2025 Le Mans with a 6 year old!

If you’re in a group staying en circuit plus GS tickets allows flexibility and meet up points

Ideally a private site with food provided and marquees and TVs etc so can follow race and have shelter et. - ones with trackside or short walk to track even better

Off site with a group is a pain driving in and o on taking up etc - enough driving getting there so don’t need 30 mins of queues etc

Private site with decent security also good for when you stay back at campsite etc

Ring up school for sicky Monday and don’t rush back Sunday

Edit- doing it as above costs an arm and leg so make the most of it

Out can walk on track after race and avoid crush by podium- decent walk back after race and then an easy Sunday is worth it

Just to say, staying off site and driving in each day isn't quite as bad as it's sometimes portrayed. We had zero difficulties last year and this year we only had queues of about 20 minutes getting in to Expo parking on race day, having stopped for breakfast in Arnage (as we do every day!). In fact the only bad queue we had was getting out of Expo at about 12.30 am on race night, but that was just very poor organisation/stewarding. Of course it depends on where you choose to stay. We have always been pretty lucky with traffic.

If you’re going to do it, do it like we did this year. Travel Destinations, Silver Glamping. Really good bed, walkable from the circuit, grandstand tickets (vital, we did T21 which was basically perfect), cooked food and great company.

It’s expensive, but if you stay in the public camping you’re taking a massive risk and they wee one may have a miserable time. So spending the money on Porsche Curves private camping is the best way to do it.

I took my 12 year old with me this year, and there times when he was exhausted and REALLY needed a comfortable bed to crash in.

Likewise we stayed off circuit this year and last, ten mins down the 323 into Expo. Never queued in and only Sat evening was a bit tricky getting out, but didn’t really delay us. Previously we’d done Thomas Cook, and that was excellent, even then wasn’t cheap. On circuit options thinner all the time and having a proper bed, shower, kitchen, outdoor space has proven to be a revelation. Camping is done!

Drove in Fri, Sat and Sun… from south direction, exiting into Expo.

Zero.. literally no queue. (Top marks to ACO for revised entry set up, taking away any back log on the road)

Park, cross the road and into entrance.

Slightly slow exiting on Sunday as you’d expect, but nothing extreme.

Parked in Panorama this year and Expo last year - no issues getting in or out multiple times both years.

Did have no trouble last two years walking from our tents to track in about 20 seconds or from TVs on Sunday morning this year to watch leaders go past each lap

2 mins to Porsche curves banking
