Yep, Ayse, you can make it. More depending of the hour you'll be up in the morning. Try to leave quite early (say 7 or 8am) and you'll be safe... you may lose some time leaving Paris (where do you intend to spend the night ?) and then around the track to join your parking lot...

Tickets available so it looks like I'm off to my first Le Mans

Don't think I'll make the Saturday meet, but Sunday seems fine.

7.00 a.m. for the Tourists? I suspect not. I'm going to have to make sure the Chief Tourist cracks his whip though!

Once, I lost 1h30 to do the last kilometre to the garage blanc ! I was coming from the north-east and it was about half past ten. I suggest to by-pass Le Mans on the A11 motorway to the west and take the N226 then the N23R. You will get on the circuit from the west and avoid the terrible roundabout that you have to negociate if you come from the north-east.

If you are travaling with MRI you should be at the circuit somewhere between 7 and 8am, thats what has happen when I have travelled with them.

Agree ! It works quite well when you reach the circuit from Le Mans South... except the very arrival, that could be a bit loaded, but still acceptable... try to not arrive on the spot on the last hurs though...

I'll be there at 8 for sure (if not even earlier !), at white as usual

Is anyone still waiting for camping tickets?

I'm in Beausejour but am on the waiting list for Houx Annex

I'm afraid having to use a courtesy bus takes the edge off it for me (especially on Friday when there arn't any)

You're right - Le Mans ZI Sud is the best A11 exit. in fact when you come from Paris (The city not the heiress...) it's the last exit called "le mans"

I have ferry sorted. I will be taking my Subaru down again.
Think i will camp now and buy entry tickets at the gate. This should work - right???
Read up above and the lay-by idea sounds like a go-er.
Thanks all for the advice.

Still waiting for mine, but they are coming from Airtrack.
A freind is still waiting for his and they are coming from the ACO!!

Pilgrimage - entry tickets should be easy to get from the gate, we always get ours from one of the entrance gate's

Credentials approved; travel arranged; Karting Nord camping pass in negotiation (with an invitation to MB and Houx if that does not work out); work schedule punched up and being initiated.

I will be at the Saturday meeting for sure and will try to make the Friday one as well. I CAN'T WAIT!

haggispeed has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Anyone any suggestions for other campsites near le Mans ? - I know we won't get a "Lay By" site this late in the day, thinking of camping a few miles away then using the pit bike to get to circuit Could only find one and the are fully booked

Beausejour Camping passes are still available direct from the ACO. There are also returns coming back now to them so it is well worth giving them a call.

Go to www.lemans.org and follow the links to the ticket office
