Pushing camping away allows for bigger trade village and going forward a few years - premium camping sites closer in with EV charging options.

Fan zones further out just mean more control over beer and food.

Hope it doesn’t really backfire after 2024 when manufacturers and fan interest starts to wain.
I can't see that anything the ACO have changed is truly safety related.

I was told so - but emergency access infield on Saturday and Sunday and capacity didn’t need such drastic changes

Agreed. If that reason was put forward - why now? They could have made these changes years ago. The arrival (return) of prestigious manufacturers and their corporate dosh + the centenary seems to me to be the overwhelming reason, no matter how it's dressed up.

Even without the centenary shenanigans, next year sees Alpins, BMW, Lamborghini and maybe Honda join the party. And hopefully Isotta Fraschini. Not going to be any less busy/bonkers.

Nothing officially booked so far, just wondering if this whole 100 year thing has been over hyped! Find it crazy that the ACO decided to change the ticket allocation for this year with many regulars not being able to get what they wanted. I may just sit back and watch it from a TV somewhere, to be honest its normally for me just an excuse to take the car down to le mans, go the the Great British welcome on the Friday morning and pop over to the hotel De France. I think there's a race on somewhere too?

I'm aware it's a very broad, but also very niche audience of race goers they're catering for - but yeah couldn't they have booked someone better - especially for the Friday slot.

Just comes down to cash I guess.

I don't think that's right. Is that last year's concert? It was certainly the Stranglers there last year as we walked past while they were playing ('Peaches', I seem to recall). It says 11th June - that is last year..... The venue isn't new - it was used last year. If you 'Click for details' he says then -

NO 2023 UPDATE YET CONCERTS OVER THE RACE WEEK

UNUSUAL CONCERT ON FRIDAY NIGHT after the Drivers' Parade



His dates are wrong. He says Saturday 11th June whereas its the 10th. He then says Sunday 14th June......

And according to the rules there are between 1 and 2000 winners, who should be able to buy two tickets. That's a reasonable amount considering they are sold out....

But doesn't that just mean they might only have 2 tickets?

Ya, 1-2000 is a pretty wide spread. Don't they know how many tickets they have? Seems a little strange.

No, I think it means that there is a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 2000, if, say, only 453 members enter the draw then they will all win and there will only be 453 winners.

Anyway, we'll get a slap soon for wandering off topic!

Indeed. I've moved the discussion as Vincent has posted the draw info here as well.

I did the same yesterday.

There's nothing on there. And there won't be until people put up unwanted tickets. If there's nothing on there I can't see it having much, if anything. It has of course been up for over two weeks and I think I've seen 2-3 week entry tickets and 3-4 Beausejour camping in that time.

Fun and games trying to sort a minor change on eurotunnel through agent. Thought all sorted a month or so ago! At least we’ve got rid of a Fiat Panda with a roof box that none of us had ever seen.

Anywhere good for breakfast 30 mins or so from tunnel heading in right way towards A16? Does the place in Arnage have a branch that way?

Best grab something at tunnel then once in france get as far as possible towards rouen, if you are avoiding the ring road due to the critical air problems then stop on the road to yevtot plenty of small villages and cafe's. We then usually stop once on the oild n138 for lunch, avoid the motorway down to le mans and there are lovely places to stop that are cheap and good plus the drive is better, no charges and about 50km shorter.

Thanks - happy with all the route options away from Calais - usually stop at a quiet little Super U supermarket (St Jamme de la Sarthe -(it's 2km off main road)) and cheap petrol to fill up after doing bit of D338 below Alencon which goes through Beaumont Sur Sarthe. It's a nice stop 20 mins or so before Waze roulette and hustle of Le Mans.

We have shuttle just after 8 for 2 cars but now have annoyingly a 30 wait for 3rd car which amazingly can't fit on its original space so rather than wait at the first Aire after the peage ticket booth/viaduct was hoping for somewhere a bit more relaxing and also it's a 6.30ish start from home and would be good to stop for breakfast. Shame about ferries recently on that front.

Do have a nice 1st Quality Air sticker for the little V8. Only place i'd be worried about at Rouen is the Esso station where we occasionally stop to fill up again on way back.

Breakfast all sorted now before Calais and a sensible Monday return time (semi flexible too) - phone booking 3 cars at a good rate on DFDS very helpful

as agent spaces on P&O all taken - so bye bye Eurotunnel who'd thrown one car on a 20.50pm Monday shuttle two hours or so after original booking time.
