Not bothered about the pit walk this year, the queue and wait last year was silly, so leaving tickets until closer to the time, hoping for a discount code

I bought my ticket the day they went on sale and for the first year for 3 years, I didn't get a pitwalk ticket, so I don't know if they were on offer anyway. In any event, I'm not interested in that wait and crush so I would have given it away (as I've done for the past 2 years).

There are always a lot of people who want to do a pitwalk, particularly if it's for free.

It’s only worth it if it’s properly organised. Being free helps though

Pit lane viewings are always chaotic with hundreds of people always wanting to look into some garages while others are quite sparse, Silverstone tried to limit the amount of people but it just meant massive waits and then still difficult to see anything, will not bother doing it again. Le mans on friday is always open much longer and therefore everyone gets a chance

They do need to form an orderly queue at times. Sometimes it just ain’t worth it, as you guys said

Good luck with the pitwalk at Silverstone. It will probably be as crowdy as in Spa thanks to a certain mr. Freddy A. driving for Toyota.

Plus for Button will be there , so 99% of the people on the pit walk will be around those two garages and the rest will have lots of space to look round the rest.

Was it an autograph session during the pit walk at Spa? That always causes issues of some people trying to take photos of the cars and some wanting autographs

Button being there, will that make a difference? Being an ex F1 driver might add to it. It probably will be different. I think the drivers are the main stars in this series. They seem to be the main draw at times

For the casual fans and those who only go to local races then yes the big ex F! names are always going to be a magnet, but hard core WEC fans are i am sure more interested in the cars

Again, I don't follow, as Simon indicated, for many WEC fans, the cars are what it's all about.

The cars are the stars, i think there was a program called that.

For me any way i go to motor racing to see, hear and smell the cars, not the drivers

Some really important info here for anyone attending Le Mans: the World Cup timings!

I know the vast majority of the forum are big footie fans so it's definitely worth making a note of these. And don't worry guys - you will be able to watch Egypt vs Uruguay in the village. Phew.

I couldn't find any of the Holland games on there though?

Never understand why people would drive hundreds of miles to watch a motor race then watch 22 overpaid actors pretend they were hurt when someone touches them, and on very rare occasions kick an inflated pigs bladder around a lawn.
