Thanks Eric.

Yes, a marshal's guest ticket. The marshals ticket would say 'Commissaire de piste'. The 'chef de poste' would determine where the guest could go and where to spectate from.

Cool score!

Yeah, I thought so. I'm surprised I've not seen one before.

There's probably not a lot of those floating around, compared to GA ones. Most will end up in shoe boxes anyway I guess.

Coach Ep · 11 Dec 2022, 13:59 (Ref:4136789)

I'm pretty sure I still have the letter + envelop from '98, my first time I was invited to marshal the event. Question is which storage box...

**Aysedasi** · 11 Dec 2022, 15:24 (Ref:4136791)

Ah well, if you ever clear out your shoe box and find anything interesting, let me know!

Simmi · 11 Dec 2022, 21:14 (Ref:4136812)

Equally if anyone has any old boxes full of autograph cards, promo stuff, stickers and such like they're trying to get rid of (especially if it's from 2011 onwards) hit me up and might be able to work something out.

The design you've posted was replaced by a plastic pass that could be attached to a lanyard more than 20 years ago.
You've have had one in your line of sight round my neck each year for most of that time, up until 2019. Sorry I seem to have thrown them all away, so can't post a sample

Interesting that the 2024 event will have a new auto invite from GTWCE. It will be a Bronze Cup team - can't see all the info due to paywall but the first GT3-based invite and stretching across to a different series is notable. Good to see the SRO relationships strengthening.

Good to see teams from there rewarded for their hard work and success

I'm not intelligent enough to work through all the scenarios here as to how it will play out. The position of class leaders is going to be really key I think. While they aren't giving free laps back IMSA-style - there certainly will be instances where cars about to go a lap down will essentially get their whole lap back, due to the wave-by and then the merge.

Also think there's large potential for things to go wrong initially. And clearly it's going to add a fair chunk of time on to safety cars.

Welcome to the dark(er) side of convergence.

At a circuit as long as la Sarthe, every procedure's flaws are magnified. Therefore, it's baffling that the proposed solution will take the longest to implement, to the point that it won't happen in the last hour.

If this is the ACO's way of keeping balance between entertainment and sporting integrity, they need a new set of scales.

NB The safety car 'overhaul' now has a dedicated thread.

Does the Archimede car art site sell at any physical shops in Le Mans? - normally has a stall at St Saturnin and got the licensed 24 hour mugs with all the winning cars last year.

I was also thinking of getting a Spurring book for the early races - are these books worthwhile?

Very worthwhile, brilliant photos, the conditions they raced in during the 1920s make you wonder how they suevived

**Adam43** · 6 Apr 2023, 00:53 (Ref:4150567)

I agree. I’ve got the set. Only bought it relatively recently, within the last three years or so. Hunted round and got them one by one when bargains came up. Was a little hobby for a bit.

Anyway. The 1923-29 one is a good one. I think that is the one I’ve read the most of. I can be guilty of not reading all of a book like these, but this is very interesting and worth it.

S griffin · 6 Apr 2023, 07:48 (Ref:4150587)

I've heard good things about those books. Obviously it seems to be a must for LM fans. Although you really have to hunt to find them

Any interesting features from the early days? Or any of the other books for that matter? I'm not sure I would have the time to read them, a flick through if I'm lucky

**Aysedasi** · 6 Apr 2023, 08:43 (Ref:4150596)

I have the 80's and 90's Spurring books. Very good quality. Nice photographs and very readable race summaries etc.

J Jay · 6 Apr 2023, 16:03 (Ref:4150650)

Speaking of books, does anyone have experience with Porter Press? They've published a book on the Audi R8 and I'm leaning towards purchasing it. I've never bought from them or read anything from the author (Ian Wagstaff) before, so opinions are appreciated.

I just found this on LinkedIn. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ross-...member_android

Evro Publishing still has them all in stock.
They are in my opinion the best historical motor racing books ever published.
Absolutely worthwhile.Actually absolutely essential.
The 2 21st century volumes are in the pipeline although delayed.After Quentin retired from writing them they have had troubles getting them completed to the standard he set.

My understanding is that the first volume (2000-2009) will be published towards the end of the year to avoid any clash with the centenary and the second volume is scheduled for next year.
