Title: Le Mans 2005 dates
Post by: johnevans3 on August 24, 2004, 07:31:54 pm
I inquired at ACO about the 24 Hours of Le Mans for 2005 and this is their reply.  Time to start planning guys.  Lock those dates in, book the airline ticket, figure out what to do with all that luggage.  No train station lockers, again? ??? ??? ???

Good afternoon,
The provisional dates for next year are : 11th and 12th June 2005
For any information about tickets and reservations : ticket@lemans.org
Best regards,

Will any of the ferry companies take bookings yet ?
I tried Hoverspeed, but they don't have any prices until early Nov.

My source at P&O says to me October for bookings.

I will post up when they are on.

I book with Briittany Ferries and they have a reserve list. I have already rec'd my letter from them confirming my requirements. In Octboer they then get back to me with the details and prices, etc but at least you are high up the list.

Cheers,

Tony

I managed to get £100 discount last year by being a member of the AA, so it may be worth asking when the bookings open.

You must have been paying top whack initially for the ticket.
