"Zoning" of Maison Blanche, Bleu sud and nord...

[Paddy_NL]

Just spoke to smokie by phone. He definitenitely has been awarded MB tickets, and has already faxed his choice of MB-area back.
So he must be on the "magic list" for definite, lucky man
 
The rest of us can wait untill Febuary - no choice of area, obviousely

Or a choice on Bleu Nord if we're lucky....

Don't get downhearted Paddy, my e-mail definately says that allocations will begin NEXT WEEK, in order of the date they were requested (habitues - regulars - this week).  This would make the timescale precisely on a par with last year.  I requested my tickets on Wednesday practice morning and my allocation letter was posted to me on 21st December.
The LETTER which Fagey quotes, is the one that was sent out in August to me.

But you fell off your bike getting back there 

How secure did it feel on there?  I'm concerned about it being  "outside the fence"?

Its true I did fall off my bike heading home, but technically I was still inside the MB perimeter fence at the time!

As for security, never had any problems on any of the "outside" campsites so far.  *touch wood*

Just found this posting on the Porsche Club GB Forum, it's a story about how they deal with the campsite issue at Le Mans, see http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=228222

Is that an idea for the future? Could CA approach the ACO in a similar way?
Any ideas?

[fagey]

I agree.. it is worth a shot at least.. and we have the names to go for at the ACO

Interestingly the post contains the following

Discussions turned inevitably to our presence this year, and I was delighted to be told the ACO had absolutely nothing to discuss on the negative, other than to state (going forward) that due to H&S issues our perimeter will be moved to allow a 50m exclusion zone (from the edge of track) to avoid any “flying debris”.

Could this 50m exclusion zone count for the unavilability of certain areas in MB?

...that due to H&S issues our perimeter will be moved to allow a 50m exclusion zone (from the edge of track) to avoid any “flying debris”.

If a wheel comes off in a huge accident and flies over the high fences, the safest place to be is probably Bleu Nord. Anything can happen at Maison Blanche

Or you could be hit by a flying microwave oven just about anywhere.

If you tell me what Zones you have chosen,then i will do the same.
It does look more likely though that i wont be using them in 2007 but i dont want to fall off the magic list.(I will have 4 MB tickets up for grabs)
