Club Arnage Guide to Le Mans 2014 is ready for download
Hi all
The new Club Arnage Guide for 2014 is ready for download, as usual at http://www.clubarnage.com/caguide/ The guide is a little thinner than in previous years: - The section “Before you go” with information about campsites, ticket purchase and route descriptions is no longer a part of the print edition. We do still offer this information in the Club Arnage Wiki and should continue to update it there, but have restricted the information in this print edition to the stuff needed while being at the race track. So if you need this information just look up the wiki “before you go”. - I’ve also left out the “Bars and restaurants” chapter. The stuff hasn’t been updated since 2010 and just recently I learned by coincidence that some of the places mentioned there are out of business. I assume much in this chapter is out of date. This requires some thorough research this year, any volunteers? I wish all of you exciting 24h of Le Mans 2014 – and may the weather gods be with us! Best Werner |

Thanks for another fine guide Werner. This took over from the Autosport guide for me a good few years ago and really is THE guide to Le Mans.
(Just a shame the photo of my sunburnt neck queuing up for a crepe Grand Marnier has been cut along with the rest of bars and restaurant section!) |

@Aysedasi: I've seen your little update on that page, but you were the first one for many years. I'll have a stroll around the city centre myself after the scrutineering this year and will check some of the places. Must quality check the beers there Werner |

Pretty underwhelmed by today's Autosport offering - okay it's been a shadow of what it used to be for at least 10 years now, but all in all failed to really excite, or let me see how it might excite a more impartial observer.

Everybody always says that of the Autosport LM edition but I still think it's O.K as mainstream publication.
Obviously nothing compared to CA Guide but then again nothing is. Thank ya for all the contributors, look forward to reading it again. |

I guess my view is tinged a little by the pre-internet era when something like the Autosport guide was the only game in town for previewing the race - and you could spend a happy hour or so digesting all the details in it. |

I agree, for my first LM years the Autosport guide was a bible. However it declined as Autosport became more and more obsessed by F1 to the detriment of everything else, one year I think they even printed it the week of the race so most fans who were there couldn't even buy it. I went to the Autosport website this week for the first time in years and must admit I was pleasantly surprised; however F1 really does still dominate which is a shame and would stop me getting a subscription.

I suspect that to produce a more detailed guide would cost Autosport more in time and budget than they've got for a single issue. I still bought it though |

Saw it on the shelf today - tempted - but didn't.
I think it might remain there... |

And I can't be bothered to take train to Helsinki right now just to get that magazine (which arrives there delayed anyway) so I'll get the online version by 'other means'
