LE MANS 2024 BOOKING PROCESS
Without the Classic in 2024, the sole fix for endurance fans will be the June event. Add to this the prospect of BMW, Lamborghini and Alpine joining the Hypercar line-up, along with a wide range of GT3 machinery replacing GTE, its going to be a fantastic event!
We opened registrations for 2024 very early this year due to the huge demand for places for the Centenary event which we were aware that many of our clients failed to get spaces for. This was major disappointment to the entire Team who even attempted to obtain a second site to fulfill the demand. With this in mind we would like to outline the process as below:
1. YOUR PHONE CALL
Only parties that have filled in and submitted a Registration of Interest form will be contacted by either Shannon or Maisie towards the end of August. Guests that have stayed with us in the past will receive priority calls in the order that the forms have been received. All new guests will then follow, again in the order that the forms were received.
2. QUOTATION
When you receive your call a quotation will be provided based on the information included in your submitted Registration of Interest. This will be valid for a period of 48hrs from the time of receiving your quotation. Please note quotes will be based on 2023 prices; we anticipate final prices being launched around September/October 2023.
Ensure when you receive the quotation that you check it very carefully to ensure that you have everything included so that we can make any required amendments before the final booking confirmation is sent. Amendments can be made later in the process, but this will be subject to availability at the time the change is made.
3. PAYMENT OF DEPOSIT
Your quote will need to be converted into a firm booking with a non-refundable £150.00 deposit. Once the 48hrs has elapsed if the booking is not confirmed then the registration of interest will be lost. There is no exception to this time limit.
We hope you understand that due to the unprecedented interest received in the 2024 event, we have had to introduce this process to work through the booking references in order to ensure fairness to those that have previously submitted an enquiry alongside a short window for taking deposits to confirm bookings.
Other important information…
MEAL PACKAGES
We will not be reserving meal packages until the autumn as we want to ensure that these are kept competitive.
GRANDSTANDS
Please note when ordering a grandstand ticket, they will be subject to availability and once the order is placed, these tickets cannot be cancelled or refunded.
MOTORHOMES AND CARAVANS
If you have a motorhome/caravan, then it is essential you supply the exact length as standard pitches are only 7mx 5m and we will not allow any over- hang into roads or access areas for Health and Safety reasons. If you arrive and the unit is larger than can fit on the pitch, we may not be able to accommodate you. We do have a limited number of large pitches available.
This policy will also be in place for tents and cars which cannot fit exactly on the pitch if you are unsure then please measure your outfit in advance, if in doubt then discuss with a member of the team.
SOLO TRAVELLERS
If you have asked for a quotation for a Solo Traveller pitch, then you must ensure that you are able to fit both the tent and your vehicle on the 7m x 3m pitch, otherwise we may have to ask you to park the vehicle outside the Village compound at an additional cost. Unfortunately, as the site will be full, we will not have the flexibility to offer parking or transfer you to a standard pitch when you arrive.
GROUPS AND LINKED PITCHES
We will always, where possible, link pitches for groups who have requested to be together however this will not be possible if there is a variety of large pitches, Village Belles, Solo Traveller pitches or electric hook up, as these elements are contained within certain areas only. Please also note that if you asked to be linked to another booking, we will endeavour to fulfil your request however this is not something we can guarantee.
We do not know how long the process of bookings will take but anticipate it will be no longer than 4 weeks, we would be grateful if you do not contact the office until this time has elapsed but if you don’t hear from us within this time span it is unlikely that you have been successful.
If you are not successful in obtaining a space all may not be lost as we are in discussion with the ACO to obtain a second site, but we are unlikely to have confirmation of this before September at the earliest due to French holidays taking out most of August.
