I'm going as usual! Staying on Houx again.

We've actually got a spare seat going from Bucks if anyone is interested. Group of 27 with 13 cars, ages 25 to 65! £117 for the ticket, camping, tunnel. Based on 2 in a car. It's usually £177 but someone paid their deposit then dropped out.

U2u me if interested.

Cheers, Chris

I hope that's not £350 each!! The trip I organise for our crew was £177 per person this year based on two sharing a car and going on the tunnel.

Hopefully doing the Classic this year with Matt_GSXR and my brother. Not got organised yet, so don't know any plans. Where are you staying ?

( done the 24hours many times, but fancied a change )

havent booked in yet, have stayed at beasjour a few times, but some of it will depend on what cars we take and whether we have bikes. from last night we have a GTM Spyder, a cobra and a v8 locost. none of which have much space for bike carrying!

we did wonder about trying to stay at tetre rouge again (havent stayed there since the fair was next door) and using trams to get into town, and walking around bits of the track.

big problem with that is that its a long walk to and it would be a shame to miss that.

I'm sure there's a fair bit to be made in Le Mans transport services. Ie driving a Luton down and hiring out space in the back. We're lucky enough to have a group member who has a VW transporter van and drives that down, otherwise the 2-seater drivers would be stuffed!
