Nowadays they'll force you to buy two GE tickets allong with each campsite ticket. This is, in it self, no problem were it not that they also force one to purchase a GE ticket with each grandstand ticket...

It so ended up that our party would've to buy some 11 entrytickets we wouldn't need! After explaining our predicament to them,the ticketoffice blamed the ACO for implying those new "let's try to suck'm dry completely" rules and told us we'd be able to buy the wanted amount of campsite tickets for a €15,- premium per ticket without having to buy them two GE tickets... This totalled little over €200,- extra costs just to get what we needed!
Needless to say, we're not going down this road again. So, what would you guys advise me? Where to order tickets best? Ordering tickets in the UK would be a possibillity...
If you can order tickets in the UK then I'd recommend 1st Tickets, Just Tickets or, for their private camping package, Speed Chills.

Just Tickets also require you to buy two GE tickets for every pitch you buy, but I do not thin they apply this rule to grandstand tickets. I have used them for the past two years and they were very good to me! 1st Tickets seem to offer packages based on how many people are in your car, rather than how many pitches you need. Looks like they sell you the amount of GE tickets you need though (i.e. a "four in a car" package will include four GE tickets).

The most exciting video about resurfacing the track you will ever see. It's in French, but I think the point comes across.

I suggest you either go direct to the ACO or to Nadine at the tourist office, you only pay ticket price and postage, if you want a particular campsite there may be a problem but wait and see. Nadine tells me they will know what tickets they have in early December

Just back from a business trip to Solesmes, not a million miles from Le Mans, and did the obligatory drive around as much of the track as possible this morning.

Great to be able to do it without crowds around and be able to focus on what the track is all about - and having a nice specced up Alfa Romeo Giuletta courtesy of Avis didn't hurt either. I've often held that deserted race track can be a morose place, but I might have to revise that opinion.

Can't wait to be back in June.

I seem to be spending the time in between races bidding for LM annuals. I remember asking about them on here when I joined 14 months ago.

Just bought my 15th book! Picked up a '95 for £60 including postage. Quite happy with that but was in the mix for a '97 which went for £107!! Is that about right?

Anyway shouldn't be too long until the 2011 edition. Hoping for same quality but with less mistakes.

I've only ever bought one - 2003, which I picked up for less than a fiver brand new. I've avoided trying to buy any more as, much as I'd love t have them, I can't afford to start collecting them!

A few rumours on twitter courtesy of GG about the possibility of Aston DBR9 GT1's competing in the Aston Festival. Would be great. Either way it should be a good addition to the race.

2011 yearbook looks to be up to the same standard as previous years. Same layout as the 2010 book so nice and colourful.

Not started reading it yet but it will be interesting to see if they have worked on eradicating all the frustrating little errors. The fact that in the hourly race positions page the AF Corse 458 is highlighted as GTE-Pro winner doesn't exactly reassure me.
