The Big Question

[Ren Dao]

Are TVR going for it again in 2004 - anyone heard anything

[littlegearl]

far as i know yes, they are being bankrolled by Richard Stanton (DeWalt sponsorship ran the Morgan entry before he switched his attentions to the TVR) and Bob Berridge who's the husband of Amanda Stretton

expect to see two cars next year (if they get an entry) one being driven by Stanton and probably two of this years drivers - eg: Mike Jordan / Tim Sugden / Richard Hay

the second car will be an all-girl line up of Stretton and Jacky Ickx's daughther Vanina and another...

- Bleu parking is next to the track, no need for bus ticket
- Basic CM package? If you mean camping then you wont need the parking ticket as you park on the campsite. if its one of the official campsites, they are next to the track as well.

A good way to understand the layout and what goes on is to get hold of a Page and Moy motorsports events brochure or the MRI brouchure.
Actually, its easier if I send you one of the news letters I make for our gang. Give me a few mins and then check your mail

Firstly the map on this thread shows you where th e campistes and parking is in relation to the circuit
www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=64080&f=25&h=0

I have stayed in a few and visited all and prefer Masion Blanche where I have stayed for the past 4 or 5 years (coming home for a break in between each race of course!).

Campsites seem to go on personal preference. We like Masion Blanche due to being able to watch the race from the campsite and also watch the wheelspin/burnout/donut road that runs between it and camping Bleu.
They had new toilets there this year too which was a bonus.

Dont worry too much about your campsite for the first year. They all have pros and cons and like I said its personal preference.

Sorry I havent emailed you the newsletter but I seem to have deleted it from my work machine so it is only at home.

TVRs from Surrey, Bristol and a few other regions will be in Maison Blanche so you'll be in good company.

I am in Manchester - really like the idea of Le Mans - aim to get something sorted soon - will keep in touch

[littlegearl]

if you book with CM using there basic package thats £165... that cover's camping (a week if you want to stay that long) meals fri-sun and parking

don't take the bus to the circuit, drive! even if you have to wait 'til you're back at the campsite to get pissed i guarentee driving will be better

buy bleu (or wherever) parking tickets at bleu parking... this also got us into parking at arnage this year!

sort out some ferry/train crossings...

don't forget petrol money, did 1200 miles at £150 this year!!!
