The booking page for the 2016 DDK Classic LeMans trip is here :)

http://www.1st-tickets.co.uk/ph/enquiriesddk.html


We are camping on 'Public Bleu Nord' . DDK have block booked an area so all DDK'ers who book here will be camping together. We are also including a central area in the camping plot where we can put up some gazebos etc and have a central socialising / meeting point. In addition to this we are planing on having a DDK Barbeque on the Friday evening ( hopefully Brian is able to squeeze a couple of barbeques into his truck for us :) ) . We will need 'donation's of food for this + anyone happy to help cook too :)

We will also reinstate the regular DDK Mulsanne Chicane meet at 10am ish Friday :)

As usual , the prices includes entrance tickets, paddock passes & camping pass for one vehicle + a camping pitch which is generally big enough for 2 normal sized tents and your car. All pitches are numbered and you will be supplied with this info asap. It doesn't matter when you arrive, your pitch wont get taken.

We also have a DDK infield parking area available during the daytime for anyone who wants to display their cars within the circuit.

If you want to camp in the DDK area , please book your tickets for Public Blue Nord. Do NOT book the private camping area.

Grandstands are useful but not a neccesity

Tracklaps are great fun if you've never driven the full 24hr circuit before.


If you've not sorted out travel arrangements then for info .....

a large group are travelling Hull - Zeebrugge on the Tues night .. , overnight Weds in France, then arriving at the circuit Thursday afternoon.. , returning Mon night .

I know another group are heading out via the Tunnel Weds am, overnighting in France etc and returning Mon.

Both these groups are staying enroute in France.

You'll also notice , at their request , we have the Danish Classic Porsche Club camping alongside us to add to the european classic porsche camping atmosphere 8)

Any questions please ask.

just to note .... if you specifically want to be camped next to someone else who is booking seperately from yourself, email Brian at 1st tickets. I will be allocating pitches so its useful to know .

Anybody going for the grandstand tickets? Or do you think its worth trying to get some free hospitality tickets from your local OPC or DDK friendly OPC, namley Bolton to get in the Porsche experience centre

What was that posher stand we went to before, didnt we book that through the ACO?

Can you add grandstand tickets after your initial booking?

I'll probably be going out on the Plymouth-Roscoff ferry on the Wednesday night, to be at LM Thursday afternoon. Staying at the Technopark, so will see you folk as I stagger back and forth to track at all odd hours...

Hi James, many thanks for setting this up. I've just booked a car+2 on the DDK package without ferries, as we plan to take the fast-cat from Portsmouth early Friday morning
Cheers, Al
