    Hi.

    The tickets go on sale for this in a few days.

    Does anyone know if they generally sell out quickly? Any tips on how to improve your chances of getting tickets?

    Thanks.

    67 for general access to the circuit for the week.

    Gets you into one of the practice sessions on Wednesday or Thursday, pits on Friday, and the 2 public curves for the race Saturday and Sunday.

    Camping was 51 for the week, so in total around 120 including postage.

    Was on lemans.com or something. Very tempting at that price.

    Oh ye I think I seen a website that looked official, but after a few minutes on it it looked like a travel agent doing packages or something.

    Cheap all right, the ticket is for 7 days but I think I'd be fairly bored after 3 or 4 days so that will do me.

    Anyone sitting on the fence on whether to go or not should take the plunge and book the tickets. The general admission ticket is fantastic value(and includes a programme and DVD review of the previous years race. This ticket gives you access to the entire circuit including the Porsche Curves and the Mulsanne Straight.

    The one piece of advice I would give everyone is to pick up a Kangaroo TV, absolutely priceless bit of kit for the weekend!

    I went in 09 and had probably the best racing weekend of my life, fantastic atmosphere and great racing. There's concerts on throughout the weekend as well. The drivers parade and pit lane walkabout are great sideshows for when there is no action on track and while the parade can be a bit repetitive the fans make it pretty special and worth doing for any first timers.

    We stayed in a campsite about seven or eight miles from the track but there was never any issue with traffic getting back from the track, the only delays we had were when some French farmers blocked the motorway.

    The museum is also worth visiting with loads of vintage cars and Group C ones on show as well.

    I've a gallery of probably ten images on my site for anyone interested.

    I don't really have the cash to go, but if I can convince someone else to come along the extra enjoyment over going myself would make me find the cash somewhere. :P
