Hi, Im Chairman Docwra, you might remember from events such as Le Mans 2010, Le Mans 2011 and Le Mans 2012
Ive just got off the phone to our good friends at Tickets 2 U and have some interesting and unanticipated news regarding LM 2013 that could affect the whole shebag for us ..............
THERE WONT BE A KARTING NORD CAMPSITE!!!
Apparently Johnny Frog has decided to build another Kart circuit, so when we go down there its going to be dug up and shit. Plus side is that we might be able to steal some heavy plant and rampage around the area in it, downside is we lose my Le Mans home for the last 8 years, and the only campsite (with the exception of the Porsche Curves) where you have trackside access without having to walk for miles.
The nice lady at T2U said that the next best bets were Houx Annexe, which is numbered pitches and noisy and full on, and the Houx which is not numbered and rather more gentile. Tetre Rouge is the closest track access for either of these and isnt too far, but its not KN
Other options include Beausejour and Maison Blanche but I personally think they are too big and a bit far away from the action, and Tetre Rouge which sounds a bit better - that said Ive not stayed on any.
Prices are up too, its £75 per person entry and £115 per car .............. which brings up the other possibility.
Nurburgring 24h is a couple of weeks after, is £65 entry and £95 per car and has about 10 times as many cars running as LM does. Its been tabled before, but should we go for it this time round??
So, questions are - LM or Nur, numbered pitches or a free for all, and Tetre Rouge/Houx Annexe or somewhere else??
