Watched the entire race which I really enjoyed. Felt a bit sorry for Peugeot. BoP needs a few tweaks but they do have a couple of races before the big one to tinker with it. I was also a bit surprised by BMW's showing, but they had a slow start in IMSA last year and although it's not a brand new car, it's a new team, new driver line ups on different tyres, so it will be interesting to see how they go at Imola. That Lambo looks stunning! Very glad I have tickets for LM, should be a cracking race.

Club Arnage / General Discussion / Re: Let's talk about the revised Safety Car procedure for 2024?

Not a great fan of safety cars at LM, seen to many races ruined by them, the year the Pink Pig won, 3 of the 4 classes were basically over before half way due to safety car interventions and insurmountable time gaps when the race resumed. The cars are far to reliable these days, if a lap or even 3 minutes is lost it is very difficult to make that up. I much prefer full course yellows. I appreciate that some issues require the safety car to provide gaps in the traffic, however I think more situations could be covered by a FCY, especially if severe penalties were dished out to drivers taking the p*ss. I would almost prefer to see the race red flagged, the cars pulled into the pits and then, on resumption, released in the order and time gaps than the vagaries of a SC.

Belated Happy Christmas and I hope everybody has a great New Year. As last year's race was the best one I have seen in 20 years, I hope that with the addition of new teams and the experience gained by this years newbies that 2024 will be even better. My tip for the win would be Porsche, but not necessarily one of the factory cars! The days are finally getting longer, the countdown begins.

Club Arnage / General Discussion / Re: No barcodes on GA ticket
|

Surprise, surprise, I received an email from the ACO a couple of hours ago telling me to reprint my ticket to include the barcode!
As this has happened 2 years running I'm beginning to wonder if this a security issue, making sure all payments have cleared and are above board before allowing you to print a valid ticket. Seems a bit clever for the ACO though!

Club Arnage / General Discussion / No barcodes on GA ticket
|

If you, like I did, printed off your GA tickets as soon as you bought them on members release, you may not have noticed that they have no barcode or QR code on them. I've just gone into my account and reprinted the tickets in my basket which now have both codes on them. I think this happened last year as well.

Club Arnage / General Discussion / ETIAS delayed again.

Title says it all. Delayed to Q2 2025. I'm not holding my breath, this is about the 4th delay of its introduction. If I didn't know better I'd suggest the ACO were organizing it!

Club Arnage / Help / Entrance/access Arnage camping/spectator banking

Has anybody camped recently at Arnage? To access Arnage viewing area do you have to leave camping by the main entrance/exit and use the main entrance into the viewing area? Or is there another entrance to the viewing area further into the campsite?

They could of course make these campsites a lot more popular if the built a viewing area along the Mulsanne which the public could use with a GA ticket. Say in that field under where it says Poste 10Bis. But would be far to sensible for the ACO.
Just noticed there's a Thai restaurant off the Mulsanne. Anybody ever tried it?

Arnage!
Great place to be and there's always the shuttle buses for trips to get to MB>Tetre Rouge area Will probably confine myself to Arnage and Mulsanne. Haven't done these areas for years, need to make amends. Suits my mobility issues as no long walks and saves me the outrageous cost of T17 which is about the only place I could base myself in the main straight area. Bit tired of watching cars going in a straight line!!!! ACO's promises of providing an inclusive experience for people with disabilities was an absolute disaster, no shuttles from one of the disabled car parks and a very patchy service from the disabled car park near the tram station, they left several people stranded during the weekend.

By the time you find some passes your thrown out ridiculous
Odd, got my camping & GA, went back to look at something else, got timed out but it left me in the sales section, didn't throw me out. And yes, I did cave in and decide to go. But I came up with a cunning plan which meant that I didn't need a Tribune ticket to cover my mobility issues or be on one of the expensive campsites!
