At least give the camping option a try once is my advice. See if you like it and then just evolve your trip each time you go.

It's not lacking in character or indecisive, but another sort of character and another decision.
Thank you!

It's all down to choices. My decision each year to stay up all night I hope demonstrates that my approach to Le Mans isn't entirely 'namby-pamby'..... Personally I consider the phrase most apt for anyone who sleeps during the race at night......

Only managed that the first and second years, and again a couple of years ago with an hours shuteye in the car. Different strokes for different folks, but so long as I see a good chunk of night racing (especially at Arnage and/or Mulsanne). So long as I can get Radio Le Mans promptly in the morning to catch up I'm quite happy to head back to our campsite have a few hours sleep and a nice breakfast and then head back in

Being the one of only three left on the forest Esses banking with the rain coming down and no water proof clothing? Howzat?

This is a good game, everyone trying to out-man each other. Should pass a bit of time....

I supposedly drank a few 'dutch courages' and some 'canady dry' (which was dutch rocket fuel in disguise ) and a few pinot a charentes etc.
After that, it went all downhill!

Must stay up all Night because it is to cold/wet to sleeping in a tent.

This year was good to us that just must sleep in a tent
