I have never heard of camping sites being restricted more than what a GE ticket permits. (Tertre Rouge might be the only exception, in which you Simon is the expert) |

TR has had passes for many years and i think some orher sites within the GE area do as well, the extra security it gives are one of the main reason i always camp there

No problem on HA you can just walk on to the site, but that does mean that it is not very safe to leave anything of value there, best to make friends with all those camping around your spot, that way they will look out and challenge anyone strange snooping around while you are not there.

o wise ones,
since i'm going to be at the wrong end of europe come The Holy Week, will the friend who was going to come with me be able to pick up our grandstand tickets with a scanned in copy of my driving licence? on the initial email it just said a copy of the id, whereas the latest "this is where you're going" directions email just says "your id". obviously this is france so it depends on the mood of the person behind the counter, direction of the wind etc but... is there an official word on this? |

i think they will be so busy that they will not look at anything other than the name, glad you are not wasting the tickets, and tell your friends that they are still welcome at the meet on Saturday. You will be missed and glass or two raised in your honour

A couple of years ago I was told very firmly by the ACO ticket office that only the person named on the order could pick up the tickets and no proxy would be accepted.

oh, bloody hell. maybe i need to call them, or ask the friend to call them to see what the score is. the annoying thing is she was going to be using one of them anyway, it's just that i placed the order.
here's the bit from the order email that says someone else can collect them: Quote:

It says that another person can collect them with a copy of your ID so surely that can be arranged.

Has anyone else renewed their ACO subscription recently? I renewed mine on 29th April, my account was debited the same day and I still have no card. I emailed the ACO and had a nice reply from Letitia who said that they had had delays in sending cards out but she would send me another 'temporary' one today. As I leave on Saturday I'm not holding out much hope of either arriving in time. As far as I recall, the only time I'm going to need it is when I register for my (no doubt very fetching) wristband. Presumably if I have last year's card (which only ran out in May) that, together with their own records will mean that I have no problem... (I can even bring my building society statement showing the payment to them.....).

They are always very slow, mine expires every year in oktober and it takes lots of weeks after and lots of sent emails before I have my new pass!
Service remains of poor standards but as long as we pay at least the ACO is happy. |

Your membership number will be the same so keep your old cards with you and use them

Aysedasi,
I joined the ACO at about the same time as you renewed ............ Also had a couple of email conversations with Lititia who was extremely helpful with temporary cards etc etc but the official card arrived in the post on Saturday so good to go. |

Well I'm not getting overly worried. As Simon says, I've had my number since 1997, so they should be able to find me! It's just annoying that it's still not here 34 days after handing over my hard-earned dosh..... I don't really want to come back to it in an envelope after the race.....

Don't worry Andrew i am sure the strip on your card will pick up your current position and you will be able to use it to buy race tickets at the reduced rate and get you into the ACO area's.

Yep, as I say, I'm not worried about it, just annoyed at the poor service.

Hi folks! Greetings from finland (newbie). First time in le mans since -06 when i was a little boy
I have few questions about the race: 1.How early should you go to watch the start. Like early before the warm ups (9.00 am.)? We were thinking about mulsanne corner or the esses. 2. During the race, Arnage and Mulsanne? We got vehicle on our own so transportation is not an issue. Traffic instead might be. Any advice would be helpful. Hope we all got an epic race and battle between all the manufacturers in lmp and gt-classes. See you in next week! Thanks! |

Welcome to the forum, if you have a grandstand ticket you can leave it until late to take your seat, if you want to watch on the start finish line then good spots will be full quite edarly, however if you watch the start from just about anywhere else no problem, so you will have time to make the meet at 12.00 in the village.
as for going to the other viewing areas at mulsanne and arnarge, yes traffic is bad and you may need a specific car parking ticket for them. the coaches are free but can also take a long time. |

Out of interest, does anyone know what parts of the track are open for pedestrians to actually get on the grey stuff on Friday & what times?

Friday is the hardest day to be certain as the Police shut the track at various points to prevent automotive high-jinx.
On Weds and Thurs they shut the road around lunchtime, but still allow pedestrians and pushbikes around for a bit longer. |
