1/ This looks like an AI generated topic.

2/ I agree with Ayse.
Since 2021 (although that year was a bit of a strange one to be on circuit), all the events have been some of the best ever!

Our group will be having a toast to 1955, but specially for our own lost companion (Probably at Tertre Rouge) bar 18.36 on Wednesday 11th.

Roger Vernon Price was at the 1955 event and only moved away from the circuit to re-load some camera film preventing him from being in the firing line!
He sadly passed away on 6th April this year after a long fight with bowel cancer, aged 88.
I knew him for many years at the end of his life but he had never returned to LM after 1955!

He was featured in the book, Le Mans Winning Colours after I interviewed him for Mick Hill.

His favourite beer Doombar and favourite snack, penguins all round for us!

Last year there was no pedestrian access to Houx.
Camping pass holders only.

I have ordered paper tickets to be printed and sent out by DHL.

Given the organizers past performance is less useful than a marzipan dildo it is just not worth taking the risk!

From ACO today.

Regarding the App, that will be released within a month maximum, it will allow you to transfer tickets from your smartphone to others of course.
If you want all your tickets from all your bookings to be posted to you, we invite you to call us to pay the €35 DHL fees.

Got down there one year with hospitality (which we had already blagged our way into the pit hospitality boxes), it was just a raised platform with a bar for VIP's.

Pretty good view and great sounds, but needed a 4x4 shuttle to get to - it was VERY WET - must have been 2016.

I cannot see them ever herding the masses that way.

Haven't missed one since 2003 (except 2020 of course). And don't intend to stop going just yet.
This successful phase will pass.

Got thrown out the first time (but, I had logged in at 8am........)
Logged back in, says waiting time over an hour.

This rapidly reduces, waited about 30 minutes in the end.
Managed to get 12 seats more or less together and 6 camping passes, sorted within half an hour.
(THREE Laptops)

Apart from limited availability (no front rows available), just about managed to get what we wanted.

Better than last year, I would say..........
