It's not clear form the Page & Moy info I have whether that tour price of £129 includes a general admission race ticket... So you may have to spend at least another £35! 
Otherwise it does include ferry/eutotunnel crossing, breakdown insurance, and a camping permit.
Paying more for hotel accomodation also gets you a parking permit for the circuit.
The list of peeps for my Stag-Do currently stands at 20! Might be a bit of a hit on my credit card when I make the order!!!

R 5C0DBY - We should have a C-Type in our group too! It's a nut & bolt replica, finished in Suede Green.
When you've sorted out your travel arrangements, let me know!
C-Types...
Our convoy is looking good: 2 Impreza MY99/00's, an MY01, a 22B, C-Type, TR7V8...

Steve - Excellent stuff.
I have to say, the organisation for a large group of people in different cars is a nightmare. [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
I think I've organised all the cars & people now. At last I can contact the agencies to get decent price quotes.
I'm currently planning a Portsmouth to Caen ferry crossing. Which for us means something like a total of 6 hours driving, with a decent break in the middle.
Can't wait!

Reidy, you might want to check out the Porsche Club of Great Britain Le Mans group.

We'll be waving at anything with a Union Jack, GB Sticker, etc.

Hi there,
I'm planning to go - hopefully with a few friends.
Squizz - Whitehouse is IMHO the best place to camp, usually lots of nice cars in their so the majority of other campers respect your car - not the case in all the other camp sites.

Maison Blanche = White house! DOH! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
I simply didn't make the connection. So much for my O level French . It just seemd a name out of the blue...
"je suis tres bete" (there's a circumflex wotsit in there somewhere!)
Steve - Looks like my lot will be travelling over on Thursday. We'll have an early start from the Midlands to catch the 7.45am
ferry from Portsmouth.
Gives us a good chance of getting a half-decent camping pitch, and a chance to check out the open pit-lane on Friday.

Looks like our band of pirates will be camping down in Houx Annexe, which is the "Catch all" I believe?!?
C'est la vie.
I don't mind - I'm just going to go and enjoy everything, and learn from the experience. I'll then be better prepared for next year!

Hmmm... I'm sure our jolly-japes and adventures (avec pictures!) will make fine reading as an article in "True Grip".
Must remember to journal events as they happen.
