The 5000 limit is for indoor events only.

Quite correct Barry, but now superseded by a ban on all gatherings of over 1000 people in France.
We shall have to wait and see how long that lasts.

Cost me €41 euros, but I'm open to offers from friends on this forum.
It's an e-ticket, so I can email it to you in pdf form.

Oh no! such sad news.
Rex was a really kind and gentle guy. I missed seeing him at Le Mans last year and was unaware of the loss of Julia.
RIP Rex, irreplaceable.

Is there a fine if, theoretically, one was to be foolish enough to accidentally  fill a mineral water bottle with say a clear alcoholic liquor such as vodka and take it into the circuit. And get caught.

There's no question of a fine Andy.
 Worst scenario is that the bottle is refused entry to the circuit. But, in practice,  the check is for glass bottles or labelled  alcoholic drinks.
Of course this is an entirely hypothetical situation.

Beer was 8 Euros plus 1 for the mug yesterday at the circuit!

The ACO has had a single caterer agreement for many years now. It's the same franchisee as operates at the French Tennis Open, so Wimbledon prices, no surprise.
I think beer and other drinks are slightly cheaper at the ACO grandstand bar and the members' area at la Chapelle.

Yes, what Geoff said.
Until the big digital change at the ACO you could order your campsite and tickets at the circuit for the following year.
Not any more.

GDPR only applies to companies with more than 250 employees.
I don't see how it would apply to CA.

Bloody hell, Midnight!
The guys next to me on Houx started their Wednesday night party at 2.00 am Thursday.
I just put the earplugs in and drifted off.

Help / Re: ACO membership

I joined up last week. How long does it take for them to send out the membership cards? Can they be collected anywhere at the circuit if they don't arrive in time (e.g. Rotunda??).

I note it still says on the website it is still not too late to join the club for this years race (Sunday prior). I can't see that being the case.

Cheers

You can deal with that at the ACO members' welcome area on the inside of the circuit near the Dunlop bridge.
