The most interesting aspect of this, fagey, is the new Tertre Rouge campsite with tents provided!  Might be very good for one or two people coming long distances with minimal luggage?

[fagey]

maybe so.. but what quality??

[termietermite]

Probably no worse than the average Supermarket one!  And I see they have 24hr logos on - could they become a collector's item?

[fagey]

probably.. cos there will only be 100 of them per year

I have visions of people coming back to the camp site and finding their tents gone.

exactly.. and all the same looking.. imagine after a calvados or three trying to find yours in the middle of the night

35 square metre per ticket on HA? How on earth are they going to police that? It will be very interesting to see if I still have an area taped off waiting for me on Friday morning

[fagey]

it certainley will be an eye opener this year!!

The new site might be appealing if you are light weight.  But then how do you get your tent back. :-)  At around twice the price of MB and Houx and three times the price of most of the other sites I really wonder if it's good value.  It does have the edge over Houx in that it has a Track view.  I notice it also has Electricity.

On the down side they will rigourously enforce the 30m² area limit as they are putting up the tents.  Note also the space is 5m² less than what your allowed in the other sites. (We know how creative we can be with that. )

There looks like there is a much more comprehensive shuttle service too.

The new BSJ site looks interesting.  3 cars 2 campers or a Bus.  For sure if there is a group of you it may be worth considering. 

105m²  of grass now your talking.

No doubt they'll give us plenty to moan about as ever, but at least some attempt is being made to do new things.
Did anybody see the Audi staff campsite last year?  Will the new one resemble that.. rows and rows of identical little silver tents (maybe the ACO have bought last year's and put their logos on them..)
