Yes, we'll be on Maison Blanche as usual.

We'll be arriving either Sunday or Monday (depending on when they're going to open the campsites)

Can't wait

I was on a bike holiday and was staying overnight in a hotel at Le Mans. While having dinner we got talking to some Brits who were there with a car to race. They were part of the team run by Noel Edmonds and had a huge V8 pushrod engine putting out, in their impressed words, well over 100bhp per litre.

We took them downstairs to look over the bikes we were riding and pointed out that the Honda blackbird was 1100cc and 150bhp = 136bhp per litre. Gobsmacked was the word

I wonder what they'd make of my current 1340 putting out 260hp in road trim and 500+ on race fuel Laughing


What I was most impressed with on another occasion was riding along the Mulsanne straight and coming up to a point where the 'track' changes direction all of a sudden and the rubber trails made by cars turning right at 90deg in the space of a mini roundabout - the g force must be amazing.

Then on another trip back that way were onboard the Le Havre to Portsmouth ferry talking to a chap who had been to the races spectating. He and a few companions were all waved past and then subsequently stopped by a plain clothes cop car for speeding - he reckoned the entrapment was to enable the copper to boast about stopping 3 F40s and a F50 Ferrari in one go! 750 euro fine for each and another 750 fine for onboard radar detection equipment.

Well the easy bit, the race is 11/12 th June.

Best thing to do is look at The Beermountain Web Site and I'm sure that will answer most of your questions.

Anything else, just shout

Houx Annexe is an extension to Houx camping area. It is one of few camping areas that has electric ( long leads are required) The advantage of a un numbered pitch is that you are shown to the next area available, In my opion yhe last day to arrive is Thurs . The numbered pitches have to be taken & can often have a tree in the middle of the pitch ok if you are in a tent , bit of a problem in a motorhome, Most camping areas have showers toilet water, be prepared to queue for showers/toilets. The most important thing is as fred pontin said ' book early' like in the next couple of weeks at the latest, We booked and paid in Nov of last year.

Thanks Lucy2--have studied the suggested web site-- but as our M/H is 8 metre,will this limit the campsite choice?
It is not clear on the info as to the size of vehicle.

If you go for Houx un numbered length is no problem techinally as you are just shown in to a grassed area & shown where to park. In theory you have an allocated area to park in , last year 2010 we had a bunch of lads from denmark with a big 6 wheeler Burstner + catering tent + big merc car. They we brilliant no problems plenty of beer + food good music, hope to be next to them thiis year, but remember you must book very soon. Try www.tickets-2-u.com

With a camping pitch inside the circuit you have to buy entry tickets in advance.

we paid Houx non numbered £ 89.00 pitch

2 x general entry £130.00

postage of tickets about £ 5.00

but remember book soon, and arrive early as you can Thurs latest, all roads are crazy on mad friday ( no racing) all race cars go to Le Mans for viewing
