Darn, I missed that - Simon very nearly incurred a forum infraction there!

I do predict some rain in June during Le Mans week.
Over my home city back in Romania. While I'm away. I'm taking the sunny weather with me and bringing it to the race. |

If the ACO agrees I will once again be at old poste 61 (zone 16-17). Trying to figure out how we will get bread and other key comestibles with the shut roads and additional sessions on Thursday... Anybody got a bicycle I can borrow?

Final piece of the puzzle in place, TGV tickets booked. 302 kph on rail (seen on GPS back in 2015), surely my favorite part of the trip to the race.

So after two years of pain watching at home, I'm going this year.
Although lack of holiday means I'm travelling from Germany on Friday afternoon, staying in Strasbourg and then to Le Mans on Saturday – up all night then train back to Strasbourg Sunday evening and onwards on Monday. Kinda old school I guess. All rail travel booked for 140€ return, pretty decent. |

Enjoy the trip, there's something totally magical about the first encounter with the track in the flesh, sights that in subsequent view become mundane are transcendental at first encounter - take the time to relish - it's worth it. |

Bonjour a tous!
I think is my fifth message in the forum and as it has to be the special one, I confirm that I will be in this edition of Le Mans! Now I have to arrange everything from Scratch. First things first, I bought the camping "allowance" so I will arrive to Le Sarthe on Monday or Tuesday, it depends on who can help me with a tent o something. I am travelling this month around Europe for the first time and I am following my Idol José MarÃ*a "Pechito" López. Well having said almost everything, I ask you if you know someone that needs a partner to share costs and so. Of course I will be on Saturday´s meeting See you in LM 2017! |

Newbie question:
I have grand stand tickets for le mans and I imagine that the stands will be full at the beggining and end of the race. However during the middle of the race, when people start moving around the track, is it possible to access other grand stands, even if you do not have tickets for them? |

During the race you can only use the grandstand seat that's listed on your ticket. Maybe at night you can sneak into an empty grandstand if nobody is watching, but otherwise your grandstand ticket gets checked in general.

I see, thought they would be a bit lenient when the grand stands are not filled up.
Cheers for the reply. |

However all the stands are open to all during the practice/qualifying sessions earlier in the week.
