Yes indeed. We need to inject a degree of optimism after my earlier pessimism. The ACO are going to put us all on the airfield with free streaming!

Ah, but the planes whizzing past would be great air-conditioning!

Might make it hard to sleep and conversation would be difficult.

The organizers of the 24 Hours of Nürburgring confirm that the race will be without spectators (AUTOhebdo website).

There's lots of space at the ring for them to have to Police to keep people way, I'm not sure they'll manage...

as far as space at Tertre Rouge is concerned, it may be that the ticket agency are reallocating spaces which they were originally allocated but either have not been taken or people who did want them have decided to miss this year.

It has also been suggested that the ACo might have taken the team languistine area on the inside of tertre rouge and could be using that now, but no certain as this would not be in the rouge area

Not as hard as you might imagine. Most of the big spectator areas are easy enough to close off. There is a bike/hiking path round a lot of the circuit but often without views of the track. There are large parts where you can't really get near the track at all. In many cases access is via a road or path that is easy to block off / police. Bear in mind that the entire circuit is ticketed for a normal event so stopping people wandering in unmonitored is part of the organisation of the event.

While trawling around, I see that the 1st Tickets website specifically says that there will be no access to Arnage and Mulsanne (presumably unless you're allocated to the villages there). Nothing at all on Just Tickets other than links to the various ACO announcements. Travel Destinations have no useful up to date information at all, as far as I can see. Zilch on Speedchills as well. Motor Racing International (who I didn't realise still existed - I travelled with them in 1998), still think the race is in June..... Last edited by Aysedasi; 24 Jul 2020 at 14:02. |

Well, on Thursday I called the ACO because I have a Houx ticket AND grandstand 18 tickets what could be conflicting. They explained me that they are working on the formulas they will propose to the tickets owners. Normally, they will join us to communicate which area we will be allocated. We will have no alternative. But it looks to be difficult!!!! So .......
But for sure I'll give priority to the grandstand so I'll ask the credit for my 2021 campsite ticket. Last edited by batmobile; 24 Jul 2020 at 15:59. |

Hopefully there will be flexibility in the conversations with the ACO when they do get in touch with fans. I've got Houx camping (bought from an agency) and Ford Chicane GS (via ACO). But I need a guaranteed electricity hook-up that Houx provides so I can do some work while on site.

I think you are right Eric, not sure this year will be the best year for camping as many of the usual people will not be there, although it appears our campsite might end up with more of the ten-tenths regulars this year

France has also banned travel to and from Northern Spain.

Makes me laugh how there is now criticism of the government for acting too quickly..... Hilarious.

panic over this is every where, politicians who have been blamed for not acting fast enough are now jumping to be seen to be ahead of everyone else.

Apparently, Antwerp is a Corona hotspot! So maybe I'll be given a travelban
