Le Mans 2012 Classic Thread

What a mess.

I hope the ticket agency get their act together... mind you, it could be the excuse you need to stay at that fancy hotel you were promising yourself!

Very glum this morning.

Firstly I have discovered over the weekend that my new Alfa Giulia Sprint has had a hard hit on the N/S front suspension at some point in the past. Its going to have to go down to South Wales to be straightened on the jig. They have the only set of body clamps to fit this car in the country and their waiting list means it won't return until well into the new year. So that has pushed not only the timescale, but the budget beyond me being able to get to Le Sarthe next summer. Looks like I'm taking the camper then.

And secondly, I've been buggered about by the ticket agency again and have no MB camping space.
I called them last june and requested an allocation. I called again last month and was told i was very near the top of the list and they would be in touch in the next few weeks when they knew the amount of tickets they were getting from the ACO.
 This morning i got an email saying, 'as we have not heard from you regarding your ticket requirements we have released your allocation and have no more MB available. We do however have camping available on Beasjour and look forward to taking your order'.
Bastards!
Going to call them at 9am and give them holy hell.

Its really taken the shine off my morning.

The Classic website says that ticketing will start in Mid November

What about the group that usually supply the LM24 tickets, do they do Classic?

All MB passes will be sold through agencies and car clubs this time. Theres also a limit on the number of paddock passes too. First come first served basis. Or in my case- afirst come, so what, f*** off basis.

Alfa is worse than i thought. Bulkhead has also moved and the passenger side A post is also back 9mm. Its going to be tough getting it ready for 2013 now.

Harrumph.

Good old Jules saves the day.

So that's ferry booked, tickets and camping sorted. Just need a car now. Alfa won't be anywhere near ready. Mmmmmmmmmmm, there is one option.

Time to do a deal with OPEC I think.

James, bring the Interceptor out to the front door. We're going to France!
