Question from first timer

[steve_l]

Hi,
First visit to Le Mans and have decided to make a week of it.I will be in Maison Blanche,as I will be arriving early I assume the site will be pretty empty. Given a choice, what is the ideal position to pitch the tent? Anyone got a layout of site?
Can anyone recommend things of interest to see or do in the area?
Looking forward to seeing a few more Tiv's
Any help/advice appreciated
Steve

The best place to park your tent is the flatest greenest piece of grass you can find.

As a first timer you'll find plenty to do. Drive the circuit, visit the museum, drink in the city centre, drink in your tent. In truth there's never enough time to do everything.

Think about things like toilets, and water hook ups, you want to be close, but not too close

Masion Blanche fills up fairly early so you'll soon have a few mates!
Like someone said already, there is just too much to do. Its like Disney land for PetrolHeads!

You can always seek out the swimming pool in town. Its a nice new one with good changing rooms, showers, bogs etc.
If you wanna swim though you have to wear speedos, no shorts allowed.

Steve,
Surrey, Bristol and Cornwall TVRCC will be your neighbours. There will be 30+ cars decending during the week. Steve_T and I will be part of the forward party staking out our area. You can't miss us. We've got a huge flagpole with a TVR flag attached.
See you there!.

If you are going to be able to pick your campsite, I'd recommend selecting a site next to the "road" instead of further in the field. Last year I was sort of in the middle of a field in bleu and ended up getting boxed in by people who arrived later and couldn't get my car in and out. In other words, make sure that nobody can put themselves between your car and the road... Driving around is half the fun!

Thanks everyone for your comments,
Drinking, driving, swimming, sightseeing plus the racing seems a good way to spend the week. Hope the sun shines
