To add to the zoned camping and marked pitches on MB, another restriction seems to be in the offing. I found this on Beermountain. http://221test.co.uk/beerm/viewtopic.php?t=1167 |

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.

Yes, I plead guilty for 2005. We had a far too large area for the amount of tickets we had. In 2006 JPC, Delboy and us shared 30+ tickets between us. If they start acusing us of selling beer, then maybe they could have taken the trouble of investigating, instead of making a (wild) guesses and acusements. Can't wait 'till 2008, where tented people will start to complain about being appointed to the rock solid ground where team JPC was in 2005. I hope the ACO will have their drill hammer ready  By the way, we will take a truck for 2008 again, only to park it up at the lorry parking after tipping our stuff at MB. |

If you look at the arial photo taken last year of your campsite there is nowhere near 30 vehicles, so you were perfectly within your rights to use the amount of space you did. Sour grapes I think from those that don't get there early |

35 sq mtr per ticket, so we were entitle to 1050 sq mtrs, roughly an area of 38 by 32 yards. Sounds about right with what we had  |

Clear enough if you check this link --> http://221test.co.uk/beerm/search.php?search_author=DelboyDon't think 'our' Delboy is in need to ask for GA prices in 2006! And Rick, my guess is as long as you pay for the space, you'll be intitled to it  |

I guess we will just have to go to another race then every year, for the cost involved in the weekend, Sebring is a good alternative for me.
Or we can try to get our own CA campsite next to the track, it is worth a shot!

I think that set ups like DfH and JPC are alien to the French, and they're terminally confused.
With the formation of the "company sportive" they have a new vision and probably employed somebody with a diploma in leisure amenity management.
Most campsites do not like goups of people (especially all male) as they tend to be noisy and objectionable.
My guess would be that they want us louts in Beausejour out of the way, whilst a select few, like the owners clubs e.g. Porsche GB will be invited to the numbered pitches in the central campsites.
I think its time to tell the ACO what they don't know

Nail on the head, Lorry. The French don't do things like the rest of the proper English speaking world (and I include the Dutch and Germans here). They do not have a male bonding beer drinking culture like us. Nor do they have a sufficiently open mind to ask what their guests (AKA paying customers) may or may not want. Some people might say this is born of an inherant arrogance. But not me. I think they're just plain stupid. Why oh why do we in the rest of Europe have to put up with them?  |

The BM Delboy lives in Peckham. A coincedence? The Delboy that we Know and love lives (I believe) in Somerset. |

To me it smacks of profiteering on behalf of the company that now runs the campsites for LM week and any othe event they care to run.
Pack them in with minimal space for as much profit as humanly possible.
Sod the real enthusiasts who for the past 75 years have supported the race.
As has been said .Car clubs!!!!! = potential hospitality? and yes put the supposed great unwashed down on BSJ
Enough said!!!!!!!!
