Had contact with Vincent Flandin from Porsche Club France, the pack detail for booking entry tickets and access to dedicated Porsche Parking infield will not be available untill mid February. If you book through other organisations will not be able to get into the dedicated area.
May not be of interest to those camping on site but those staying outside in hotels etc the parking is superb.
Will post when i get details
Great news! Looking forward to hearing when you know more... :D

John
Was hoping to be a bit quicker than 50mph :D provided traffic is in our favour. We'll have to swop mobile numbers nearer time. We will be ahead of you by around 30 minutes but perhaps we could look out for a decent "pull in" around Abbeville where we could stop for coffee & a croissant and let you catch us up.

Then carry on together 8)

I've just been introduced to TIPEC by a member I met at Oulton Park on Saturday (Nick). He mentioned that there was a contingent going to the Classic this July.

I've booked with Travel Destinations and we will be going over on the 7.00 a.m. Eurotunnel on the 11th so it would be great to join the convoy for a 'steady' drive to Le Mans. Will you be travelling on the Autoroutes or N roads? I'm also a member of PCGB and I've registered my interest in the infield parking provided courtesy of Porsche Club France but apparently, as of Saturday 15th March, there is still no information available about this. Travel Destinations have confirmed our entrance tickets, paddock passes and grandstand seats but of course we are not eligible for on-circuit parking as we are camping off-circuit at Chateau L'Eporce.

See you there.

Hi

Of course you will be welcome to join us to drive down to Le Mans. Be good to have you along with us. Just watch this thread as we'll fix a route etc nearer time.

If you were a Tipec member you could have camped at Tetra Rouge corner with us :D
