Stay with PistonHeads and 1st Tickets at Le Mans in 2025
Discussion
Once again we're teaming up with our longstanding partner 1st Tickets to offer private camping packages at the 24 and Classic in 2025.
We didn’t actually publicly launch either event this year, as they both sold out within a matter of hours of our private pre-sale launching. However luckily for you, we now have a very limited amount of spaces that have become available. Book yours today before they sell out again!
You can find our more about the 24 Hours of Le Mans here and the Le Mans Classic here. See you there!

Not long now until Le Mans 2025, which means its not long until the FRIDAY SERVICE at THE CLASSIC BRITISH WELCOME. 
This year's theme will be celebrating iconic French marque Matra. As always, its a great event with over 1,000 classic and performance cars. We'll be there with a dedicated PistonHeads display area, however we are limited to just 50 cars. Entry is strict and only open to classic and two-seater sports cars, join the event by signing up here: https://www.pistonheads.com/calendar/event.asp?i=1...

Does anyone know what is the earliest we can get onto the site? I've got my tickets but can't see it on there anywhere and the team are in the field setting up already (a good thing!) so a bit hard to get hold of!
Thanks
Brian isn't heading out until Friday I believe, so you should be able to get through to him.Thanks
How’s the new campsite location?! I’m doing the Classic this year, so I’m curious what the new location is like (& the TV’s set up to watch the 24hrs at home). I’m sure the 1st Tickets team have it firing on all cylinders so to speak, but I’ve previously only ever been to Bleu Nord...
Not a big fan. I want to be closer to the track / main entrance. Beausejour is kinda far from almost everything.
Always been a big fan of the PH/1st tickets Bleu Nord joint venture campsite, but I've reached a tipping point I'm afraid... also I've never really liked the food, but found it next level horrendous this year. Honestly wouldn't feed it to my dog 😂
Sad to say but I'll probably be looking out for a different spot next year.

My 3rd year with 1st tickets and I liked the new site. We solved the distance issue with e-scooters as yes it is further to the Motul grandstand we prefer. But for a quick pop in it is close to Karting and that is developing into a decent fan zone / watching location.
I thought the food in 1st tickets was fine - no better or worse than previous years and a damn site more convenient than full on self-catering plus avoids the ‘all burger’ diet that tends to ensue if you rely solely on the catering outliers (yes there is a much wider selection than just burgers but the queues are pretty long).
Toilets and showers in 1st tickets were fine and well maintained. I liked that as well as the bar in ‘our’ marquee there was a bit of a village feel to the area where we left the wider campsite.
Well done to Brian and the team

Brian is our hero for sure! Mega guy, would definitely pop in for a (few) beer(s) with him should we not return.
But sorry, I know British cuisine ain't the best but it's almost an accomplishment to serve something that bad - which is not Brian's fault, obviously.
Tent with TV = excellent, but commercials every 5min is quite annoying. Needs continuous live streaming with radio le mans AND the timing needs to be on point. I watched the start in the tent and it's quite annoying to hear the moves before you actually see it on the screen.
Toilets and showers excellent indeed, no complaints there.
Unable to take e-steps or bikes in our cars so that will (probably) never be an option for us. We don't mind driving (for example during the night to Hotel Arbor, Mulsanne Corner or Tertre Rouge) but we don't want to do everything by car which is nigh impossible during the day, especially parkingwise.
To each his own, of course. But yes, kudos to Brian and his team - they're all super nice!

Got my tickets from 1st tickets, my 1st Classic, have done 2 24 hours with them. Have received 2 stickers, i take it that allows me into the Piston heads parking and onto the track for the parade lap on the Friday? Can't see a time in the letter or where to meet, have received 2 links to maps which to me are a bit confusing :-(
I'm after a gps for the meeting point and the piston heads car parking for goggle maps
here are the links, maybe i'm being thick !

it says Parade Clubs 3 on the red sticker and P3 on the Green sticker
any help would be great :-)

thanks sorted now
I thought I updated that post :-(
I do need to know if you can wear training shoes in the paddocks?
it says Parade Clubs 3 on the red sticker
So i'm on the track from 08:50 to 09:15 the 3rd and last parade out
and P3 on the Green sticker
Which is the Parking at Vert
Need to pop along there on the Thursday and drop some pins for goggle maps, and If i meet up at Vert for the parade lap? might give 1st tickets a ring later in the week if I don't hear anything
