Return to Le Mans

[Andy Ha]

I used to visit the race every year as part of a lads week away. However havn't been for about 20 years. Do I still just turn up at the circuit and buy a ticket for the camp site ( Camping Les Houx?)and Village/circuit

I'm sure a real expert will be along in a minute, but in the meantime...

You can get race entry tickets and probably camping at Beausejour on the day, anything else would need to be booked in advance now I think.

I got all I needed on eBay about 10 days before going last year, no sweat. Planning has started earlier this year as I want better ferry times.

General entry will not be a problem on the day, even some grandstands are available from the box office, but you may run the risk of having seats seperate if in a group.
Camping is not so easy. Le Houx on the day is out of the question and in the past you could rely on at least a spot on Beausejour. However in 2008 with the absense of the annexe, Beau is likely to be full before the race weekend also. So my advise is do not risk it. Buy at least your camping now.
If you buy Houx now, then if you find you cannot make it, then you will be able to sell either on Fleabay or the clasified on PH.

Thanks, will watch the forum and get my self back up to speed.

Have the ACO started selling tickets direct yet?

[FredericRobinson]

The ACO start taking orders for the race at the pre-qualifying weekend for the previous years. i.e. tickets for next year went on sale 2 weeks before this years race, although you'll only get confirmation of whether you've got what you asked for aroung new year.
