Your not too late, your just in time for 2004!

Make sure you shop around.

Others to try are Page and Moy, MRI, Driving clubs (ie TVRCC). The clubs sometimes sell off spare places.

Alternatively buy each part of the package individually. Race tickets etc from the ACO and Ferries from P&O/whatever. Can save some wonga.

Depends exactly what you're going to get from them?

If it's the basic camping package at Maison Blanche, etc, then they're fine.

However they had become known for their VIP camping package which is basically a secure campsite, "close" to the track, marked out plots, hot showers, clean loos, etc. When they started this off four years ago it was pretty good (secure area right next to Houx and good facilities) and worth the extra money, and as a result they built up a good reputation.... however IMHO this service has steadily gone downhill.... this year the VIP camping was not quite what they claim it to be, and they had a lot of complaints.... in fairness they did recognise and accept the issues, and consequently gave refunds to compensate for certain "problems". If you're thinking of using this particular camping, drop me an e-mail through my profile, and I can let you know more.

Must admit that a couple of months ago, I was adamant that I'd never use them again for any motorsport trip, in the meantime, they have however made an effort to explain their past problems and have made assurances that they'll be back on track this year.

Personally I would seek to buy camping directs direct from the ACO, (although bit late for next year!), and ferry directs direct from the ferry companies, or one of the specialised ferry bookers.

Although the ACO has sold out of camping tickets there are often tickets for sale on the Club Arnage site as the weekend gets nearer.
