Does anyone think..................................?

This whole ticket situation has been getting worse for the past four or five years. It is becoming perfectly obvious that,for whatever reason, the ACO doesn't want us there any more, or at least, they want us as far away from their new village as possible. This could partly be due to the increasingly larey behaviour from a lot of Brits, as we have discussed many times in the past. Couple this with the ever increasing incursions into the long established viewing areas and it becomes clear that they are giving preference to corperate parties. After 18 years I am seriously thinking of making this my last Le Mans and saying f**k the lot of them. The race has become more and more boring since Audi competed and I find that I am watching less and less each year. I think that a great weekend could be had at the Silverstone Classic if we all decided to say bollox to the ACO and go there instead. Yes it is Silverstone and yes the facilities are not the best but at least there will be no hassle getting tickets and there would be no need to pay bloodsucker agency prices.

Well, given the proximity of this place, I guess there is probably no chance it would be available, but I always wondered about the green field running down the inside of Houx, just by the tree surrounded Chateau.

Looking at google maps to find plots that may fit, as you do.

Saw this, I wonder who owns it, nice spot next to the house to camp!

Need to win the lottery

What about the field opposite the entrance to HA Sud and Houx.
I believe there is a Kart shop somewhere there.
Normally there is one caravan parked there for LM!

Decent location.

That sounds about where the new Pincenardiere campsite is.

Yes I think it is, right next to the house with the pond shaped like Silverstone

I think the field I surveyed with Gilles is in the middle of Bas's pic - to the left of the hosue with the pool - i.e. the new Pincadies or whatever it was. The The owners lived in the house opposite (or, at least, Gilles said they would be the ones who would lay on services)

All looks good but there are areas near the arnage flyover/bridge that for years have had 2 horses in them... all they do is gallop about and be scared by the engine noise of passing cars. They are very soggy looking though..
I will have a look when we are there on Saturday morning Pre Pre race.... Lots of locals have signs offering car parking or camping, as they do on the road between B and BN. leading to Arnage.. most have massive gardens/fields.
My French is ok but it would need someone a little better to discuss such matters...
