mitchell Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Hiya, not sure if im posting in this in the right area but ive been invited on a stag do at Le Mans this year.

Lbm Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 There's quite a few threads on people's trips to Le Mans on here. After a simple search, take this test. 1. Do you like fast noisy cars? 2. You you like cars that make little noise, yet glide along at a very rapid speeds? 3. Do you like beer? 4. Are you ok with ferries and/or trains in tunnels? 5. Do you like beer? Hopefully your answers will help you decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I've got the movie if that helps? They tried to combine a love story with a racing film and produced neither. Plotless and boring throughout but Steve McQueen still did a good job of carrying his character, the guilt-ridden driver who accidentally killed the love interest's husband in a previous race. Copious shots of them staring at eachother from a safe distance in the pit area. It was doomed to failure right there, if you ask me, though she did seem to find him intriguing, nonetheless. Probably felt sorry for him after the initial outrage had faded. Given time, I think they might have hit it off. We shall never know.

Morpheus Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Apparently, if you stay on the campsite, the fun is in tents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Turism0 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I believe they are per night mate, they do have specific pricing for Le Mans weekend mind, iirc I paid about 90 euros for a week as we had a pitch to ourselves which I think you can get about 4 tents on ....the facilities are first rate and all the people that stay there are really friendly aswell as the staff.

That sounds good if it is per pitch. If it was per tent then it would be a bit pricey. It's still 16km from the circuit though. We have been spoiled by getting to a car park that is 100 yards from the circuit. We get there on the Wednesday before they cordon it off and generally we have not had any problems. In the last couple of years it has got harder and harder to relax for fear of being moved on. We have not paid for camping in the last 7 years or so and we borrow the toilets and facilities on the circuit. I may give this a go when we go next year..!! Cheers Dan. H.

Guest SCR Racing Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 So, regardless of fruit on head and hovering things....Le Mans is great?! I went in 2009 and will be going this year - coincidentally on a stag doo. Le Mans is, in a word... Mega. But if I had to further clarify, I'd say: Booze, cars, booze, music, booze, 24 hours of loud, booze, cars, booze, cars, crashes, booze. And booze. And cars.
