Le mans 2010 June 12th

[BadDave]

Just had a look on the TL website and they only have tickets for BSJ and there own dedicated area left

BSJ is £60 for camping and there doing a GA ticket for £62(cheaper getting one when you arrive).

Are we intending to keep the same sort of timetable as we had last year re outward and homeward ferries??

Norfolkline currently has the crossings at £11 each way for a Thu/Mon crossings

[tomson]

This years timetable was good I thought...

[Jon_Bmw]

Yeah, although when is the England game again? I think it might be the 11th???

Might be able to get BSJ tickets direct off the ACO, I have been a bit lax about researching it this year.

[Ziggy]

It's on the 12th Jon Bit of a break from the race!

Same timetable as usual works for me... everyone happy with BSJ?

[Jon_Bmw]

Oh right, excellent, should be a good saturday night that then

Less driving, more drinking this year.

BSJ has worked for the last 3, so I am fine with that. Also Thursday and Monday crossings are all good with me too. I wonder if I will make the 16.00 one back again.hmm.

Prob not worth the hassle / cost of trying to sort something else then, although I was tempted after seeing Jon's setup on Houx.
Would be nice to try somewhere else some day though!

Anyone else gonna take a push bike this year?

Can't be bothered with even contemplating the 1600 return crossing - stocking up at the hypermarket is more important.

[tomson]

I'm sure there will be screens there to watch the football on right?

I'm a bit pi55ed off they've decided to stick the Silverstone GP on the day of the final, not that we will be involved in that game anyway!

I would have made that 1600 ferry if I hadn't followed Dave into Belgium!!!

Note to self - must get sat nav details for the return trip before we set off!

Never made it as far as the border
It was the bloody diversions round about the port that was the problem

That's my excuse anyway.

Anyone else taking a bike this year?

I may be bringing one along this year.

[Jon_Bmw]

Local knowledge lads.

And a bit of luck.

[tomson]

That's my excuse anyway.

[Ziggy]

Time to get booking...

[BadDave]

Time to get booking...

Was thinking the same thing Jon


TL for BSJ tickets again??

[Ziggy]

I don't know if that's the best place to get them, but fine with me if it is. Jon, you looked at other ways of buying through the ACO at one point didn't you? BSJ is ok with me - unless we can find tickets for elsewhere available online for notalot more money in which case a change might be nice?

[Jon_Bmw]

You can usually get them direct through the ACO for around a fiver less. I haven't been able to do a lot recently as I have just moved out to Nomansland, and as Jon will atest, it is pretty baron and lacking internets!

I'm all ears for a different site, but we all know what it is like, frigging ticket touts. If something comes up cheap, i'm game, but whilst I still have my student card, I am tempted to stay to a company who will provide just camping passes.

[Ziggy]

TL sounds like the safe bet then. Actually says "sorry sold out" here: http://www.teamlangoustine.com/_tl/prod ... mpsite.asp
...but not sold out on the home page & also that there are 60 still available Houx for example says sold out & hence won't let you order. I think it lies about BSJ and they are still on sale.

Jon, have you still got my sunnies btw?!

[Jon_Bmw]

BSJ won't be sold out yet, the 'internets' lies.

I'm keeping your sunnies for next year Still got them...somewhere

[BadDave]

Face value of last years BSJ ticket was 45eu and TL are looking for £60

ACO is bound to be cheaper,although there doesn't appear to be any facility to order camping passes on the site.
GA tickets are available online though.

I'm currently doing a little search to see where I/we can get camping passes a bit cheaper

[BadDave]

Looks as if quite a few companies are only selling them with GA tickets

I have found one who list BSJ at £55ea tho
We can get the GA tickets on the thursday night,like we did last year.

[tomson]

We can get the GA tickets on the thursday night,like we did last year.

Yay, we can all pretend to be students again for a 50% discount

[Ziggy]

I hope I don't 'forget' my student card again.

[danbear]

I'm going again this year. it'll be the first time i've driven though, just hope the touring makes it. is there a convoy of zoners going down?

[BadDave]

There are 4 or 5 of us heading down early on the thursday morning.

There may be more confirmed nearer to the date of departure

[JWaller360]

I've been the last 2 years, as part of a big uni trip, so I'll definately be up for it this year! there's about 20 of us going! We leave monday midnight, and get the following monday midnight ferry back

[Jon_Bmw]

You leave on Monday?

There is only so long I can stand in a tent!

[JWaller360]

The cheap beer helps, I'll be honest ;)

worst thing last year was my hayfever! hope they haven't cut the sodding grass in BSJ right befor ewe get there again this year

Who's up for an E30 meet in france then? We could be the Le-Mans regional section meet

[Ziggy]

Looking forward to seeing the E92s in GT2!

[danbear]

we left at 2am on the tuesday morning last year. Tbh it was to long in a tent, especially with the heavy rain for the first couple of days. Le Mans meet would be pretty cool

[tomson]

Any more thought on which campsite yet lads?

[Ziggy]

Just BSJ again I reckon. Bit late to try and sort anywhere else tbh!

[JWaller360]

We'll definately be in BSJ, as we're all poor students ;)

[BadDave]
