By the way, I've never been to Le Mans before (always wanted to) so what's the accepted wisdom on travelling over? Thursday or Friday departure? I've assumed Thursday is the best so there's no rush and presumably the traffic will be a touch lighter?

Re: Le Mans Classic 2010
Arrrrgh! Can't get through to TD to confirm my booking and pay the deposit! Been trying since 4.45 and it's either engaged or rings off. Hopefully they're around tomorrow - hope I don't lose my reservation...

I guess it depends whether you want to be at Le Mans early friday morning or early afternoon. If the latter works for you take the friday morning crossing and drive down with us

Re: Le Mans Classic 2010
I also had provisional reservation and admit to only getting round today (Sat 31st) to confirm with TD.
Am slightly uneasy about the fact that the phone just rings out with no facility to leave message or any announcement about office hours.
Just checked and their office hours mon-fri 9-5.30 so will try to raise them first thing monday.

Re: Le Mans Classic 2010
Don't worry - when I spoke to Andrew on Thursday the phones were ringing off the hook as people were calling to book up for the Classic and 24Hr and they couldn't cope. You will get through eventually.stratfordshark wrote:I also had provisional reservation and admit to only getting round today (Sat 31st) to confirm with TD.

Re: Le Mans Classic 2010
Hello all...
Anyone know how many spaces there are left with the club site now? Was looking to stay with the club and wondered what space was available?
If this is all booked up , then it wil have to be one of the other Travel Destination offers - maybe off-site..
Cheers
