- Where is the best place to camp?
Depends how close to the action you want to be, and your tolerance for noise! Of the official ACO on site camp-sites "Houx" is probably the best. Check Beermountain.com for some professional Le Mans go'ers opinions.

- Where is best to watch the action?
A ticket for one of the home straight grandstands opposite the pits is best for the Start and Finish. It's also great for watching night time pit action but they're expensive when for the other 20hrs you'll be elsewhere. Make sure you get a ticket that gives you access to the Mulsanne and Arnage corner viewing areas. They're a drive or shuttle bus (long queues so drive yourselves) away but essential for the late night and early hours viewing. The general access ticket gets you in everywhere else so a visit to "Karting Nord" and "Tertre Rouge" areas during the race are a must.
- What is the rough average cost (by my sums £500?)
Race tickets are cheap, it's the rest of the package that adds up. Not least your own fuel costs!
- Are any of you going to this years?
I'm going but not in the NSX this time, travelling as passenger in my friends 993 Carerra. Leaving Thursday returning Sunday. Doing it posh, staying in a hotel at Tours and will be driving to the circuit each day.
Cheers
