Ladies and Gents.
My name is Andy and one of the founder members of Team Langoustine.
We are a small company of like minded petrolheads that love LeMans for the right reasons.
We have been going to La Sarthe since 1989 and have a pretty good feel for the place and we feel can offer a much more flexible and personal experience than other organisers.

We can offer all grandstands and various camping packages in most sites within the circuit, should you wish to travel as individuals. But we prefer meeting and getting to know people that come with us, so have our own private dedicated TL campsite inside the circuit at Tertre Rouge.
This site is trackside just as the cars start accellerating up the Mulsanne.
It is private, with an 8ft wall/fencing around it. We provide hard floored Marquee with benches and tables, SAT, DVD, PA/music and a bar with cold draught beer. + private loos and decent showers.
We do this because we want to enjoy LeMans too.

This site is 1200sq mtrs restricted to 200 vehicles. This makes sure that we are not squeezed in like sardines and have room to breathe.

We intend to allocate a number of these pitches to PN and hold them until the end of January. So the sooner we have numbers the better.

As well as the camping, we offer most grandstands. For those wanting stands, If you can agree on a particular stand, then we will make sure you are all together.

All Grandstands are inclusive of GE passes and T shirts and I am sure for PN members we can sort some ticket holders and lanyards too.

Visit our website for more information or give me a call.

You can either book places as individuals and just mention Petrolhead Nirvana on your order or we'll get numbers together on this forum first.

A word of warning. The ACO (the governing body of the circuit) have not issued our public camping area allocation yet, so if you are looking for an alternative to the TL site, you will have to wait a little longer before booking.

We look forward to meeting you all in due course.

Welcome to the boards Andy, thanks for the insight.

Can i confirm that the price to camp in the TL area is per vehicle/pitch? Also now that speedferries has gone into administration will you be offering alternative crossings through a different carrier or would you advise we organised our own trip into France.

Harsh might be worthwhile drumming up some interest at the Ace monday week for this trip.

The price in our dedicated site is per vehicle. To make sure it's fair, we assume no more than 4 occupants. We have had 25 in a minibus turn up before now and it's just not fair on everyone else. So if you are planning on taking up more than 45sqmtrs, then please call me first.

Our website will be updated this weekend to remove the Speedferries option. We are trying to get another ferry operator to partner us, but they are hard nuts to crack because they sell everything that week anyway, so no incentive to offer us deals.

My advise is book now direct. We hope to offer a discount, but the ferry companies are just as likely to double prices in the New year.

And thanks for the welcome guys.
Hope to meet a few of you on the 8th.
