Id really like to go this year but havent got a clue how it works and do not own a tent.

Tent? Oh yeah i'll need one of those too, expect i'll try and borrow one a week or so before departing!

I'm looking forward to the drive there / back, the race and the partying but not so much the three nights camping. I've started praying to various gods and idols for hot dry weather!

We're at Houx Annex as well with 10 plots, i think 9 of them Porsches.
All getting there different routes with me travelling on the Hull to Zeebrugge ferry and crossing fingers for ground clearance.

Booked euro tunnel to go out on Fri and back on Mon. Never been before and a bit apprehensive about camping. Going with a few mates. If it's not that good suppose you can just drive down to the south of france etc.

Judging by the pictures on the Le Mans forum and in particular, the number of supercar owners who seem to be happy slumming it for the weekend, it can't be that bad....

I plan to head down with a group of mates. Just pulling numbers together at the moment, but i'll be heading down for the weekend.

Do you have to stay in a tent?

The last few years there's been big group of Danes @ the Porsche Curves throughout the weekend...basically they just parked up with sleeping bags, a few chairs (obligatory beer bottle mountain!) an just slept where they watched!!! Providing it's not raining I think anything goes!

[nervous]

maybe.

though the classic 'ring 24hrs is on the same weekend and seems more appealing somehow, mostly by virtue of not being set in a puddle filled with french excrement.

[andy tims]

[warmfuzzies]

Bother not going this year............no licence after previous years drunken phone calls back home, and co-pilots going awol on me ;-))))

I can't go this year but if you need a tent there is a Decathlon store near the Houx Annex campsite, they always have loads of the cheap pop type tents in stock. You will save on luggage space that way. Buy one there and set fire to it when you leave so the Pikeys dont get it.
