Could well be. For a variety of reasons which I won't go into here (not yet anyway).

It's possible that I'll be looking for a few pointers from you experienced Le Mans campers (Jeez - did I really say that.......

).

Justin Moran · 6 Jul 2009, 21:46 (Ref:2496893)

Cant wait for the reports on that one!!!!^^^^^^^

Now I've said it before but I wont be at the 24Hr but will be at the Classic so yes I WILL be in LeMans in 2010! (sort of)

Hursty · 7 Jul 2009, 19:13 (Ref:2497444)

Thought I'd add this to the most relevant/read post on the 24 forum. On the main Sportscars and GT page, have a look in the following thread.
Post the coolest sportscar/GT video you have come across
There is some amazing Le Mans footage esp first post. Great to see some of the track and noise pre my 2005 first trip!

Number7 · 14 Jul 2009, 17:20 (Ref:2501706)

I got an e-mail from the Le Mans ticket office yesterday. Booking of tickets will be open from 1st of october!

The last two years we have been at Lagache with a great view down the Ford chikane and further down. However we are considering mooving to Sommer to see the other end of the pit lane and get a better view to the giant screen. Does anyone know how the view down to the Ford chikane is from Sommer? Does the Durand and/or ACO grandstand block your view?

SL · 27 Jul 2009, 02:01 (Ref:2508811)

Expect I will be there yet again. Scary that it will be the 30th visit to La Sarthe as well.

Tempted with going to the classic though or maybe even Spa for a change. Never know may do all 3 (can anyone lend me some cash!...please)

Enjoyed Houx this year so will probably try for that again, cost a bit more but was worth it as no genny's chugging away all night.

**Aysedasi** · 14 Aug 2009, 09:35 (Ref:2521248)

I'm now pretty definite on doing Le Mans differently in 2010. I'm looking to go over earlier in the week, hopefully to be there by Wednesday. Beyond that, I've made no plans.....

Jennifer_ni · 1 Sep 2009, 12:11 (Ref:2532435)

I will deffinatly be going in 2010, 2009 was my first year going as a spectator rather than a marshal and it was alot more enjoyable! This year i plan to hire a campervan as the boot of our peugot 207 hire car wasnt very comfortable this year! Can anyone tell me if there is electric plug in points or running water on the campsites?

Yes - but only on some of them - sorry can't be more help than that.
I would guess that if you don't get a numbered pithc you would have to get there pretty early in the week.

Houx has all the required conections but it is hard to get tickets, most of the others have some form of water, ie standpipes. Many of the campsites have a few electric conections which become more and more overloaded as the race gets closer.

Generators are a good option, or don't bother with electric power, you are camping after all.

Le Vieux · 9 Sep 2009, 07:03 (Ref:2536881)

Only 276 days till I leave!

Doctor Houx · 15 Sep 2009, 21:11 (Ref:2541532)

We'll be there, representing the Hawaiian Alcoholic team.

Already booked up and can't wait.

Camping in Houx Campsite as usual. 14th year for us.

Hoping to arrange a "Houx Barracks" set-up with all the beermountain brigade, so we can celebrate together in style.

Any other beermountaineers on here?

**Dani Filth** · 16 Sep 2009, 19:53 (Ref:2542350)

where did you book camping ? .. has the ACO released the ticket pricing ?

DCC · 16 Sep 2009, 20:18 (Ref:2542373)

Guys... Reading all these stuff makes me jelaous. How much would I like to go and see the race live. This my year thesis work prevented me from La Sarthe and it looks like next year I'll be doing my military service. So no Le Mans for me until (at least) 2011...

People living in Britain or France, you don't know how lucky you are...

**Dani Filth** · 17 Sep 2009, 08:24 (Ref:2542655)

man .. LeMans is worth deserting

nobster · 17 Sep 2009, 10:49 (Ref:2542711)

Ticket office should be open from 1 st of october next month for bookings for next years race.

Doctor Houx · 18 Sep 2009, 13:20 (Ref:2543386)

I booked in advance - made a reservation via just tickets. We also use 1st tickets sometimes, however both of their allocations were spoken for before the beginning of July. You can join their waiting lists now in case of a cancellation.

We've found it's best to book early or you pay loads on ebay!

Tons of tips and advice on beermountain if you're interested in camping at le mans.

All agencies are selling campsites etc but as always things change, beermountain advice on campsites is not all that good and is well out of date, suspect who ever rights the reviews wants to keep people away from there own first choices. Several key beermountain groups alway use the same capsite as we do but thier website is very uncomplimentary about it.

This year camping tickets on E bay reached a peak in April but by June prices for the less popular campsites were not selling and even the most popular MB HA and TR campsites were well below previous years prices. Not sure what changes will be announced this year but there will be some. As most campsites are now allocated pitches you will need to book full requirement in one go but at least you np longer have to arrive monday morning to ensure a good spot.

Very much appreciated this year - a decent sized pitch in a semi-decent location and all together.

I got that message too. Wonder if booking procedures will be changed completely? Or will it be same procedure just delayed a few months? Would be nice with a complete on-line booking system, where you pick your seats yourself ....

Marcel ten Caat · 30 Sep 2009, 12:19 (Ref:2551168)

Still only seeing questions regarding the exact date of the race...

The ACO has confirmed the 24 Hours of Le Mans will take place on June 12-13, 2010.

Jennifer_ni · 30 Sep 2009, 12:30 (Ref:2551175)

I got my booking form already, the tourist office they said they didnt know dates as of yet but i could pre book on last years form if iwanted to!

Marcel ten Caat · 30 Sep 2009, 13:48 (Ref:2551228)

I think Daniel Poissenot can be trusted as a reliable source for these dates

Mind you that Le Mans will now be on the opening weekend of World Cup 2010, a week later would put it right in the middle with football matches on tv every day during LM week.

Le Vieux · 30 Sep 2009, 19:04 (Ref:2551461)

See post no.45
