Grand Prix De France 2012: 20 May

Home to the famous 13.65km-long 24 Hours of Le Mans race which began in 1923 and is held on the Circuit de la Sarthe, the Bugatti Circuit takes riders along the old circuit for a fast right-hand 1st corner, through a left-right hairpin combination and under one of the symbols of Le Mans – the Bridgestone Tyres bridge – before leaving history behind and turning in on itself where the permanent 4.18km circuit takes over.

Le Mans is always a great weekend. We still talk about the blast we had in 2009 - great racing; great food; several late nights exploring the Le Mans night life... 2010 was widely regarded as one of the best events of the season - great weather, great atmosphere at the track. Our guest speaker was MotoGP technical guru Neil Spalding, who showed up with Julian Ryder in tow, and together provided a fascinating insight into the technical directions of MotoGP racing (as well as shared many drinks over several nights in the brilliant bar at the hotel!) Neil is now our 'regular' here!

As easy ride from the UK and many other parts of Europe, it is a great biker destination. Our packages feature secure bike parking, and we can organise
ferry crossings for groups to help you in your planning. We really pack the weekend to ensure you are never wanting for entertainment (sleep - who needs it?): Friday opening dinner party and drinks with a fascinating speaker; Saturday dinner in the historic Medieval part of Le Mans and optional tour of Le Mans' 'unique' bars; Sunday closing dinner in true French gastronome style (read plenty of great food to accompany many bottles of wine!). The Friday party is included with all packages, the others are highly recommended options!

Le Mans itself is a great town - one of the most historic medieval villages in Europe, home to the famous English royal Plantagenet family, and an utterly charming spot. Spend an extra day here; it is worth a look (the cathedral is stupendous!).

We offer packages of very different styles:
Our
3* Classic package is the one based in the centre of Le Mans, and very popular; includes 3 nights B&B with the opening party.
Our
Deluxe Package is in the top hotel in Le Mans, and adds our top VIP guide, speciality merchandise and total care throughout.
And introducing in 2012: the
Chateau Package! Based in a stunning 14th century chateau, we have a range of options from cheap and cheerful to a suite in the Chateau itself! All include dinner and transfers!

Of course we have all tickets -- you can purchase any ticket with any package -- and you can just purchase tickets from us (this will entitle you to book any of our excursions, space permitting)

The VIP Village is superb - set away from the crowds along the back section of the track, and offering service road tours in addition to the pit lane and paddock walks.
