Petit Le Mans 2024

[Gerard C]

Wahoo, so cuuuuute! Thanks for the pic. We have two Yorkies, one of each gender, Wanda (The Princess) and Le Kolonel. They say "bonjour" to yours! They're not fierce either but very good sentinels, constantly on the alert!

For anyone that wants to come by here's the location.

successful and foggy week at Road Atlanta.
Bourbon tasting got sloppy.
Thanks to Aston Martin Racing Team, RLL and a Porsche team (which I forgot who) for showing up in big numbers and with bottles.

Probably should be in a 25 thread but how does this impact us, if true?

The early entry has been removed from the Ultimate Fan package, that was confirmed with the email he sent for renewal. Also price went up by 25 bucks for the season pass, camping did not change

It's almost enough for me to just get Mitty and Petit tickets and swap to just buying the reserved for Petit but don't know the pricing on that yet. I have not asked if the no early entry means a reserved RV change but that was not mentioned. I have to assume the early entry was removed as it was massively cheated on the last few years, more than a few campers this year were not early entry eligible and folks were cheating through one of the side gates.

I just hope they don't screw with the reserved RV early entry. It's already a little bit of a cluster F. They say 8:00am Tues entry for reserved RV but this year it was delays for over an hour for some reason. I arrived at 7:30am and didn't get to my parking spot until 9:45am. Rumor has it that they may not allow anyone in as late as 5:00pm on Tuesday. Without knowing a reliable entry time, it becomes even more screwy.

My guess is that it's just another side effect of the NASCAR ownership. This and the new dreaded speed bumps.

Nope, nothing to do with ownership. Speed bumps were state required for insurance coverage. Same with the bike helmet obsession , they were warned by Hall County they would start patrolling more and the track response was to be more aggressive to stop the patrols, cause that's the alcohol hatred too, GSP don't give a rip about it. The early entry is likely due to cheating and camping entry all day Tuesday that was not within the regs with RV guys leaving and coming back in saying it was their car and they went to Publix

Just spoke with Shannon and he verified that there would be NO early entry for anyone other than workers and reserved RV. Again, sighting some legal safety reason with conflicts between the team equipment entries and the volume of people with early public entry. He did assure me that reserved RV people would have access on Tuesday well before general entry on Wednesday. Most likely around 5:00pm but possibly a little later depending on the situation. I guess it sucks for those that use to buy the Ultimate Fan Club passes for the early entry. For me it means I don't have to get up so early on Tuesday and don't have to fight so many others for EZ-UP setup. Wednesday will be a complete cluster. Glad to be far away from the entry gates on that day.

They probably could have done a better job of safeguarding against people sneaking in by issuing some type of Tuesday entry pass or a specifically colored stamp on their hands when they leave. Oh well, as long as reserved RV has some type of early entry it won't be too bad. Just wish they would dial in the exact time for early entry other than some time after 5:00pm on Tuesday. Wonder how many snuck in by hiding in a friends RV. They never even looked inside ours.
