LM 2022 - Spotters Guide
« on: May 27, 2022, 03:49:28 pm »
Hi all - hope you are all set for the forthcoming shindig  ;D

Anyone have info on a spotters guide, for this year?

I'm looking around but, unless it's a general entry list, I can't find anything worthy of the name  :(

Any assistance would be gratefully received  :)

I'm guessing the program is your best bet if you are going.
Of course I buy green cars, my Aston is green, my MGB is green, my Disco Sport is green,  oh, that's not what you meant by green?

I believe that Andy Blackmoor stopped doing his excellent spotters guide due to a lack of cooperation from the ACO.
Regrettable loss.

What a shame.  And it need photos from the practice day, which is too late now.

I'll cope, because I'm never quite sure what's happening.  I buy a program every year, but most are still in the wrappers because of the guides, so they're more valuable now  ;D

Hopefully this will help you guys

This is the first version of my Spotter Guide to this year’s Le Mans 24-hour race. The pictures shown are lower resolution screen grabs. If you want better a quality for printing, I include a link to a higher resolution version as a pdf file via Dropbox.

PDF LINK HERE v3: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hcqr06gbentaqrr/LM%2022%20v4.pdf?dl=0&fbclid=IwAR3nHd-2W2a9Bgqvp3ceoUnJVukZRiDfY6urpZWztuPiVO1MkntpBVoPSDA

I will continue to make updates when changes emerge. Keep checking right up to the Saturday morning before the race, if you want the best and most ‘correct’ information.
If you are going there, you will find that the included programme is not complete with regards to local events, so you have to check it out once you are there.
Have a good time and safe journeys.
Many thanks to my friend, Rick Buurman for years of help.
If you have found the guide helpful, you may want to consider donating a bit to Ayrshire Cancer Support, which is a local voluntary organization helping cancer patients and their families in my local area.

Thanks for the updates on Spotters Guide availability, Club members.  On a similar theme; what’s the news on the annual Autosport Preview Guide, please, anyone know?  While the shops seemed to be shut for some unaccountable reason yesterday on the usual Thursday it’s published, the cover shown on the website doesn’t have the usual “Ultimate Guide to…” banner.

I’d forgotten how dismissive of the Autosport Guide CA was, FYI, it came out a week later than usual so too late for those heading for the track in time for FP1.

I was extremely disappointed at NO Ouest France newspaper stands to get a guide at track this year

Even longer - it took me 4 months to find this post......   ;)

If you need help with your 'loss', I can probably sort it for you.
