HI,
Ok, rough plans of the annual JPSC Le Mans trip:-
Travelling down from Yorkshire on Wednesday, I have 2 ferry options, but can of course support any crossing you like.
Preferred option is Newhaven-Dieppe: Leaving Newhaven about half 11 weds night, arriving Dieppe about 4 then driving through the countryside arriving at camp about lunchtime. Thsi ferry crossing has become expensive since DFDS took it over a few years and they havn't released prices for June 2018 yet. So, the last few years some of us gone option 2:-
Dover-Calais leaving dover about 3 or 4. Arriving in Calais then a 90 minute blast down to Nuefchatel for dinner and overnight camp, then up earlyish for the countryside drive to camp, arriving mid afternoon..after a nice lunch en-route.
Campsite: We camp at Spay campsite, which is a municipal campsite about 5 minutes from Arnage village, we have stayed here for many years and it is quiet and very popular now. We camp with a large dutch contingent who really do look after us.
Head to circuit for final qualifying
Friday/Sat/Sun is usual stuff!
Head back to port on Monday and home!
Costs including Ferry/Camping/Car Parks/Race ticket (Gen. Entrance) is usualy between 3-350 per car based on 2 per car. Obviously final costs depend on ferry options.
If you are interested in Join the JPSC trip then drop me an email edwardDOTberresfordATgmailDOTcom

that sounds like a very good trip i will speak to my mate and ask him if he is up for it (gts panther) and me in
a bec powered mk, but i think that sort of trip in my mk been a bike engine wouldn’t be the most comfy!!
but i am considering it.

I'm heading to Le Mans again this year in this (RV is not mine - BMW is)

Was seriously thinking of taking the Indy Blade but I might leave it till I know it a bit better (only had it since Feb) or even stick it in the garage at the back of the RV!
