I'm sure he's a great athlete but who is he and what car did he race?

I think it’s a great idea to enlarge the public and viewers with others athletes from others sports

Motorsport can’t survive as a microcosm

LeBron is probably not very famous in France or Europe, but he is a superstar in America, particularly for young peoples, that’s why his venue is a good point for ratings and popularity of motor sports

We have had an additional technical issue and apologise for that.

However, we do not understand if you were on circuit why you just did not come to our ticketing desks (North and East entrances, Accreditation Center) to get new and hard copies of your tickets.

You have received an new email today because all QR codes were generated once again today. If you do not have access to a printer, just come and meet us at our desks.

Here is the reply from ACO regarding my complaints about the tickets not working.......

BLAME THE CUSTOMER....... I'm not happy.

Getting to Arnage tonight from BSJ, they closed the road, we had to take the long way....... Not happy, I pointed the police to my parking sticker but no entry. When finally arrived I spoke to a Frenchman who was let through because of his sticker... I'm confused............
Update, just heard from Andrew to follow VIOLETsigns.....

As I've said elsewhere - just do as you're told and it will be fine. In fact, I'd say my journey to Arnage and last night to Mulsanne was easier than usual, once past the Arnage village logjam. Getting back wasn't so easy though....

Still hasn't sunk in what an incredible event 2023 was.

It would have been unforgettable anyway, but having my best mates beside me as my stag do was absolutely out of this world. 7 of them had never been a race track before - almost all of them are booking time off work to come back next year.

The weekend was topped off when Fabio Scherer decided to hobble our party in the middle of the massive roundabout by Beausejour. Drank champagne from the podium and lifted the LMP2 trophy! Such a great guy.

Just watched a film about the 1968 Le Mans. It was mentioned it was the president of FIAT that year.

Personally I’m hoping for Kylie Minogue next year.

Uusally, it's an alternation : one year a celebrity, and next year a personality of automotive
So next year, it will probably be a chairman of motor company

Seems plenty are getting on the bandwagon and why not? Le Mans is a recognisable enough event, even if it isn't quite a mainstream sport. And the event is very big on it's history, so there is so much merchandise to sell

BMW have already confirmed that there's going to be an art car at next year's race!

https://twitter.com/BMWMotorsport/st...47693559230466

If I had to guess I'd imagine they'd take a leaf out of Porsche's book and bring the two WRT WEC cars and then maybe at least one IMSA car. Hopefully two given it's different teams.

Almost, but it achieved 407kph but it was announced as 405kph as that was the new model, the 407 didn't arrive till 2004.

Either way the man and car will always be a Le Mans legend!
