Thanks for these - very useful. A lot of info in that press kit document.....

Now that we had the test day, is there going to be a dedicated race week thread floating about or is that already covered in an existing thread?

**Aysedasi** · 10 Jun 2018, 05:54 (Ref:3828010)

We'll definitely have one. I'll leave one of the usual suspects to start it...…

Posted this to the TV thread already but just in case

Panis-Barthez P2 will be the first in line shortly

#23 finally made it's way to the technical checkpoint...

This year they've opted for full-on French broadcast from Bruno, without the awkward english transcript on the background... which may or may not be a good thing. Obviously some of the stage intervews will be in english if not native french speakers though

edit: the translator has returned
edit2: and the folks from pre-test day coverage

I love when the stream goes to random local french commercials mid-interview

I do like how this year they show more of the scrutineering process itself, and the interviews are more in the background in sound

Wonderful optimism from Jota/JCDC... "and who knows maybe even overall honors this year"

Now they jump cut away from interview (Ginetta) for another interview (Lapierre)

I mean I get it but how about taping it and showing it between the interviews instead of interrupting interview already in process

Guess you can't complain too much for free stream and also it's not as bad as in the coverage for pre- Test Day, but still. It feels like common sense

Okay this is for the Classic but C'MON I wish the Legends support race still existed for 24 Hours and we saw grid like this for the semi modern cars!!!!! The doom for that race was rotation of same two eras grinded to death for years and years but this would have been exciting to look at

This 'demonstration' even has Stephane Ratel himself with (ex-JLOC????

who knows) Lambo GT1

It will be very exciting!! Le Mans Classic is very exciting itself but with that show...................No words!!

More likely to be a Reiter?

Last year I checked if the pitlane was open on teusday, well it was if you had a pitwalkticket. This year I didn't bother to check and found out it was open whole day to everybody...... Hmmmmmmmmmm. No communication found from ACO damn. Lesson learned, always check.

**Aysedasi** · 12 Jun 2018, 20:42 (Ref:3828733)

Oh my goodness! If they had that field for a support race at the main event, I'd be in heaven..... There's a GT-One on that list!!! And I have to watch a field of Astons instead...….

Deleted · 13 Jun 2018, 07:18 (Ref:3828802)

Mind you even if the Legends race still existed I don't think they'd allow Stephane Ratel in the LM24 paddock proper because of the old fractions and that he's no longer shareholder in the LMS.

Anyway it's kind of a surprising he's managed to collect a field of this size considering most of his 500 former revival series have gathered grids of 5-10 cars, including him in a Venturi or something. So congrats for that. If that wil still be the case after Classic is another thing, but still

edit: It seems that this is actually Patrick Peter thing (also ex LMS of course), but I would be shocked if Ratel didn't have his finger there somewhere

**Aysedasi** · 14 Jun 2018, 08:40 (Ref:3829223)

That's a shame. We just walked in with no-one on the gate. Although they seemed to be marshalling there later in the afternoon.

Came home from Le Mans to find my Silverstone WEC tickets had arrived. Perfect timing

Wish I'd waited now, was too eager to get one especially as there is usually a discount code in the lead up to the race

**Aysedasi** · 21 Jun 2018, 07:55 (Ref:3832272)

I bought mine the day they went on sale. Just like booking my hotel room the day the dates were announced. It's something I just can't resist.......

GT6 · 21 Jun 2018, 11:11 (Ref:3832304)

Tickets turned up yesterday

Truckosaurus · 21 Jun 2018, 11:51 (Ref:3832308)

Order my tickets today, plus a room at the exotic Ramada Milton Keynes (which seems to be located at the Newport Pagnell motorway services).

Slightly complex Silverstone this time round. Accommodation sorted for Saturday and Sunday but looks like trying to get something for Friday night is a bit more complicated than it might be, so timeshifting things a bit, probably come up on the Saturday, catch some of the ELMS round, do the full Sunday, have a decent dinner Sunday night, and then head home Monday.

Promo discount duly applied obviously...

It may be a while. I've left the compo to Pascal and he has more important things to think about at the moment.

For some amongst us, two years after the end of competition
