I was told so - but emergency access infield on Saturday and Sunday and capacity didn’t need such drastic changes

Agreed. If that reason was put forward - why now? They could have made these changes years ago. The arrival (return) of prestigious manufacturers and their corporate dosh + the centenary seems to me to be the overwhelming reason, no matter how it's dressed up.

Even without the centenary shenanigans, next year sees Alpins, BMW, Lamborghini and maybe Honda join the party. And hopefully Isotta Fraschini. Not going to be any less busy/bonkers.

Nothing officially booked so far, just wondering if this whole 100 year thing has been over hyped! Find it crazy that the ACO decided to change the ticket allocation for this year with many regulars not being able to get what they wanted. I may just sit back and watch it from a TV somewhere, to be honest its normally for me just an excuse to take the car down to le mans, go the the Great British welcome on the Friday morning and pop over to the hotel De France. I think there's a race on somewhere too?

I'm aware it's a very broad, but also very niche audience of race goers they're catering for - but yeah couldn't they have booked someone better - especially for the Friday slot.
Just comes down to cash I guess. |

And according to the rules there are between 1 and 2000 winners, who should be able to buy two tickets. That's a reasonable amount considering they are sold out....

Ya, 1-2000 is a pretty wide spread. Don't they know how many tickets they have? Seems a little strange.

No, I think it means that there is a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 2000, if, say, only 453 members enter the draw then they will all win and there will only be 453 winners.
Anyway, we'll get a slap soon for wandering off topic! |

Indeed. I've moved the discussion as Vincent has posted the draw info here as well.

Just received an e mail about the official ticket reselling and buying facility set up by the ACO.
https://trailer.web-view.net/Show/0X...491EAE6318.htm Also just paid the balance on my ferry booking this morning. |

There's nothing on there. And there won't be until people put up unwanted tickets. If there's nothing on there I can't see it having much, if anything. It has of course been up for over two weeks and I think I've seen 2-3 week entry tickets and 3-4 Beausejour camping in that time. |

Fun and games trying to sort a minor change on eurotunnel through agent. Thought all sorted a month or so ago! At least we’ve got rid of a Fiat Panda with a roof box that none of us had ever seen.
Anywhere good for breakfast 30 mins or so from tunnel heading in right way towards A16? Does the place in Arnage have a branch that way? |

We have shuttle just after 8 for 2 cars but now have annoyingly a 30 wait for 3rd car which amazingly can't fit on its original space so rather than wait at the first Aire after the peage ticket booth/viaduct was hoping for somewhere a bit more relaxing and also it's a 6.30ish start from home and would be good to stop for breakfast. Shame about ferries recently on that front. Do have a nice 1st Quality Air sticker for the little V8. Only place i'd be worried about at Rouen is the Esso station where we occasionally stop to fill up again on way back. |

Breakfast all sorted now before Calais and a sensible Monday return time (semi flexible too) - phone booking 3 cars at a good rate on DFDS very helpful
as agent spaces on P&O all taken - so bye bye Eurotunnel who'd thrown one car on a 20.50pm Monday shuttle two hours or so after original booking time. |
