Received my acknowledgement from the ACO this week.
Intresting I thought, as I have not applied for tickets through them this year, and I don't have prefered status.
Then I remembered that I was so p*ssed off being put on the waiting list for camping tickets last November, having applied the day after the 2002 race, that I emailed them a request for tickets for 2004 then. Thought nothing of it as heard nothing from them, and read somewhere that they were not accepting orders for 2004 till PQ 2003.
Seems they were.
The ACO moves in mysterious ways which we mere mortals will never comprehend.
