Club Arnage

Right im not missing next year no matter what happens so few questions for you fantastic folk!

1. Roughly how big is the camping pitches as 3 friends might be coming with me now and we are trying to sort tents / tent access etc

2. Where can i get on the list to pre book a camping pass and what site would you guys recommend ;)

Im not watching it on telly again, I really missed it this year and 2013 I shall be back

Kev

Kev,

1. Each official ACO pitch is 7m x 5m.  You might squeeze 4 of you on 1 pitch, but it'll be tight.  Better assume 2 IMHO.

2. Try 1st Tickets, they open a list early.  Also try any of the other agencies, but they won't be the cheapest option

Don't forget to book early on the ferry/tunnel as the sooner you book/pay the cheaper.

Suspect the race will be 15th/16th of June 2013

Paul aka Landman

Thanks Paul, Tunnel / Ferry Ill be booking ASAP as i know the dates roughly.

As for camping tickets your right as one of my tents are Width: 315 cm, Length: 465 cm, Height: 200 cm so that would fill it – smaller tent needed i think!

keV, try also speed chills. We booked with them last year on Maison Blanche and they were first class. They have a private camping area infield at Tetre Rouge as well.

and if you're planning on camping in Club C'arnage, then the man you need to sweet talk is Rusty. 

I hear The Gimp is already getting ready to finish you off......

And Gimp v.1 now has Gimp v.2 to help him. >:D

emailed them and they are getting back to me in August when they start allocating ;)


Oh the joys!

I don't think theres a restriction on the height of the tent.

Nick.....You know what - you might be on to something there...... 

I suggest that Camp C'Arnage, goes VERTICAL next year.  With the right planning, we could easily only require half the tickets..........

more worried about area than height. As for height, do what they do at N24 build mad structures

Or Sebring....  See below for just a taster :)

I'm not missing it next year, hopefully I will be attending with Landman.

Great link Brad. The first picture that I opened up and there I am lurking in the back ground of the picture. LOL

wow looks amazing. And don't forget 'diet coke is just $2.50.'

Hold on - there aren't any racing cars in this either - it just gets better and better........................................

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

oh no - the racing cars are there, but they're so close, that the standard zoom lens on the camera just cropped too much of the car to be useable..... you have to have a wide angle lens to get any kind of photo.

and the diet coke example was exactly that - an example....  I could have used anything from the $20 event t-shirts, to the $7 dollar cocktails at the Tequila Patron tent.....

As for your sarcasm - if you've not been, I wouldn't expect you to understand - there are plenty who will.

I have been lucky enough to have been able to go to Sebring, Road Atlanta and Laguna Seca and will agree with Brad that trackview is fantastic.
they do have fencing but far less then for example Spa-Nurburgring have so watching cars is more real

Brad, you need to go to Petit Le Mans (Road Atlanta) , it is mini-spa without the fencing (sadly it is not part of the WEC anymore so not as attractive to go there anymore, hopefully this changes next year).

12 hours Brad - it only lasts 12 hours.......................just getting started and woops its all over...............


 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I know that feeling!   ::)

Quality over quantity my friend....

.....this is something my wife knows alot about too....

Reel casting time again.

Brad and Monkey, I loved Sebring but heck, it ain't perfect.  The bogs were apalling.  By midnight and still by 8 on Sunday  morning, they were literally that - bogs - knee deep in loo paper and less pleasant sh*.  At LM even at 3 in the morning there were guys about cleaning them.  And there were loads of showers compared to just the 2 in the ladies out at Turn 10.
Yes, the food and booze at LM are pricey but they're there, for 40 hours or so without a break, all around the circuit, even out in the boonies.  At Sebring they are all on the one main drag and if you're far away (eg at Turn 10) then so's even the most basic cup of coffee. 
You can reserve a place in the stands.  Some newbies who went to Sebring this year who got stand tickets (something we didn't bother with on advice from the Turn 10-ites) said it was a free for all and all on one level so if you got there late they were worse than useless.  A beggar for anybody like me and my friend who cannot stand up for very long.
You may hate Bruno but at least there is a commentary, and tannoys all around the circuit.  Not to mention big screens even out at Mulanne and Arnage.  At Sebring only the leader lights (introduced comparatively recently thanks to a member of the public, not the organisers let you know who's running where if you don't have a radio.
The race isn't long enough.  Sorry chaps.  It may be just as hard on the cars as 24 hours but it's far too easy on the fans!

Sebring has a lot going for it but it is far from perfect.  I have loads of gripes about the ACO - not least their crappy booking system - but there are still things which the do really well and for £40-odd for 24 hours racing plus loads more quali time on top, it's still great value, imho.
