? This year was a record crowd at over 235,000 people, perhaps the dreaded pre marked plots will arrive in some campsites.
Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Hi Chris

good idea with the petrol station, thanks for that idea.

Cheers

Happy to log them on a map on my trip down, I'm doing an overnight journey, so any distraction will be helpful.

I will only be covering the motorway, but I can note which appear to be manned
Wooosh!!!!

great, very useful for next years guide, because some people reported problems with their foreign credit cards at un-manned petrol stations.

MarkCSC on Pistonheads gives the following tip:
"We had the same problem in Boulogne this year. Arrived late and couldn't get petrol anywhere. We crawled down the A16 at 40mph hoping to find a petrol station. In panic we pulled off and spoke to a guy in a Payage booth. He told us if we take the Le Touquet turning off the A16 you can buy petrol for cash by giving money to the Payage attendant.
So we did this and joy of joy they had 98 RON . Top tip if you ever get stuck in Boulogne with bugger all fuel."

Obviously not substantiated, but useful to have in the guide in case of emergency!

Does someone have pictures of the automobile museum at the track?
Inside & outside?
