Classic Le Mans 2023

Post by knapmann »

i see that tickets are now on sale and some camping areas are sold out already? What is the plan this year? Should I be buying a ticket now or waiting for the group buy? I wouldnt want it to sell out, not sure if the demand will be larger than normal this year with the 100 yr anniversary.

We do have a thread running … I’m just waiting for travel destinations to get back to finalise things ( they’ve been elusive this past 2 weeks though !! )

Actually, although we’ve been chatting about it on different threads I realize I haven’t actually started a dedicated thread yet.

Winter skids can be great. I’ve done a couple of awesome drives down to friends in Bavaria in Jan and Feb. Not ideal for an old car, but surely you’ve got something new and fancy to replace the GT3?

As an overview:

2023 Classic Le Mans ..... celebrate the centenary of the Le Mans 24 Hours :cheers:

As usual DDK will be there and this time its the big one to celebrate the centenary of the Le Mans 24 Hours.

If you want to join DDK on a gated secure campsite with all the luxuries of clean toilets and showers , a restaurant and bar + a trackside beer garden and of course trackside viewing area along the campsite perimeter then please see the following details on how to book.

For 2023 we are going to be based at "Village on the Curves' , located on the inside of Porsche Curves. Having done the 'general camping ' in the past, the step up to a secure private site is well worth the extra cost and being trackside is fantastic . Nothing like waking up to the sound of classic racecars at full chat :cheers:

Currently we have enough space for 40 cars & tents although we might be able to increase this .

The DDK package includes the following :

General Admission tickets + Paddock passes
7m x 3m camping plot per car ( although we are not marking the ddk area out so we can arrange the area as we want )
Superb trackside viewing on the iconic Porsche Curves
Secure fenced site with 24hr English speaking security
Lycian representatives available throughout the weekend

Marquee with wide screen televisions
Exclusive dining at our own Café Virage
Exclusive use of Village by participants and guests
Cash bar with draught beers
Private serviced toilets and hot shower facilities
( Free shuttle bus operating to different parts of the circuit - to confirm)

Can recommend the village on the curves and Lycian.
It’s where we stay when we go to Le Mans.
Already booked our plot for next year.

That’s good to know Sean. I’ve moved us away from Travel Destinations as they’ve had a change of owner and communication with them has been terrible
