Don't worry. We 'bumped into' Le Tour on our way back in 2008 somewhere in the Swiss Normandie. We watched the riders and support crews go through and then followed the last car through the village. We were only held up for a few minutes.

Just had this from the ACO

For LE MANS CLASSIC'S 10th edition (July, 6th & 8th 2012), the ticket office is open to the general public. For you, ACO members*, a pre-sale period is organized for more than a month until January, 31st 2012 to allow you to benefit from special reductions on  grandstand tickets and access to the paddock.
Take advantage of it without waiting: the paddock ticket is FREE for any general entrance ticket bought (at member price) before February, 1st 2012. Also the ACO grandstands will count only €15, instead of €20 after the pre-sale period (and €40 for general public).
Finally, please note that the ACO members benefit from a significant reduction on the general entrance ticket : €45 instead of €59, that is €14 discount!

Probably not going myself, and I don't know if the number of tickets is capped, but happy to get some cheap tickets for people if they want. Would need cash before credit card comes through though. PM me if interested.

Hmm, I got this too.  Advanced bookings not going as well as they had hoped, perhaps?

(About time they shelled out for a better translator than Google!)

Just ordered for the Classic. MB was not availbel online, so BN needs to do it.

All of you a merry christmas and a happy new year. Let's hope FIA doesn't f*ck up our beloved sports with that WEC thingy in 2012...

Cheers

Nice to see the usual suspects will be there and a few first timers. Looking forward to seeing the little Elva GT160 featured in this months C&SC magazine.

That said, Plateux 5 is looking a little sparse. Its my favourite era too.

Only one 917, which is a shame.
Have they been breaking them in other classic races?
