Club Arnage / General Discussion / Re: LM24 Entry List

Wow, 6 Porsches in the hypercar-class, 7 if the reserve from Proton makes it!
If Porsche can get it built in time then the common thinking is that either the LMGT3 or LMP2 from Proton will get sacrificed to get it into the race.

Club Arnage / General Discussion / Re: Le Mans 2023 - How was it for you?

For me there just seemed too many people inside the main circuit and other members of our group felt the same, my wife has limited walking ability and even with a stick many people were just plain rude and inconsiderate tbh, with the volumes inside the circuit that made life difficult for us, but heyho I get it was the centenary and numbers will drop off over the next few years. Missed our Blanc parking but we had both Expo and Panorama, tried both, Expo was probably the easier walk. We had Mulsanne camping as usual, just for a R&R location only real camping is on race night. Interestingly numbers at Mulsanne seemed no different to normal to me, maybe a few up but not so bad. Getting from Expo to Mulsanne was a doddle going via Ruaudin three hours in to the race. We made the decision to watch the end from Mulsanne rather than returning to our grandstand, and tbh I quite enjoyed it. We bought most of our merchandise on arrival on the 1st June so got most of what we wanted, trying to buy at the circuit was chaos, managed to pick up the last two of the poster tshirts in large on Friday 16th at the museum just before coming home! Got checked by security at Mulsanne camping for glass on our first visit, they didn't find the bottles as it was only a cursory look, we did find it amusing that bottles were banned but there was a glass recycling bin on the campsite Being able to get our ACO wristbands at the Pesage was a plus point. Race was great Safety Cars not so, but that's just a personal opinion. A really big plus for me was the variety of engine noises, must have really confused the F1 fans in the crowd

As far as the ones I have used, yes, all entrances are open. ACO Grandstand is open, and quite a few of the others, including Dunlop(Goodyear). Not sure on Parking, a reasonable amount will be open I'm sure Arnage & Mulsanne are open, they are usually my first port of call on test day morning. RLM hasn't broadcasted on FM in the past, but they will be available over the interweb.
In past years test day has been a nice relaxed way of getting a first view of the cars, probably better than the race week practice sessions IMHO.

I would never go to a concert to watch cars race, so why would I go to a race meeting to watch a concert It wouldn't bother me if there weren't any concerts at all.

I think it will be a case of some (alleged) diehards not returning, but also some new ones will be created.
Obviously next years crowd will be back to around recent numbers, although with extra brands in HyperCar and the switch to GT3 (boo) might bring some new fans or retain those that are new this year.
It would be interesting to know if there has been / will be an increase in ACO members, with the earlier onsale option for members it was certainly an extra benefit of being a member for this years race.
One thing is certain, well as certain as it can be, there will be a race next year.

Congrats! It sounds like there are still the odd few tickets not getting paid for and so returning for general sale, I guess you were lucky to be on a list of members with a Members Area Pass and at or near the top!

As per other people looking for any spare GE's. Two epinettes camping and aco members area access passes already bought and as per every other year we'll get the ge's later (Well that's worked out well for us)
Have you tried contacting the ticket office? As a member I had an email before Christmas that said;- "If you have reserved Members Area passes but have not purchased tickets, please contact our ticket office as it reopens in 9 January".
