Bearing in mind the price of a membership and no race to attend.....

Yes i think they should do that, but think they are to busy worrying about whether they have enough marshals and if the government will force them to cancel

Now that is not a nice thing to say Andrew, we might be warm and dry but those poor sods at the circuit will not be so lucky.

Well, there will be a lot less poor sods there than usual..... No, I don't really want it to lash down for the sake of the teams and the marshals in particular, but a sharp shower or two might spice things up a bit - and keep the ByKolles engine cool......

i probably think the same but refrain from saying it out of respect for the marshals

At least they get to be there and see the race, pretty decent compensation in my mind.....

Yes that is a point, let us just hope enough of them have the same idea, otherwise the race will not happen

I don't see the race failing to happen for lack of marshals....

Without the minimum number it will not happen, that is the law

They'll have enough.... I guarantee it. Of all the reasons that it could not happen, that is the least of the concerns, in my opinion. Can you imagine how stupid the ACO would look if the world's greatest race couldn't happen because of a lack of marshals? No, they'll make sure they have enough.

I'll have a fiver with you Simon that they won't cancel the 24 Heures du Mans due to a lack of marshals.....

I think if could be one/part of the problems they will face, with the news coming from france at the moment about the increase in the rate of the virus and politicians jumping to be seen doing something, nothing is certain at the moment

That much is true, as a contributory factor, perhaps....

I think this is the main reason that Andrew's Fiver is safe. Every marshal in France must surely be super keen to attend just to watch the race, I'm sure that their friends will also be contacting them asking if they can a place on the crew for that same reason.

i am sure you are right, but you must remember that a large percentage of those marshals are not young and camping in June is very dfferent to camping towards the end of september, and many will not want to travel and plqce themselves at risk. With no overseas marshals and other factors you can see why the ACO are having trouble getting enough marshals, they need at least a thousand for the whole course.

They're a dedicated lot. For most, the lure of being one of the few at Le Mans this year will be considerable...
