Looks to be next to that Epinettes which is over the road from Houx.

Not what you’d expect a regular looking Audi A4 to be towing.

Such a special place.

Didn’t take many photos to be honest. Few videos of the pit straight on the rain.

Tan the track Friday which was cool - changes it up a bit. I think we will go Wednesday next year because of the way they’ve sucked about with Quali / hyperpole etc we usually don’t see cars until Saturday!

That’s alright mate, I spent most of the time at the campsite, wondering what the f**k I’m doing hungover in a field 😂

I was at Epinettes. Behind us was the velodrome one and Prairie was behind that

I was lucky to go with seasoned Le Man Vets. Pretty sure the route and timings they used sorted us out because we had zero traffic, and didn’t arrive feeling knackered either way.

Tuesday we left. Had dinner in Portsmouth (1:30hr from me). Got the 11pm sleeper ferry to Caen. Woke up the next day, 2 hrs to Le Mans. Arrive Wednesday morning. Our pick of the pitches in Epinettes despite a few people already being there.

Didn’t leave until Monday lunchtime-ish. Stopped at a small town on route for a beer (Orbec), went the scenic route to Honfleur that evening which was quite a nice little port town, decent restaurants and such. Then left first thing for the ferry. Home by 3:30pm Tuesday. Bosh.

This was our 13th year 🤣 and we’re still tinkering with our set up!

We’ve always gone down Thursday morning and apart from the early years, never queued to get into Houx (booked pitches so no real worry trying to get space!) But then night quali used to be thrusday at 10/11pm so we’d set up, have a beer and go and watch it.

Usually the trip home is a day of travelling but door to door (I’m in Nottingham, the rest are Farnborough) is around 8hrs. Calais being a s**t show this year made it 15 🫠. We always go to Mulsanne Monday morning for breakfast at a cafe there and fuel etc. sod sending it home at 4pm after the race - the queue in houx to exit didn’t move for about 2hrs!!

Yeah we saw / heard about the queues post race. So many people moaning they had booked crossings that evening and were going to miss them. What did they expect?! Ever tried leaving silverstone after the Grand Prix
