Never seen a fresh food shop on site.

Thanks for that it is just what I thought. Need to stock up on wine and stuff since we can't take it through the tunnel anymore.

Just remember to hide any glass bottles really well and deeply in the car, if you camp within the ticket-perimeter. Glass bottles are a no-go at the track.

Eric swears by his plastic Canada Dry bottles!

Yes, found that out in 2019. I'm at Porsche curves, so outside the perimiter. I shall be prepared for bringing comestibles inside though

It is easy to get the tram to the carrefore if you do not want to drive, checks on bottles are sometimes there sometimes not. On arrival at tertre rouge with the car loaded up with stuff it is very easy to hide bottles but later on, not so easy, but to be honest after the first few days they seem not to check cars just those entering on foot.

It's the Moto GP at Le Mans this weekend and I have just stumbled across this - https://www.gpfrancemoto.com/en/virtual-visit - something I have never seen before and it makes the circuit looking stunning.....

That's pretty neat, thanks Rob. I wonder how long they'll keep that up for?

[Aysedasi]

Face value €267. Starting bid £380. Mind you, does include a 'fabled' Tertre Rouge camping ticket and the tickets were from 1st Tickets.....

There are a few other tickets starting to appear now....

[S griffin]

That's quite a lot of money to pay, although you're right it is quite good value for money. Shame though some decide to this with tickets

[GT6]

with 4 weeks to go i suspect ebay prices will be falling very soon.

Anyone fancy a walk around the circuit on Friday afternoon?

That sounds like fun, although how long does it take to walk the length of the circuit?

It's 8.5 miles long, so with inevitable stops for photo ops it will probably take around 4 hrs.

[GT6]

no pedestrian access at tertre rouge will certainly mess up a lot of people, but it will make it easier for those of us that camp at tertre rouge.

Appears that they are restricting access quite a bit in a similar way to last year
