2010 DATES

[Robspot]

Mark, and the Melans, are you going wednesday to monday and via the same crossings as normal?

[chop456]

Well, I booked my airfare anticipating the 12th-13th race date.  This ought to ensure that it's the following weekend, so I recommend making your bookings based on that. 

Where have you booked to fly to??

CDG.  Planning on doing the TGV to Le Mans unless a spectacular car hire deal shows up.

I'd prefer doing a longer LHR or AMS trip, but my company got bought out recently and the word on the street is that I'll be losing 2 weeks of vacation next year.

I ended up using Brittany to Caen this year because I got a good deal at the last minute and it was a much nicer boat and a much shorter drive so may consider that again, but if they are doing their normal Pirate pricing for advanced bookings then we'll be doing LD again.

Still Wed to Mon though?

Hi Chop I did that this year. it works very well. If on Houx camp site even easy to take the tram to the track.

Indeed. What are you up to next year. Big group again?

[Robspot]

Not sure yet. I quite fancy the idea of just driving down in a car with a tent on board instead of taking the van packed to the rafters with ebay goodies.

I said it last year, and I will say it again this year. The best time to book flights to Orlando for Sebring is in November when BA and Virgin have their sales. It has been like this for the last four years.

Normally sub £300 from Gatwick.

Pay attention at the back...

How does 400 euro's roundtrip from Amsterdam sound?

I just had a call from one of the well known ticket agencies confirming their pricing for next year, they were obviously hit hard with the swing in the £/Euro rate as there is a significant increase in price

Camping permit Masion Blanche - £110 up from £96.

General admission tickets - £70 up from £68

Grandstand seat Sommer £180 up from £162.

As I had booked and paid for the tickets for this year back in October 08, price were even cheaper.

They have already sold their MB allocation based on the previous years customer list, and have a waiting list for anybody wanting to camp in MB. However they have indicated that a number of the regular customers will not pay the price for MB, so the waiting list is taking up the released permits.

Looking at the ACO price list of 65 Euro against todays rate,  the £ price is £60.

Time to decide what to do
