me, martyn and his dad went last year.
presumably you're riding there? if so, you needn't buy parking tickets as you're not allowed in them on bikes. and hopefully you didnt bother with seated tickets as they really arent worth much.
take a rucksack and buy food/beer before you get in there.
beer could be worse prices, however the food is mostly crap and stupidly overpriced.
hope you're staying close as well, you will need sleep. i slept in our seats in the grandstand at the start finish. when those cars come thundering past, you get woke up Mad

had my ipod in with ear buds, volume full, head covered and they still got through that without bother.

besides that general stuff. have a laugh, get shit faced, meet others, move around the track, see the bands. there is plenty to do so enjoy it.

Dont do what I did and drink c3L of dodgy wine that you buy in a plastic 'barrel', then have a couple of spliffs in the carpark. Cue massive whitey.

It's alright to be fair, but not amazing. I don't think I would go again, but I'm glad I have been.

Make sure you take a tour round the circuit to all the viewing places - end of Mulsanne is a good one.

Oh, and the only food you will be needing to eat whilst there are the Chi-chis. Bootiful. Drooling

when you're really starting to hangover in the wee hours of the morning, everyon else is asleep sensibly and no other foo shops are open, get yourself a grand marnier crepe Wink

I though it was brilliant, I went in a car.

Bikes where allowed every where this year in the circuit in the camp sites etc.

The end of the Mulsanne was brilliant I stayed at the mulsanne for most of the night. I didn't have a problem with sleep I stayed in Bleu Sud which was about a 2/3 minute walk from the track it was stupidly loud in the tent specially with the 'vettes going by 4 times every 3 minutes 30 or what ever.

I and my friends had a few naps right by the track, the noise never bothered us.
