Le Mans 24 Heures, June 16-17, 2012

The 2011 Le Mans 24 Heures was one of the closest and most exciting races for many years with only 13 seconds separating the winning Audi from the second placed Peugeot. It will also be remembered for two incredible crashes.

Audi won the Le Mans 24 Hour despite the loss of two of their three cars to the high-speed crashes. Two-time winner Allan McNish and team-mate Mike Rockenfeller crashed in separate incidents. It was left to Andre Lotterer, Marcel Fassler and Benoit Treluyer to clinch a 10th Le Mans title for the German car maker. They completed 355 laps to beat the Peugeot number nine of Simon Pagenaud, Pedro Lamy and Sebastien Bourdais by 13.854 seconds.

McNish and Rockenfeller both walked away unharmed after crashing into barriers in horrendous fashion. Scotsman McNish crashed after his car clipped the front of Anthony Beltoise's Ferrari and went slewing across the track.

Rockenfeller touched a backmarker between Mulsanne and Indianapolis as he attempted to overtake and speared into the barriers where the car disintegrated.

Circuit Camping

Camping during the 24 Heures is a mixture of comraderie, fun and living on the wild side. There are a number of campsites around the circuit. Large groups may wish to consider organising their own private campsite. On Site can organise a VIP campsite close to the action for a large corporate or group.

For 2012, we are holding a variety of official campsite places. These campsites and "lay-bys" are inside the circuit and close to the action. All camping and lay-by areas are available from Wednesday before the race until the following Monday. Parking is included for one vehicle, within the camping emplacement (7m x 5m). There is a supplement payable locally in euros for staying June 11-12. Camping areas have toilets, showers and electrical connections.
