Title: ACO Grandstand
Post by: AdamH on May 31, 2005, 11:38:35 am
Can anyone advise me about ACO Grandstand access- I had a call from the ACO yesterday offering me the 2 ACO Grandstand tickets for which I'd been on the waiting list.
However, I have just remembered that my ACO club 24 membership has expired since I placed the initial order.
Do you need an up to date ACO membership card to get into the ACO grandstand or do they just check your grandstand ticket ?
thanks
AdamH

They just check your grandstand ticket.
The membership card is only required to gain entry to the welcome centre at the back of the village, where they then issue you with a dayglo wristband, thus allowing quicker entry and exit thereafter, oh - and for discount in the ACO shop.

I would snap them up. Not only a good viewand bars but also the best place in the circuit to break ones morning seal in my opinion.

Also, have good showers with the ablutions. Only a few euros, assuming the frogs haven't reverted to francs by then ;D

Cheers for the advice guys.
I got the tickets delivered yesterday.
Can't wait to have a good view of the build up on the grid for a change
....and more importantly actually see the Hawaiian Tropic girls !

More seriously, ACO showers are indeed very clean compared to all the others.
Regarding access to the grandstand (that is, without tickets), these are half empty in the evening of the Saturday and early on Sunday morning. From the ACO bar, simply ask kindly if you can go and take a look, promising that you will stay near the steps and leave as soon as requested to do so.
I have done it several times, and you can enjoy direct view on the pitlane and teams! It's worth a try... If your French is really approximate, try gesture and smile ;)

Sorry for the mess above. The 'quote' instruction did not stop as expected.
Everything below is my saying, not that of Ferrari Spider.
Who knows? We just rejected the European constitution last week, and we are seriously considering annexing a couple of countries to restore our colonies
