I've brought and paid for my camping (thanks James) do I need to pay for parking as well or can I park next to the tent in Karting Nord?

cheers

Park the car on the campsite & never move it all weekend if you want. The Paddocks , village etc are all within walking distance

Does anyone have an idea how much to budget for fuel cost from Cean to lemans. Also in order to do the track laps one needs track day cover, does anyone have any leads as to where i may get this as it may be prohibitive?

cheers

As I understand it you need to buy paddock passes this year.

total cost including UPS delivery was 150 euros. ( & I could use my credit card with their online shop )

Life is too short to try & book tickets via the Porsche Club

I want to book 1 weekend pass (no problem)
1 paddock pass (no problem)
1 parade lap (where do I do that from on the ACO site?)

parade laps only availble via the French Porsche application, not A.C.O

does that mean you need to be a member of PCGB?

No, but the price is slightly higher if you are not.

From the organisers today:

Dear Sir,

You can group the 6 orders, but can you please just FILL ONE FORM for the group (one form = one name = one payment = one registration number).

You will receive your registration number 10 days after the reception date of the form.

Do not hesitate to send a mail in you require any further information.

Best regards from France !

Helen and I would like 2 Porsche Lounge week-end packages and grandstand tickets.

If you can arrange for us that would be gret!

Let me know how you want to sort out payment.

Many thanks

Larry

Complete nightmare - went to book weekend pass and paddock pass on ACO site and got the identify yourself page

Filled it all in - got an error saying must fill in all the boxes (had already done so with the ones marked *) - so went and filled in the unnnecessary ones as well - still got the same error.

Cleared my cache and removed all clm cookies - tried again - same problem.

Then switched browsers (from Firefox to internet explorer) and tried again - same page same problem on Internet Explorer.

James did it work first time for you - are you already registered on the site?

Mark

EDITED:-

Sussed it - the english error message said "YOU MUST FILL IN ALL BOXES" but in the top left hand corner was a french error message "LOGIN DEJA PRIS" - Login already taken - either I was asking for an existing username or I'd registered previously - turns out it was the latter.

Of course - I'd previously registered with them when I booked my camping.

So just to be clear - I've now booked a week-end pass and also paddock pass - noted that the paddocks won't let you in in jeans, and shirt and tie is preferred. Cost for me in total with UPS delivery was 83.5 Euros (this is just for 1 person)

1st time I went on to the site it said all the weekend tickets had gone !!!

Went back a couple of hours later and it was fine.

I managed to register 1st time with no probs.

If you do have trouble, email them & they will get back in contact.
