le mans gp

Garage Vert
By Ryan, 27 May 2011
Great tickets at a great price. This was my fourth time at the le mans GP and the first time I had used bookmoto.com the tickets arrived as promised and were cheaper than the company that I normally use. Would and have reccomended to numerous people and will be using them again for next years le mans gp.

Le Mans MotoGP 2011

Privilege
By Sean, 24 May 2011
Great race and enjoyed it a lot. For the price of the tickets in the Privilege stand the view is not great. The big screen was across from us and it was good to watch the race but you could not read the position names on the screen or times etc as there were too small. Access to the circuit is a bit chaotic. Got redirected several times and never found the privilege bike park. Afterwards I realised we must have asked the marshall right outside that carpark but he directed us elsewhere. Great atmosphere and 60km from circuit people lined the route to wave to the bikes. I'd go next time but just on general admission as there are many places with a screen to get a better view than that privilege stand. Overall good race and experience but next time I'll probably go gereral admission for the day.

Definitely no enough free seats

General Admission
By Rossi4Eva, 19 May 2011
Had gen adm tickets, but the stands were absolutely packed. No one little spot left to have a decent view. Ended up on the grass somewhere else. next time i'll def go for more expensive tickets and have a decent seat, possibly by a screen.
Food point were with endless line of ppl, on a such popular event they should provide way more point where purchase food.
Came from London on a bike and the trip has been the best part of my weekend.

Camping and Alcohol Ban!!

Yamaha
By Dave Allen, 18 May 2011
Needed some info about the camping situation, emailed you before the event to ask but got no reply, the tickets do not indicate where you can camp and as 1st timers we had no idea where we were allowed to campo and neither did the staff. Then at the camp site after no warnings or signs were told there was an alcohol ban and we had to discard stuff we had bought.
What was the French's reason for the ban? They were selling beer inside, everyone was smuggling the stuff in, just looked like a blatant money spinner for them, as they had stopped local shops selling beer as well.

Not Happy

Prestige Lounge
By MacF, 18 May 2011
Hi
After booking the tickets for myself and daughter we were expecting a half reasonable day but we were most unhappy when we arrived at the suite to find there were no seats available to sit for our meal as it had obviously been over booked. The staff were extremely helpful but I could see from the way they asked at every table that there was a problem, we waited for 20 minutes before someone vacated two seats and we were able to sit. The food was disgusting ie the vegetables looked as if they had been out for some time (we arrived at 12.15) there was no meat available until some 15 minutes after we sat down. The alternative meal (Salmon I think) looked awful, again it looked as if it had been prepared some time previously.There was no information on what was being served neither were we offered a race program, veiwing was limited due to the high number of people in the suite and at one point one person objected to the sliding window being open during practice and the race because he could not converse at his table because of the noise of motorcycles !.
There was a lack of refreshments available and we were limited to water and coffee and a sweet from a dish at the bar.
As you can see we are both very dissapointed as this was a special treat for my daughter and did not come cheap.
We would seriously have to think about using this package again in the future and would say that it did not match up to any of the other packages that we have had in UK at previous package at Moto GP at Donington.
We had considered attending Siverstone but there is no way that we would use this package again.
I do not wish to be negative but at the price paid I would have expected better.

French GP Le Mans 2011

General Admission
By adefzr, 17 May 2011
As we entered the circuit we were asked if we had any alcohol. We said yes. We showed them what we had and they made us throw all the beer in a skip. I still don't know why?
If we hadn't arrived on the Thursday about lunchtime we would have struggled to find any camping space!
If you want to leave on Sunday after the race? Forget it! We didn't leave until Monday but on the Sunday we saw people stuck in queues for upto 4 hours to get out of the circuit!
Don't be put off by all of the above!
The racing/practice was excellent as is the track and the facilities (Although there could have been more toilets).
The circuit bars were using different cups for beer and different measures 40cl at some and 50cl at others but same price?? If you took a 50cl glass to a bar serving 40cl they generally gave you 50cl?? Needs sorting out as it seems a ripoff at some bars and good value at others! But if I hadn't had to skip all my beer on the way in I maybe wouldn't have been so bothered?
To sum up:
The atmosphere and entertainment was fantastic.
The circuit is awesome.
You should go but bear in mind all I have said.
If you want to drink and eat at the circuit facilities all weekend take boat loads of money!
Otherwise. Have a well stocked fridge and hide your beer well or just buy 5 litre boxes of wine from the supermarket for less than 10 euros!!

Could make few improvements

General Admission
By Joy Isherwood, 17 May 2011
The weekend was brillant, the only disappointment was the facilities for food which were very poor which I was quite surprised about, thought a place like that would be much better.

Le Mans 2011

General Admission
By Blenks, 17 May 2011
Race day only visit. Getting into the circuit took over 2 hours in the car, just trying to find a parking spot was a nightmare, the police on duty were next to useless, we eventually parked in a shopping area just opposite the football stadium and had a 5 min walk to the circuit entrance. Inside toilets were limited, not a problem for the blokes as they just pee'd up the walls but big queues for the ladies. Some of the spectator banking was very dusty, like sand really. All this said I would definitely recommend. Massive crowd, great atmosphere, decent views and fantastic racing. Getting away was much easier. The French people were out in numbers in every town and village we passed through on the way home waving at the bikes. \they seem to have a much better appreciation of and tolerance of bikes than the Brits. Overall one you should get to if you can.

I arrived in Le Mans at 2100

Garage Vert
By Mark Rushton, 17 May 2011
Hello,

I arrived at the Le Mans circuit at 2100 and wasn't allowed to park in Privilege Parking like I paid for, I was directed to the Blue campsite where I finally got to park the car at 2330. From here, there was no space to actually pitch a tent and park the car so I had to sleep in the car. I say sleep, I was kept awake most of the night by people riding, drunk, through the camp site revving the engines until the it hit the rev limiter, again myself and my companion were supposed to be in Green camping, which may have been quieter. In day light, I was able to get the car to Garage Vert parking and was able to pitch the tent in Blue, but sadly I still had a sleepless night again due to riders revving engines, performing 'burn-outs' and generally making a nuance of themselves.

While the food was generally OK, I have to ask for more variety burger and chips or sausage and chips was pretty much the only option here. I feel I should now speak to my doctor and have a cholesterol check-up due to the fatty, artery clogging, hormone injected food served.

Great event, but could be even better

General Admission
By Mike H., 16 May 2011
This was my first MotoGP although I've been to this circuit many times before. I was a bit wary of not buying a reserved grandstand seat but we got there at 9am ish and just about managed to find a good view. If we'd got there earlier even better views would have been ours. Any later than that and you'd need a reserved seat though. There are lots of giant screens around the track, so try to get a spot where you can see one as it makes following the races much easier, especially as the circuit commentary has no English updates.

We watched at Garage Vert, you can see the bikes for a long time here, plus there is good overtaking to watch, and a big screen.

As ever, the toilet facilities at this track were poor. Long queues all day, but that's pretty standard for this type of event.

Now, my biggest gripe was the car parking. Your General Entrance ticket entitles you to free parking, but if you care for your car in any way look for other options. The car parks are also the camp sites, so by Sunday morning there is virtually no spaces left amongst a sea of tents, motorcycles, broken bottles and smouldering fires. It was a challenge to find anywhere to abandon the car without upsetting anyone. After the event, it took over an hour to get off the car ark, so make sure you don't need to rush for a ferry too.

Camping very poor

General Admission
By stephen landreth, 16 May 2011
Over all we had a great time, what let it all down was the campsites a poor organisition of what i presume were pitches and the way people were aloud to section of big arears. it took us over an hour on the site before we were able to find space for two small tents, toilets, more could have been supplied, showering was a no go only one shower block on the whole site, could not get to wash or shower for the whole weekend thank god for baby wipes.

Find somewhere you can sit down, where you can see a 'big' screen. Don't hurry to leave after the racing, take your time, it's a lot less stressful.

Le Mans Moto GP - May 2010

La Chapelle
By Ian Mazerolle, 09 Jun 2010
Arrived on the Friday lunchtime. (Eventually) found our way in as gate was closed and didn't think we had gone to trhe right place! We had "in circuit" camping included on our ticket in an excellent small camping site behing La Chapelle grandstand which meant only a 2 minute walk to the stand. The privacy and accessibility made the somewhat restricted raceday viewing worthwhile. Our ticket also had access to all areas, so we spent Friday and Saturday wandering around the circuit watching the practice and qualifying. This is an excellent circuit for moving around, with tunnels making most of the circuit accessible. We drove past the off-circuit camping which looked absolute chaos.... not the sort of place to be if it was a wet weekend. The only downside to the weekend were the europeans in the off circuit campsite revving their bikes onto the limiter for most of the night.... maybe I'm getting old, but what is the point? They had them on the stand, revving the c*$p out of them... no burnouts/wheelies etc.... I guess that would be too difficult for them! Went into Le Mans city centre on the Saturday evening using the tram service which is right by the circuit.... good selection of bars and restaurants. All-in-all, a great weekend.

French Moto GP

General Admission
By Mikey C., 29 May 2010
My first Moto GP. The weather was superb and we managed to get a good view. It would have been better to have had more stands available to purchase (upgrade) on the day and a few more large screens would have helped. No doubt the toilet facilities could be improved and the exits under the track to get off the circuit and the end of the rest were dangerously congested with no supervision. Bike parking was excellent in the Exhibition Hall park but this information was only discovered though chatting with locals.
