They tried something like that at Spa a couple of years ago - complete fiasco, resulted in me spending considerably less at the track. Don't think I was alone - they didn't last long.

Fingers crossed someone works out that this is a terrible idea and that actually regarding cash as a sound medium of exchange has been long running for a reason.

At a lot of cycling races in Belgium they use a token system which you need to pay for and then exchange for food/beer.

Very good for causing two queues instead of one and, as Ian said, probably meaning you keep your money in your pocket.

But none of this is actually confirmed yet for Le Mans is it?

Actually, I don't know but I habe to call them to tell them about my disappointment due to the places I got last year. Maybe i'll get the date?

vincegail · 1 Oct 2015, 07:22 (Ref:3578532)

Nürburgring had such a system too. I believe there was an anti-group on Facebook.

Just renewed my passion gold membership, was thinking about not doing it but will give it one last try to get decent tickets for next year.
Now just have to find out when sales will begin, Eric as soon as you find out please let us know.

Thanks Eric.

I'm possibly not going to be going to this year's Le Mans. Due to a operation which I'm having in April 2016 on my jaw. Nothing serious but there's a lot of recovery time. I will see if I can have the date moved sneaky to February. Just so I can go. But if I can't it doesn't matter as there's always next year to have my third visit. I will keep everyone updated.

Hope you can rearrange things, otherwise the lack of things to look forward to will make time drag slowly in 2016

We are thinking of booking tickets for one of the F1 or WEC races (Hopefully COTA or Petit Le Mans) later in the year. So it's all fine.

**Aysedasi** · 4 Oct 2015, 17:38 (Ref:3579517)

Did he say 'F1'........?

GT6 · 5 Oct 2015, 11:13 (Ref:3579682)

Ah that is OK i would love to see those boats at full pelt

CTD · 6 Oct 2015, 20:51 (Ref:3580078)

Deposit just paid to Kenn.
So one step closer to Le Mans

that's sad news. I ate there the Monday after the race but sadly I was the only one in the restaurant. The food and service was excellent and hoped to go back there again in the future. I wish I had taken more pictures of the inside of the restaurant as it was magnificent.

S griffin · 9 Oct 2015, 12:55 (Ref:3580774)

My brother will be going with his missus' father and a few mates. My Dad went there in 05

Hey, newbie here.

I'm planning to attend my first Le Mans in 2016, having followed the race for several years. I still need to convince someone to travel with me, but I'm 90% sure I'll be there.

Can't wait!

It can't be that hard to convince someone

.
Otherwise, back in 2012, when I did my first trip, I travelled alone. Didn't take long, then I knew a whole lot of people

And welcome to the Forum!

GT6 · 12 Oct 2015, 09:39 (Ref:3582097)

yes welcome to the forum Piritos, your first trip will be amazing and if you need any help post here and you will get plenty of help,

GT6 · 12 Oct 2015, 12:43 (Ref:3582145)

might not have booked my le mans camping yet but just booked the usual travellodge for silverstone next year

Piritos · 12 Oct 2015, 18:32 (Ref:3582236)

Thank you for the nice welcome.

Actually it's quite hard to convince someone to come with me... I don't have many friends who love motorsports (I'm a girl and mostly have female friends

), and those who do only like F1.
There are some people who might be interested but they say it's too expensive for them, which I can understand. If you're not a real fan, going to Le Mans just for the sake of it is really expensive for an average Hungarian person... (wages and prices are much lower here than in Western Europe.)

Anyway, I'll be there next year, even if I have to travel alone.

I'm sure I can meet some nice people there.

GT6 · 12 Oct 2015, 19:13 (Ref:3582255)

Well the first thing for you to sort out is where you are staying, many on here have had first timers staying with them on the campsites, we usually have a mixed site (male/female) but my daughter might be missing next year (first time in many years) as her new school needs teachers to be present, however we will have several other females within our group, Ken has a more organised group of international guests but not sure of the mix. If you are on your own let me know nearer the time and i am sure we can sort something out, as long as we get our camping passes this year. However do not worry something will get sorted it always does.
