Arriving in Le Mans under your own steam on Thursday TBC you will be welcomed at Chateau de Dobert with a refreshing glass of fizz & canapes.
After checking into your bedroom, or settling into your tent, you will then enjoy an optional buffet that evening on the chateau grounds and have the opportunity to make new friends, whilst also regaling each other with stories of your trip to France.
Following breakfast on Friday you will be flagged off on an optional 60 mile scenic rally on fabulous hand selected roads through the Sarthe region to the famous Hotel de France in La Chartre Sur Le Loir where you will enjoy a splendid 4 course lunch in a private dining room.

The scenic rally will continue after lunch via the Le Mans 24 Hour circuit and then return back to the chateau. You are free to make you own dinning arrangements this evening and also take in the night practice session.
Following breakfast on Saturday it’s time to head back to the Le Mans 24 Hours circuit. From there you have the rest of the day free to do as you wish and take in the atmosphere and the start of the race at 16.00.
Leaving the circuit at 18.30, its then time to head to the world famous Auberge des Hunaudieres where an optional delicious 4 course dinner has been reserved for you. This restaurant is right on the Mulsanne straight and the current AUD’s go by here at 345KPH! You really can’t get much closer to the action, as the cars thunder past only a few feet away. This really is an outstanding location to watch the action into the night!

From des Hunaudieres you have the option of returning to the chateau or going to Indianapollis & Arnage corners to watch more of the night racing. Watching the cars as they scream through the forest towards you, headlights ablaze is a sight and sound not to be missed.
Alternatively you can head to the Bar Tertre Rouge and watch the cars at close quarters as they exit the circuit section and start their journey down the Mulsanne straight. It’s your decision when you go to bed.
After breakfast on Sunday you have a free day to do as you please, either returning to the circuit to watch the end of the race, chilling out at the chateau, or perhaps a trip to a nearby vineyard in the Loire valley.
