Sell Or Swap / EXCELLENT HOTEL ROOM AVAILABLE, near Cathedral, walk to Drivers Parade!

« Last post by apexdc on June 03, 2025, 09:13:57 pm »

Due to a family emergency, we have had to cancel plans to go to this years Le Mans. It is a very nice hotel around a half kilometre from the downtown Cathedral, a few minutes walk to the Drivers Parade!  

The price shown below is Eric’s price. If you are interested, contact him at eric@moxie.racing or me. David Christian, at duczupa@gmail.com.

Also, there seem to be General Admission tickets available on the ACO resale web site. They come and go pretty rapidly.

 
This is the hotel:  https://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/du-marquis-de-broc.html?checkin=2025-06-10&checkout=2025-06-12&group_adults=2&req_adults=2&no_rooms=1&group_children=0&req_children=0

Sell Or Swap / Re: Confused: looking for weekend GA’s to buy, have week GA’s and Tribs to sell

« Last post by apexdc on June 03, 2025, 07:13:11 pm »

So, as it seems to be all over the shop this year with the new app and approach… I have questions (and possibly some good news for someone!)


Another friend wants to come for the first time BUT can’t travel till Friday.

Any advice? Ideally looking to buy 2 weekend GA’s and sell 2 week-long GA’s and Tribs bought as ACO members…

I just confirmed today that the ACO is out of General Admission tickets. BUT, they are currently availble on the resale site.   We just had to cancel out trip, but may have hotel available for Friday to Monday. Good location downtown Le Mans, I think. I am confirming details.

UPDATED*

Also posted on 10 Tenths and PistonHeads.

Evening All, for various reasons my usual crew have decided to shelve this year's trip. I'm keen to sell our tickets rather than cancel the order as we will probably lose the allocation for next year.

We have:
1 Houx campsite pass £150.

8 General Admission Tickets £90 each.

Physical tickets, will sell individually.


I am now in possession of all the tickets.

Cheers

Nick

Sell Or Swap / Fridge

Wow great to see so many old names here, real windback to the great trips 20 years ago. Well the ACO have finished it for me so having a clear out, if anybody on CA can use this mini fridge you are welcome to it, you just need to pick it up from Highcliffe. Free to CA members.

QR codes have appeared on my ticket app, whatever that means.
My app shows my members area pass, my son’s doesn’t show his?! and there is no sign of the 2 guest passes that we purchased.
For the past few years you have been able to collect wristbands at either the La Chapelle area, or the ACO building on the start finish straight.

Our group will be having a toast to 1955, but specially for our own lost companion (Probably at Tertre Rouge) bar 18.36 on Wednesday 11th.

Roger Vernon Price was at the 1955 event and only moved away from the circuit to re-load some camera film preventing him from being in the firing line!
He sadly passed away on 6th April this year after a long fight with bowel cancer, aged 88.
I knew him for many years at the end of his life but he had never returned to LM after 1955!

He was featured in the book, Le Mans Winning Colours after I interviewed him for Mick Hill.

His favourite beer Doombar and favourite snack, penguins all round for us!

Probably not Barry. The ACO don’t seem to want it remembered. Sees it only warrants a tiny plaque on the pit straight wall

That's what I understood and expected.
Shame especially as most of the people killed were locals.
