General Discussion / Re: 2023 Tickets

« on: December 22, 2022, 01:32:17 am »

I was very surprised to read that it was sold out today. I was planning on attending in 2023 and am in a bit of a panic. I am hoping that they either release more tickets or someone here will have an extra ticket to sell between now and June 10.

2023 / Wanted - Two General Admission tickets Le Mans 24 2023

« on: December 21, 2022, 08:34:51 pm »

Hi All,

Did not realize it was possible for the race to sell out let alone so early. When I went in 2007 and again in 2017, i purchased tickets on the day of the race!

Would really appreciate if anyone has 2 general admission tickets to spare.

Thank you!!

Had an amazing time. Was my first time back since 2007. Incredibly easy and stress free trip from CDG to the circuit and back on a very short timeline (72 hours in France).

Pretty happy with these shots I took:

Hope to link up with some of you all next time if I'm not on such a tight schedule.

thats encouraging.

“We hope to be able to go and we are planning to go at this stage, but the final decision has not been made,” he said. “It is a very good preparation for the Le Mans 24 Hours.”

Audi has traditionally used Sebring as a Le Mans warm-up and continued to compete in the event after the manufacturer withdrew from the ALMS at the end of 2008. It has missed the race only once, in 2010, since the start of its prototype program in 1999, and has notched up 10 Sebring wins.

Gass also said that Audi's participation would be “a kind of a farewell” to an event that will be out of bounds when LMP1 machinery likely disappears from U.S. sports-car racing after the new, combined ALMS and Grand-Am series debuts in 2014.

“It would be a nice thing to do after all the years,” he said.

Im not sure if i understand what is happening to Sebring. its off the WEC calendar but I read this week that WEC teams might still come to race anyway? That would be great to see Audi vs toyota there but are they going to justify the trip if its not for points? and if no WEC teams are there then its a 12 hour ALMS race?

Very sad to read this news this morning. My trip to Le Mans in 2007 would not have been possible without her generosity and kindness. I turned up without a clue and Deb gave me a helping hand despite having never met me. I will never forget the experience and how Deb played a huge part in making it possible. I think about her every time I go to a race and will always remember her as the first person to introduce me to Le Mans and this great tradition. I am sad that I havent made it back since 2007 to reconnect and share a drink with you two.

My condolences to you and yours. Deb is in my thoughts and prayers

@ fran

yes its a few layers of different paint, then a layer of the paint pens and markers/mops for the text then a thin layer of white to obscure it and the cars on top of that.
