Me and 6 friends are planning a trips to to Le Mans in june... But none of us has ever been there.
We "prefer" a camping close to the track...
Anyone experience, tips... Do's, Don't-s..
Thanks in advance

In all have a great time there is no right and wrong way to do Le Mans really just maje sure you got enough beer but not so much that you miss too much action.
Hopefully i'll see you there!

If you're going to try to sleep, bring earplugs, obviously.
For me at least, sleep deprivation + loud engines can equal headaches, so headache medicine was useful.
It was 11 years ago that I was there last, but at least then, for me, the food available at the track was terrible.
I don't think the weather really got all that cold, but I think my body stopped producing heat when it thought it was time to sleep, and I felt like I was freezing to death in the early morning hours. Made it very hard to sleep. I even wore thermal underwear but it didn't help because there was no heat from my body to trap. I don't know how to solve that problem
Schedule some time to visit the museum at the track.
I have such great memories from Le Mans (besides the freezing). Have a great time!

to what's been said about bringing a portable radio for Radio Le Mans. Essential if you don't speak French.
My plan (and those I'm going with) involves Kangaroo TVs

You have been warned
This is why you need a camera

Is there any possibly of staying in a hotel? Camping isn't really my thing but it's only option i've seen in threads like this. Are hotel rooms really hard to come by over the race weekend?
Hey ya domhnall...
I went back in the late 60's and early 70's, Dad put us in the Chateau de LaBarre
They weren't a 'tourist' hotel like it is now but I DO recall a large party going on there for about 2 days during the event.
Below are a list of hotels in the area

looks like i'm going to le mans this year too - but I just wanted to confirm what i've heard elsewhere.
Can you get hold of tickets at the event itself?
Thanks!
