ACO membership - worth the money?

[RaceTeam-PR]

Hi all,

I've been wondering about if I should become an ACO member.  But I can't really seem to find out, if it's worth the money spend.

Of course I'll get a book, some pictures, free DVD an so on. But exactly how can I benefit from my membership during the week at Le Mans?

I've already bought my tickets for this year. So I was wondering about exactly what, will be the biggest and coolest thing about the membership when I'm standing somewhere around the track.

(Btw,  newbie question, is the exact name for the track La Sarthe, Le Mans 24H Circuit or what?)

membership defo, have a look in our Le Mans guide 2007 pg 74 for a full answer.

the part of the membership i enjoy is the use of the clubhouse during raceweek, also there are now two club viewing areas around the circuit, they are oasis's for when your hot and knackered, somewhere you can find a seat in the shade and get some food and drink.

that has helped so much - thanks Peter

no probs Kev, maybe thank Debs/Termitermite as I believe she scribed that particular section.

I thought one of the editors should at least know who the scribes are

Kev, the guide is completely updated every year.

the road routing is my responsibility young Kev and is up to date and will be for this years edition.  There's this and a few other bits and bob's I'm finishing at the mo.

The A28 you mention is in the guide.

thats the one just wondered as im going to print it off and give it to my Co pilot to read before we go all tho he will probably be alseep when we get over to france!

I haven't been around for so long, so that was a nice sum up of the benefits. Now my only concern is, whether I can talk my travelling compagnions to join ACO as well - at least one. Because we're eight people on tour, and if a ACO membership can give access to member + four, then we're three short.

I think that the "grandstand 18" and the ACO bar/toilet facilities is the one located just where there is a little "bump" behind the tribune?
