It only cost 60 Euro - I recall it cost more before but it still seems to have all the benefits I need. It runs out at the end of June, which is a bit cheeky because I'll be at the Classic on 3 July and will need an up-to-date card. They took payment twice. Great. So it seems the ACO's website still hasn't quite made it to the 2010s yet ![]() |

Not sure the 60 euro membership gives you the discounts on tickets that the 110 euro one does. Anyway if you renew it now it will run to next august at least. If you get discounts on le mans and classic tickets next year it will more that cover the extra

I wasn't offered any option other than 60 Euro, nor can I see any way to upgrade or add to my membership. And it clearly states that my membership runs till the end of June. Sigh.

Before you renew phone them up and speak to them, most of the staff at the ACO speak good English and they will help. If not speak to catherine.boutier@lemans-tourisme.fr she is very helpful and will assist you.

Ok, I've decided to go with TD, camping at Porsche curves. It's the same cost as the PistonHeads camp and whilst other campsites may be cheaper I know I get a virtually "fence free" view of the track at this location. And it has beer and bacon sandwiches.
I've also bought a tent! ![]() Main logistics issue is the plastic containers for the comestibles for the lunchtime gathering. ![]() |

Many people have their camp site preferences, but it's what suits you best that matters. Enjoy! Also.... Can I retire yet too? |

I am however completely confused about what membership gets what and between my broken French and the better but not fluent English of the ACO people politely emailing me, I’m not getting any clarification. The first person denied the €109 option existed. It doesn’t on the ACO site but is available on the ticketing site. There is apparently a €15 upgrade to the €60 option but I’m not clear if that gives me all I would have got for the full fat €109 option. I don’t care about discounts. I want early booking and access to all the ACO member areas and Grandstands. The advice of the expert denizens here would be much appreciated! |

OK i think you need the euro 109 option, but i think you should phone them up, they are all fluent in english and very helpful, The euro 60 option is really the equivalent of basic uk rac rather than the racing membership, on the lemans site the only options are the euro 109 and the uprated euro 249. The increased cost can be ofset against the discounts you get on race tickets, camping etc and when you get to the circuit if you go to the area near the dunlop bridge and register you get a full pack of stuff including a programme so further savings.

I thought it was a very good package and will do it again simply because you get around the circuit with access to reasonable food and beverages. As I said I don't think I'll need a grandstand for the race but will be wandering around during the day and evening so will need the facilities. |

You also get free access to the museum but some years your normal ticket also gives you access. The early access to camping and grandstand tickets is good if you want particular sites but to be honest most of the sites you want will already be sold out before it opens s they are often allocated to agents like 1st tickets etc.

Ah right. This year I paid 150 euros and got the full package other than the grandstand on raceday/weekend. It also covered my wife. So we got 2 for the price of one. Now it seems the base package does not include the access to lounges etc. but for an extra 40 Euros you can add these on. Then for another 20.00 euros you can take along a guest. Cost wise it appears to make little difference but I guess it does mean folks have a bit more choice.

well that is a new change, usually take the full 6 discounted tickets but that is now only 2 and no mention of discounts on camping ticket etc. my renewal is due November so will see what they say but looks like i will just get the cheap one in order to get my camping tickets and a couple of race ones.

Ok just got a reply you can either stick to the old scheme at 109 euros and get the discounts as before or go for the lower figure and get 2 discounts, will stick to old one.

I still haven't received my pack so I emailed the ACO yesterday. Got a nice email from Helene (add assorted accents over the 'e's) saying she would send it again. That's two years running I've had to remind them to send it....
