Le Mans 24 Hour Race (1 week motorhome tour)
The exciting Le Mans 24 hr race is held every year in Le Mans, France, in June. It is an extremely popular race, particularly with the British and the average attendance is 200,000+. The race starts at 16.00 on the Saturday and ends 16.00 on the Sunday. 3,000 miles in all condition, day and night, at speeds of 240+ along the Mulsanne straight. Some watch the race for the full 24 hours. It is important to get on the campsite which is in the middle of the track on the Wednesday otherwise you will not get on! We will provide free route maps and the contacts to buy your Le Mans at the best possible prices. We feel that it is better if you organise your own camp site at Le Houx Annexe and your own general or grandstand tickets as we do not want to be responsible if the ticket agent has a problem. The best thing is to book early to ensure the campsite and grandstand you prefer.
