Mr911er Posted October 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Or are they organising a trip at all, now the wonderful Angie has retired? Usually we get some notification... The tickets are on sale now on the ACO site - onsite camping is available at Beausejour and Epinettres; its sold out at Maison Blanche already.. Neither are a patch on TR..(no pun intended lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Twitchen Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 My last conversation with Angie was that the club as waiting for the organisers to publish prices so that booking details could be promulgated. Over many years experience I booked the ferry (Portsmouth-Caen) as soon as the timetable was promulgated a couple of months ago. Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I booked hotels for Stafford thinking there was going to be high demand, and the week we were due to depart I could have booked them at the last minute for £60 less. The ferry was also £25 cheaper, but limited space. These days with fuel prices going up or down all the time it's just a gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Twitchen Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Colin, As you say it's a gamble, like much of life, but based on the past 16 or so years of attending Le Classic and comments on this Forum people have a habit of leaving the booking late and finding there are no slots available on their chosen ('assumed') route/date/time.

JohnD Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Of the seven circuits that have held French Grands Prix, five are still running. The other two were proper road-racing circuits the like of which we never had in the UK. Until recently, UK law forbade racing on public roads, but got Brooklands, Goodwood and all the airfield circuits as well. Those two old road circuits are Rouen-Les Essarts and Reims-Gueux, both convenient for a visit to or from Le Mans. Rouen is a shadow of its former glory, but Gueux is magnificently preserved, by Les Amis du Circuit de Gueux. The old pits, proper opera 'boxes', hence the pit command to box for a pitstop, the grandstands, the circuit admin buildings and even the pylon that used to keep the spectators informed. The old circuit is mostly still intact, so you can drive it, and feel all the ghosts, from Fangio to Hawthorne who drove there. Really worth a visit, but take care! After so many idiots drove stupidly on the old circuit that M.le Maire de Gueux has told the Police to clamp down. Even parking outside the pits can get you a ticket. Hope that Les Amis will be there, and will let you into the old paddock to park you car and enjoy an extraordinary relic of the Golden Age of Motorsport!

Mr911er Posted November 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 I did phone Head Office regarding plans...and they are well in hand. Angie is still involved apparently, so its business as usual re. LeMans it seems...😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mjit Posted December 5, 2022 Report Share Posted December 5, 2022 Let's just hope the ACO don't make as much of a balls-up of the 2023 Classic as they have done with the 2023 24hrs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevDavies Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 Is it going to be the same campsite as previous years, overlooking Tertre Rouge? I do hope so. I know that all the First Tickets private site allocation and public allocation is filling fast as it's 100th anniversary etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Twitchen Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Same as Clive and all booked up, spoke to Lisa on 20 Dec and paid. EMail does rather assume that 'Kev' is a member of the TSSC and not just a Forum member? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Goose Posted January 28, 2023 Report Share Posted January 28, 2023 Hi, as a newbie to the forum and to the Le Mans Classic, I wondered whether there was a 'preferred' route that TSSC members take to get there? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
