LM24 Le Mans 2014 - Who is Attending? - Page 9

as mentioned on other threads the showers in most campsites are getting better, but as with anything the more expensive the campsite usually the better the facilities and position of thet site.
The campsites around the porsche curves are a fair distance from the main area's and there is a shuttle train that runs up to the main straight but not to the tram stop. The Sites nearer to the tram stops are better situated but harder to get and more expensive, The best descriptions of each site can be found on Beermountain.com

I haven't stayed there myself, but this sounds pretty promising:

You can get from the Flexotels to Arnage pretty easily, just a few miles on the 'Chemin aux boeufs' on the innerpart of the circuit to reach the Porsche Curves, so that doesn't make a big difference.

Speaking of transport from the Porsche Curves to the tramstation, use your feet or go by car. The little tourist train's efficiency is abysmal so you're better off walking. Or go by car and get a park and ride ticket. If memory serves me right, it's about 3 euros. Check here:
www.setram.fr

Flexotels are closer to the tramstation, Porsche Curves are closer to Arnage. If you don't care where you stay, these are the deciders! Your choice

Anybody of the other 'Nadine-orderers' received an email today with only a French and a English booking form in it and nothing else?

GT6 · 24 Oct 2013, 14:20 (Ref:3322594)

Mine had all the usual stuff on it orders open for ACO members TR camping tickets are 82 for members and race tickets 54 so usual discounts did you want me to email a copy to you vince

GT6 · 24 Oct 2013, 14:27 (Ref:3322597)

Just had another email from Nadine to say she did not need form yet and she would contact me if/when she needed anything

Was/am getting worried I need to book again/fill in the form and send it back to her because somehow something went wrong. So I hope to receive a similar mail soon too!

there are no real arguments against this - make it more of a holiday.

GT6 · 26 Oct 2013, 17:07 (Ref:3323352)

It would be nice to get there and see scutineering but suspect it will be the usual down on Wednesday for me

**Aysedasi** · 26 Oct 2013, 19:22 (Ref:3323386)

Go on Simon - you know you want to!!!

Victor_RO · 26 Oct 2013, 19:23 (Ref:3323388)

I've just complicated my holiday, will be flying in for scrutineering and staying for the full week, then a couple of days in Paris, then a detour through Zurich in order to visit some very good friends who recently moved there... then home.

**Aysedasi** · 26 Oct 2013, 19:28 (Ref:3323392)

Sounds like a great holiday Victor. We'll look out for you in the Place........

Victor_RO · 26 Oct 2013, 19:31 (Ref:3323393)

If all goes well, I should be with a couple of friends. Depending on arrival time... maybe the luggage will have to tag along with us to the first scrutineering day.

GT6 · 28 Oct 2013, 17:42 (Ref:3324337)

Had an email from the ACO in french only, did a translation and it tells me they will be sending me a survey in the next few weeks for me to fill in, why did they not just save time and send me the survey, anyone else get the same email

vincegail · 28 Oct 2013, 19:21 (Ref:3324377)

Received something similar a few weeks ago, but deleted it immediately. It didn't leave much of an impression, so I am not 100% sure.

Definitely not received anything today.

GT6 · 29 Oct 2013, 09:35 (Ref:3324634)

got the survey this morning and completed it, did not take long

Foxy_Marshal · 29 Oct 2013, 11:33 (Ref:3324675)

Thanks for the advice and DMs I received.
we are now booked up for Travel destinations at porsche curves.
We are two single ladies doing a road trip from Scotland.
looking forward to it but will probably need advice closer to the time regarding getting to village etc for supplies.
we already have been given a planning packing list from a good friend to get us road ready for French regulations.
Tres Excited

Does the theme have to change every year? What's wrong with Cheese and Rocketfuel? Never change a winning team/theme!

foxy, we're two single ladies (cue beyonce) as well. get yourselves to the gathering on saturday, it's well worth it

lots of like minded, decent folks from all over the world. that's one heck of a drive though, fair play!

and yes, bring cheese. and cake. and perhaps some irn-bru to add to the collection of local potions on offer

ps don't fall for the breathalyser kit nonsense from the french driving rules

Hi Bella,
I love a good gathering :-)
We will be seven hours from where we live down to the tunnel then five hours to Le mans.
So Irn Bru, Haggis and shortbread then ?
A good friend of mine has given me his ultimate packing list for the car and ourselves.
count down has started :-)
