Le Mans Friday Service

[dylanthomasuk]

Thinking about going to the Friday Service at Le Mans (Saint-Saturnian) but camping at Beauséjour at the time. I’m assuming that it is possible to drive between the two i.e. not trapped within the circuit boundaries due to closures?

Nope, not trapped.

Either left out of Beausjour, under the track at the Porsche Curves, and right at the roundabout to head north or straight north out of Beausjour, up past Karting/Houx/etc and following whatever random route the police are picking this year to get going north towards Carrefour.

Just head for Saint-Saturnian and as soon as you're past the A11 you'll see "Classic British Welcome" signs - though probably already in the train of cars all going the same way.

Signed up ... A little over excited and since realised in wrong type of car this year, so either need to figure out park and ride or hoping for leniency as we will at least be stickered up

They are very strict on the entry criteria for two seaters or classic cars so if your car doesn't meet them, I'm afraid you'll be turned away. There'll be plenty of public parking just outside though to walk in.

Noted about car requirements. Pistonheads specific ticket not required then, I assume?

Blimey, Pistonheads area already fully booked.

Can I assume 2 x F-Type Jags rocking up will be allowed in to the general GBW areas?

Indeed. Anything with 2 doors gets waved in.

We’re taking the Corvette C8 up there. Never been before, looks like it should be an excellent day out. What’s parking like. Is it total bedlam.

[Bargetastic]

I'll cancel my ticket, so others can attend, we will attend on foot

[Bargetastic]

We loved it last year so have high hopes again for this year.

Have cancelled our ticket so if anyone needs one, Fastest les Cadbury fingres, first

Looks like I've just got your cancelled ticket as it's now back to waiting list. Last time I was in the XJS but this time will be the MX5. It's been 10 years since I last went so really looking forward to it

Thank you, appreciate it. You can still come and find one of us in the PH area handing out stickers if you need any new smileys

The Friday Service is basically just a meet-within-a-meet at the Classic British Welcome and reasonably well organised and marshelled these days. Provided everyone has a little patience and isn't a dick, forming a nose-to-tail queue up the single track road past the exit turning, everything usually keeps flowing.

[dylanthomasuk]

Also cancelled my ticket for those on the waiting list

Nice. We were in our mx5 last year!
