International Ten-Tenths camp II (2015)

Hi

After a very successful 1th edition of the ten-tenths international camp for oversea s guests at Le Mans 2014 we are now ready to announce that the camp will be open for 2015 again.

With the future of Maison Blanch still to be revealed the actual place of the camp is still unknown, but I try to get a spot near the Village and preferably on the inside of the circuit.

The arrangement includes:

1 tent in the camp available from Wednesday morning – Sunday
1 Entrance ticket for the whole weekend
Breakfast in camp Wednesday – Sunday (continental)

The price will be 300 euro for the first person in a tent.
If you are 2 persons sharing a tent the second person will be 270 euro.

As this is a trip arranged by fans for fans there will not be staff in the camp, so it is a trip where you get the full Le Mans road trip experience. We help each other in camp with all the practical stuff and share our knowledge about the race and all that is happening around it.
I have been going to Le Mans for 11 years, and have made a camp for friends and their friends for the last 8 years. The camp varies from 8 – 35 people.
The camp has been a fundraiser for my sons karting team for the last 3 years and any profit will be used to make him go faster. Maybe we will have an insider at Le Mans in 7 –8 years?

There will be 10 tent(h)s available at the camp. First come, first served.

If you are interested and have any questions please ask. Either in the tread or via mail: kpkorsager@hotmail.com

Yours, Kenn Korsager (kpkorsager)

Kenn, it was so great to meet you this year at Le Mans! Hopefully you'll remember my wife and I from the meeting.

I had been so worried about her first visit to Le Mans and how she would react to 5 nights in a tent at a race track in France. I am pleased to report that she thoroughly enjoyed it! To the point that she wants to come back again next year. Her and I are both very interested in the Danish camp and think that it will be a fun experience after having stayed with the Brits at the Travel Destinations Porsche Curves campsite. So please, add my wife and I to the list of people who will be coming.

A few questions for you:

1. I have been to many, many race tracks and as a guy I could care less about the bathroom and shower situation, however my wife thinks differently. How are the bathrooms and showers at your location? Are there only port-potties, or are there bathrooms in a building? Are there decent showers with hot water?

2. We are considering not renting a car next time so that we can take the train straight down from Paris and then take the train from Le Mans to Southern France. Do you guys usually head into town and go to the grocery store for food and beer? If we didn't have a car would there be room to join someone on a trip to the store to stock up on supplies? It would only need to be one trip for the duration (we can bring a small cooler).

3. Are you able to get grandstand tickets, or should I find those from another source?

I'm sure I'll think of other questions, but that is it for now. Thanks!

Hi.

I surely remember you, and will look forward to meeting you and your wife again next year. I will be happy to have you in our camp.

Please wight me an email with your resevation to kenn.korsager@bestseller.com.

I have tryied to answer your questions below:



A few questions for you:

1. I have been to many, many race tracks and as a guy I could care less about the bathroom and shower situation, however my wife thinks differently. How are the bathrooms and showers at your location? Are there only port-potties, or are there bathrooms in a building? Are there decent showers with hot water?

It will depend on wether we get Maison Blanch or an other campsite. If we manage to get on to Maison Blanch the toilets and showers is in a permanent building and have nice hot water.
I dont know about Houx or Houx annex where i have asked for campsites should we not get in to Maison Blanch

2. We are considering not renting a car next time so that we can take the train straight down from Paris and then take the train from Le Mans to Southern France. Do you guys usually head into town and go to the grocery store for food and beer? If we didn't have a car would there be room to join someone on a trip to the store to stock up on supplies? It would only need to be one trip for the duration (we can bring a small cooler).

We do a run to the supermarked every morning for breakfast and there is room for 3 ekstra so no problem. If you come by train and the time fits with other plans I might be able to pick you up from the train station.

3. Are you able to get grandstand tickets, or should I find those from another source?

You are best of getting them from ACO or an other supplyer. I dont have direct acces to them and should buy them the same way.

I'm sure I'll think of other questions, but that is it for now. Thanks! [/QUOTE]

Any other questions, dont hesitate to ask.

Kenn

Houx also has a permanent building and some temporaraly.
Houx Annexe has temporaraly portacabins (containers) only and are perfectly fine.
Both have warm water. Choose your time well to avoid the queue (mostly in the morning) but I think it's the same in Maison Blanche.
In the early days HA was the 'wildest' campsite, now a days, it is no different to the other campsites. You just have to have a little luck with your neighbours.

With new ACO rules every year it is getting better, also in my opinion the crowd on de campsites is getting older (and wiser?), that helps. I keep on meeting the same people every year. Some though still come for only fun and make NOISE so better hope they aren't your neighbours. Ear protection is standard equipement.

I'm not entirely certain that was the sentiment you were coming out with on Weds/Thurs this year, when we were becoming more than usually familiar with some neighbour's passion for Bruce Springsteen and Iron Maiden...

Has anyone heard from Kenn lately? I'm signed up for the camp next year. He'd said that deposits were due Dec. 1 and I'm possibly heading out of town soon and will be quite busy. I sent him an email over a week ago asking for his details to send him the deposit and haven't received a reply. He's usually quite responsive.

Happy to say that I am paid in full and counting the days until the camp opens up (173)!

My two previous Le Mans trips have been in the Travel Destinations "glamping" site at Porsche Curves. I'm now looking forward to what seems like it may be a more authentic Le Mans camping experience. Looking forward to not having to hike so far to reach the paddock area. Looking forward to experiencing how the Danes do Le Mans. Man, I'm just looking forward to all of it!

Already booked my grandstand seat for the Ford Chicane (Racorrd.. whatever, don't know how to spell the proper name).

Arriving a couple of days before Scrutineering and will spend those days in Paris. During Scrutineering I'll be down in Angers. On the Wednesday I'll get to the campsite.

Man, I can't wait!

So lets have an update on the camp for 2015.

We will be on Houx on the numbered part where we will have 6 spots in total.
At present we are:

2 Americans
1 British
1 Icelandic (CTD)

and a group off danes.

There is still room for 1 or 2 tents if anyone else want to stay with this mixed group.

Seeing as how I've only ever stayed at the Porsche Curves campsite and am not terribly familiar with the public campsites I did a quick search as I was curious about Houx campsite. Sounds like it's a great site! Excellent location and services. Well done Kenn!
