Well most places will be booked now, you should be able to get some passes on eBay however.

Beermountain.com is the best guide to campsites IMO.

I'll be there!

I'll be on the 0800 Norfolk Lines Crossing from Dover to Dunkerque on Thursday 11th, and then taking the N138 down.

Tickets to get in to the race will be available on arrival from the ACO. Camping could be trickier - you used to be able to pitch up and errrr, pitch :oops:

As previously mentioned beermountain.com is a pretty good reference.

When are you guys travelling?
Be good... and if you can't be good... be good at it

I may see you around Dover before hand - look out for the badly applied stickered Z4M :roll:

My wife and I got a late booking, camping in a chateau somewhere to the NE of Le Mans. We have never been before and it is something that I have always wanted to do. However, we booked a Friday crossing, which I think means that we miss some of the events.

Haven't yet decided whether to take her Z4 or my M3. We could, perhaps take the Polo diesel and thereby have more affinity with the likely winner!

BMW M2C - gone, replaced with an i4, but its only use is shopping, the Z is our main touring vehicle

Long gone, but not forgotten - 1988 E30 M3

:rofl: This isn't diesel as we know it - apparently it's around 14 Euro a litre! I'm hoping for an emphaticly diesel trouncing performance from the Aston Martin LMP1 - I'll be sacrificing chickens the night before :evil:

The weather is set to clear by Friday - you'd only regret not having the Z4 :D
