Alright, how have some of you acquired camping tix this early.  I looked on the lemans.org page and their site only lists information for the 2005 event.  I have also read that thay do not take any ticket orders via the telephone.  

Is it a matter of writing an email and sending it over?

As always, any and all help is appreciated!

That sounds like one hell of an idea!!  It would be nice to have conversation about the logistic in person with some people.  I am looking forward to the Petit!!

I forgot to ask, is it possible to camp without a car.  It would make getting supplies a bit more difficult but I think we can overcome that issue.

also, without a car how secure would our belongings be inside of the tent throughout the weekend?

concerning leaving LeMans after the event is it a nightmare to leave (we would go pack to paris for a train trip down to Nice) via train or should we plan on leaving on Monday at somepoint?

Thanks again!

Matt, thanks for the insight.  The entire group that is going to LeMans will be at Road Atlanta for the Petit this year.  My parents only live 10 minutes from the track so we are all going to meet down there.  I'll stay in touch and perhaps we can meet up for food/and/or drink during that weekend.

Keep the good thoughts coming.

Is the ticket purchasing precedure as simple as calling the ACO office and ordering them?  I see talk of people going to through ticket brokers but is that a viable option from here in the states?

Myself and 4 of my friends are planning a trip to LeMans for 2006.  Though I have found quite a bit of helpful information I still have some questions that I have not found any answers for.  In no particular order here are the first set:

1- Getting to and from the circuit:  We are flying into Paris a few days before the event would it be better for us to rent a car or take a train to the city of LeMans?

2- Once at the circuit is there a shuttle that runs between the city center and the circuit for beer runs, food runs etc.?

3- Being LeMans rookies, we would like to try to see as much as possible, at the race.  We are seasoned at Daytona 24hr, the Sebring 12hrs and the Petit LeMan 12hrs but from my readings here and other places Lemans seems to be a different level of experience.  Based on this is there a concensus for camping/parking and ticket locations?  Are there any stadium style TV's that broadcast the event within the circuit?

4- Getting to and from different parts of the track during the race, how is it done?  I have read of the eateries along the Mulsanne and we would be interested in visiting those.

5- Do any of you seasoned LeMans goers want to take a few Americans under their wings and show us the ropes throughout the event?


This is probably the first of many questions I will as in preparing for this trip and I hope that the esteemed members of this board can help us out.

Thank you.
