Difficult to run a race behind closed doors when half of the track is public road!
And I doubt the ACO could afford to run the race without paying customers anyway, so it will either run as "normal" or not at all I would have thought.

I'm sure if they really needed to, they could still close the roads etc, but you're right that they'd probably not do it if they couldn't sell tickets. Not worth the aggro, unless the costs would be covered by TV rights or subscription streaming or the like.

Found this, from Macron, last week

Quote
Speaking in an address to the nation on Monday night, French President Emmanuel Macron announced the extension of nationwide lockdown until at least 11th May, as the country continues to fight the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Public gatherings, restaurants, cafes and hotels, cinemas, theatres, halls and museums will remain closed at this stage. The big festivals and events with a big audience will not be able to occur until earliest mid-July. The situation will be collectively evaluated from mid-May to adapt things and provide more clarity.”

Germany & Belgium have banned mass gatherings until end of August for now; I'm starting to think there's no way LM24 will be going ahead unless it does so behind closed doors...

I did mine on line by just amending my booking.
Brittany Ferries outbound Portsmouth to Caen on 17th September and return on 21st. Also £90 cheaper Grin

Ditto - changed dates on the Pompey-Caen crossing, on the equivalent ferry - out Wednesday overnight, back Monday PM. £77 cheaper Smiley
Brittany Ferries presumably caught napping by the ACO...

Just spotted (thanks to PH - https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=&t=1860248) that this was on BBC Four last night.

Now on iPlayer for 2 months; if you need to (cough) stream it to a bigger TV using Plex or something, you may want to download a copy of using a tool like

With the MeedJa talking about 12 week isolations, and mass gatherings being cancelled... that puts us into middle of June time. I'm increasingly thinking there's no way the race is going ahead  Sad

Sounds like the weather is going to be like the religious affiliations in Iraq.

Occasionally Sunni, but mostly Shi'ite...

Good news! My wing man is coming after all ... See you at Newhaven tonight!

Cool Steve, I see Ewan has sticked up for the trip over on PH.

Indeed...



Spoke to my passenger yesterday, his eardrum ruptured on a flight on Friday, so i doubt he'll be making it across Sad

Clucking Bell - We (Evil Sam & me) are not going this year - Sad

22 years of first going to Le Mans - this will only be my 2nd one I will miss!

Due to family comitments (wedding) in Scotland, I can not get the pass to get to Le Mans this year,

funny really, put our name down for tickets as soon as the race finised, booked the ferry the day after they were released, 1st time in my life I have been organised - and now can't go

But don't worry, I shall have my Le Mans drinking trousers on and will be drink Loch Lomand beer and Whisky.

Have a great time all - and We shall return 2020 !

WHAT THE WHAT?Huh

You mean we'll need to elect a new camp commandant??

Take it easy, and make sure you smuggle a discrete earpiece into the wedding so you can listen to RLM coverage...

As for this year, I'll be with the DfH massif along a gang of hangers on, including Mark, Dave, Paul +1 (aiming to better their arrival last year, where the-then 2 passengers had been drinking rum since before leaving blighty).

hi guys

apologies for being away - since JPS Beemer was the first to say "I'll have the lot", I think he's in pole position - so Tony, I've pinged you a PM with my mate's contact details; give him a shout directly if you can.

There is someone else circling who might snap em up tomorrow; but my mate Rob is waiting for your call...

cheers

To DFH, Neil, Dangerous, Steve, Andy et al... missing you already Smiley

Marty.

 Kiss Kiss

There is still time..................

I will miss the great welcome we get when we get to site!

Well to be honest your damn good red wine box as we roll in - we will all miss u

As they say - "go on, go on, go on"  Grin Grin



Yeah, go on Martini! Poor kev_mk3 might have to shift his tickets and we'd love to have you back :-)
29  Club Arnage / 2017-18-19 / 2 x General Entry tickets - £100 + P&P on: June 01, 2018, 06:26:40 pm
hi

I inadvertently bought 2 extra GE tickets so I now have a couple of physical ones going spare.

Either:
* 2 x general entry physical tickets - £100 + £7 special delivery for next day

OR

* 2 x digital tickets, emailed to you as a PDF to print yourself - £100

LMK if anyone wants them before they go on eBay, where a league of w**k*rs will try to scam me out of both money and tickets.

One of our number is having to pull out (baby due, pah, hasn't been very thoughtful with that one) so is looking to sell his tickets, ideally as one lot:

1 x Houx Annex camping (Q59) (face €69)
2 x Barnato Tribune (14) - row F 65-66 (face €75)
2 x General Entry (face €82)


Tickets were bought through an agency so paid a lot more than face value, but rather than the €384 / £340 they are marked as, he'd take £295 to help them on their way, including UK delivery
Can do cash on collection in the south east (Reading/London) or others TBA.


Let me know if you're interested and I'll put you in touch

cheers
Ewan
