SOLD !

If you cannot get any of this site, try the ACO Office in the Rotunda building on the Expo Park.   I believe that they sometimes get spare tickets returned for re-selling.

Have a good race.

How the hell do you attach photos onto your messages ?

I have tried a few times and always failed.

Do I have to be a fully paid up computer geek or am I just missing something simple ?

General Discussion / British Eurosport

Anyone know the story about the British Eurosport programme listed in Motoring News this week ?

Friday 6th 08.00 to 09.00

LE MANS PREVIEW

Except that there is no listing on Eurosport itself !

Otherwise there seems to be the usual lead up to the race ( I suspect the 1 hour show from the Practice weekend) and approx. 9+ hours over the weekend itself.

Thanks for the imahe Big H !

After visiting the Rotunda last year I can understand what you mean - but is it the quality of the ACO girls, or just that we had been way from home for to long ?

I am waiting for payment to arrive for some spare tickets I have, but if it doesn't arrive in time I will try the ACO myself.

Help / Re:Buying tickets on the day...?

We have been going for the last 10 years
- never had any advance tickets
- always arrive on Saturday
- always got a car parking space
- always got an entrance ticket

Best to get there late morning at the latest to have a chance with the parking.

If you cannot get parked properly then just be considerate - I believe they have tow trucks circulating this year for those who just abandon their cars - 80 euro fee !

Just go and enjoy - it will all work out and get better every year !

Been turning up on Saturday for the last 10 years and always got into a car park somewhere.

Best to turn up as soon as possible, but don't expect to get very close to the track.

Aerodrome is usually O.K.

I have ordered tickets for the first time this year, so will probably get screwed by the ACO organisation !
