LM24 OK, So What Do We Talk About Between Last Year's Le Mans and Next Year's.....? - Page 112

Under normal circumstances all my LM stuff is waiting to be packed in the car and for the first time in years my concerns for the weather would be nothing to bother about, because next weeks weather in LM is absolutely perfect.
Pfffffffffff.

Yep, it's funny you say that as I've been in that LM 'mood' myself for the last couple of days. Thinking about getting ready to go at the weekend. I've been updating a couple of my old 'stories' on my website and it kind of gets you thinking about what you'd really like to be doing....

Anyone else going to be at Thruxton on Saturday?

Sean

Truckosaurus · 8 Jun 2021, 09:41 (Ref:4055269)

Yes, I shall be there, and also Sunday.

**Peter Mallett** · 8 Jun 2021, 12:32 (Ref:4055286)

We are there Sunday although may hang around the paddock on Saturday.

dwh43scale · 8 Jun 2021, 19:09 (Ref:4055336)

There both days; camera in hand and with the Alfa Romeo Owners Club.

ACO sent me a mail regarding my membership renewal. Will renew, although not much profit has been had this year being a member. But I did ask them where my 2020 membership gadget package is. Still not received any. Did you guys receive one, or not?

**Peter Mallett** · 15 Jun 2021, 10:23 (Ref:4056495)

Not.

GT6 · 15 Jun 2021, 10:50 (Ref:4056498)

no had nothing for the 2020 year, but like Vince i got an email telling me my membership runs out at the end of the month, so it is strongly likely that my last two years membership have been a bit of a waste of money.

No.

I doubt ACO will make our membership from last year worthwhile, have to renew in juli.

GT6 · 15 Jun 2021, 19:13 (Ref:4056573)

Yep they are asking me to pay again so next year if i pay again and get to go it will be 3 years aco membership for discount on one years entry.

vincegail · 22 Jul 2021, 09:00 (Ref:4062632)

I asked Catherine from the Tourist Office when she will transfer my refund, and she replied that she had not received it yet from the ACO. Seems like ACO is hoarding income from this year to fill the financial hole from last year. Ponzi alert! All kidding aside, this is not good.

**bella** · 22 Jul 2021, 09:20 (Ref:4062634)

it's not good for you, but being realistic, it's a bit like everybody expecting to get a cash refund from their airlines at once - no business has that big a percentage of their income available as cash on hand. an event like le mans 24 that relies on early spectator pre-sales to pay for the next year's suppliers, insurances and so on is going to be working on a minimal amount of available cash.

i suspect that's the real reason for a lot of attractions and distractions not being available - with a reduced spectator number and increased checks and facilities like testing they just don't have the money to put on any form of big attractions. particularly after the closed doors event last year.

here's hoping they send you your money soon.

vincegail · 22 Jul 2021, 09:23 (Ref:4062635)

The "this is not good" part alluded to the fact that the ACO is in dire straits. I already spent that money in november 2019, so the only problem I have is that I didn't get to attend last year's race. Financially I can cope. I just hope the ACO will too!

No electrcity on the campsites. So to keep beers fresh could be a challenge!

I'll manage

Simmi · 30 Jul 2021, 14:06 (Ref:4063981)

Is there a new Aldi store by Decathlon now? Was that there before? And also a new alcohol (off-license) store nearby? I think I read that on another forum.

vincegail · 31 Jul 2021, 09:44 (Ref:4064111)

There is a new supermarket Auchan in the Family Village on the Hunaudieres straight, don't know about an Aldi

(Moved from Vince's ticket thread which is for ticket sales only).

whitemr2 · 3 Aug 2021, 08:40 (Ref:4065045)

Thoughts on the new entrance?

GT6 · 3 Aug 2021, 09:34 (Ref:4065057)

Nice and bright but a little over the top IMHO

Truckosaurus · 3 Aug 2021, 09:41 (Ref:4065060)

Shame the new corporate colours are red and blue not the traditional blue and yellow.

Simmi · 3 Aug 2021, 12:55 (Ref:4065098)

As long as they let us in I don't mind what colour it is

whitemr2 · 4 Aug 2021, 18:49 (Ref:4065348)

Cause this year is different I have parking rouge. In a normal year my car is safe on the campsite, this year however, I don't know if I should bring my '95 GT2 winner or simply take my daily driver. Question is: anyone used this parking before, how safe is it, would you park your previous car there?

GT6 · 4 Aug 2021, 18:56 (Ref:4065350)

i thought you were leaving the nsx at home this year? Due to taking the other half
