I had a similar experience - I emailed photos of my '72 911T & PCGB membership card & got an instant reply from Vincent.

Incidentally I received a copy of the french "RS" magazine this morning - the Le Mans Classic 2004 'special' with no accompanying letter or compliments slip. Anyone else get a copy ?

Hope I'm not just missing something obvious, but is the "Maison Blanche camping area" that everyone keeps mentioning the same as the "Karting Nord" area on the booking form??...

Maison Blanche doesnt seem to be mentioned on the ACO form... only Karting Nord

Bit confused here.... :?:

...ahh ok. SO, Is the DDK contingent staying at this Maison Blanche campsite, or the Karting Nord one on the booking form?

If the answer is Maison Blanche, then where/how/what form do I need to book this campsite? If the answer is Karting Nord, then thats easy I'll use the ACO form from the booking thread....

Hope someone can clarify this... I just dont want to book the wrong camp site thats all!!!

Thanks,
Gavin

Gavin - we are staying at Maison Blanche - this needs to be booked directly but I have a feeling that someone said the site was fully booked.

This is the link (it appeared much earlier in the thread):

Still confused! I never saw Maison Blanche specified! Does anyone believe we are split between two sites? :? :evil:

(if we are it's just an excuse to find a decent 'half way house') :lol:

Have you had your ACO confirmation yet for the camping?
