me and stu are leaving dover at 4am on the 13th of june and will wait at calais for the rest to come over then convoy to lemans. we are coming back on the 20th of june at 8pm. has cost us £50.50 return trip which seems to be alot cheaper than the dover to calais prices.
,,but had no reply,,,how else could i contact him Its taken as along a 2-3 weeks for me to get a reply from Domonique at the Chateau. Give it another 2 weeks, its still early days. The people at the Chateau are really good and normally on the button, I think email and the internet isn't that big in France and certainly in and around the Loire valley and I don't think thay check it every day or week like us brits do. I think they will cost around 80 pounds for the 2 days, in my experience definately worth it, what do you think.,,,grandstand it is then?? Could be done for next to nothing if we stay for a couple of nights and bring our own food and beers; food=home made sarnies and drink = bargain booze £10 a crate. Exellent!! 
You can keep updated with the tariffs on the Chateau du Chanteloup website. If its as hot as last year I wouldn't consider eating sarnies made up days earlier. Theres a supermarket going in towards Le Mans called Leclerc, cant miss it, and right next door is a McDonalds if you didn't want to actually make food. Once in the circuit theres plenty of catering. Looking at the list of interest there are a good mixture of IMOC and MK1 Club members making the pilgrimage to the famous circuit. You must let him know that you are camping with 'Sheavills Toyota MR2 MK1 Club'', that will ensure that we are all together and not scattered around the site which is huge..... We stood on the start and finish straight for the start of the race as its a wonderful sight but really it was that hot ( 96 degrees ) it made life a little uncomfortable. I've had a look at the plan and grandstand number 15 which is called Chinetti looks to be the best one.- Chinetti are £133 each and does include your entry ticket to the circuit which is normally £45. Having been there for the past 5 years standing shoulder to shoulder to get a good view of the start and finish of the race I feel this would be a minor investment and money well spent.PRICE LIST (updated 25.10.2005) Code Prices (£) LG 55 (Mulsanne & Arnage) LV 37 - 4th June 2006 - (Free of charge on request- when booking main race with us) LQ 25 (See note j) 31 LR 420 35 IMF 582 -bys - (see note d) - Le Houx - only numbered site. 24 LH 78 (Ex Place16) 27 LCH 53 25 LM 82 31 LX 56 32 LBSC 53 39 LTP 53 - (see notes f & g) - - - - red enclosure 37 LA 66 - red enclosure 10 LRMP 41 (red ) 10 LPR 33 (white) 4 LPW 33 (for cars only) 6 LZ 34 (blue) 8 LBP 28 (red) 7 LRP 28 (Antares) 9 LAP 28 (Antares) 9 LAMP 41 Covered Grandstands -Price includes a general enclosure ticket 1 LT01 124 (Ex Tribune.1) 5 LT05 129 (ExT.2) 11 LT11 124 (Ex T.2) 12 LT12 124 (Ex T.4) 14 LT14 133 Chinetti (Ex T.4) 15 LT15 133 (Ex T.4) 16 LT16 133 (Ex T.5) 17 LT17 158 (Ex T.5) 18 LT18 158 (Ex T6 Michelin) 19 LT19 141 (Ex T7 Mobil) 20 LT20 141 (Ex T8 Audi) 21 LT21 141 (Ex T9) (Uncovered Grandstand) 22 LT22 109 (Ex T10) 23 LT23 141 (Pits) (Ex T12) 34 LT34 111 - For full details look at hospitality Le Mans 24Hour access at the top of this page. - Sat & Sun 17th/18th June 2006 582 - Sat & Sun 17th/18th June 2006 519 - Sun 18th June 2006 119 & Arnage Corners - Sat 17th June 2006 - 25 & Arnage Corners - Sun 18th June 2006 25 I was just about to ring Just Tickets to book them. How much do you want for 2 of the tickets and can you confirm they are seated both together. I can PayPal you if thats ok, let me know. This year the organisers ( ACO ) are predicting the biggest turn out ever @ Le Mans. I must admit I've been for the past 5 years now and it does seem to get busier and busiers each year. ( Number 15 ) Its right in front of the start and finish line and right in front of the pit lane where you get just as spectacular action as on track. Literally right opposite the Chinetti stand there is a huge TV screen which broadcasts the race non shop so you don't miss any of the action. The main advantage to grandstand seats is that you have your own space over the 2 days and believe me when its hot in mid france in June, its bloody hot..!!!!!£133 per seat but does include your curcuit entry ticket for all practise, qualifying and the race itself ( compare that to the British GP @ Silverstone for value ) This is a 5 day pass that includes a pit walkabout on the Friday.( Bleu ). I'm told by my sources that the parking is already starting to fill up fast with unreserved bookings so I'm taking NO chances and have also booked my parking pass in the Blue carpark which is only 5 minutes walk from the main entrance and roughly 15 minutes walk from the Chinetti Grandstand.& Motering Ltd.(0)1304 228866 / Fax No: 0044 (0)1304 242550 Confirmation of my order has been receiveed in the post. I must say in the past 5 years although its been very busy I've had no problem at all buying a car parking pass. Last year I had already decided that this year seats in a covered grandstand was definately the way forward.,,but i cant make head nor tail of the site.. Here you have information on tickets for all the different spectator enclosures including grandstands, covered grandstands, pit walks, hospitality, parking.( Chinetti )
