Badlands99 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Aysedasi,

I joined the ACO at about the same time as you renewed ............

Also had a couple of email conversations with Lititia who was extremely helpful with temporary cards etc etc but the official card arrived in the post on Saturday so good to go.

Well I'm not getting overly worried. As Simon says, I've had my number since 1997, so they should be able to find me! It's just annoying that it's still not here 34 days after handing over my hard-earned dosh..... I don't really want to come back to it in an envelope after the race.....

Don't worry Andrew i am sure the strip on your card will pick up your current position and you will be able to use it to buy race tickets at the reduced rate and get you into the ACO area's.

Yep, as I say, I'm not worried about it, just annoyed at the poor service.

JJlehto1992 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Hi folks! Greetings from finland (newbie). First time in le mans since -06 when i was a little boy
I have few questions about the race:
1.How early should you go to watch the start. Like early before the warm ups (9.00 am.)? We were thinking about mulsanne corner or the esses.
2. During the race, Arnage and Mulsanne? We got vehicle on our own so transportation is not an issue. Traffic instead might be.

Any advice would be helpful. Hope we all got an epic race and battle between all the manufacturers in lmp and gt-classes.

See you in next week!

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum, if you have a grandstand ticket you can leave it until late to take your seat, if you want to watch on the start finish line then good spots will be full quite edarly, however if you watch the start from just about anywhere else no problem, so you will have time to make the meet at 12.00 in the village.
as for going to the other viewing areas at mulsanne and arnarge, yes traffic is bad and you may need a specific car parking ticket for them. the coaches are free but can also take a long time.

Out of interest, does anyone know what parts of the track are open for pedestrians to actually get on the grey stuff on Friday & what times?

Friday is the hardest day to be certain as the Police shut the track at various points to prevent automotive high-jinx.

On Weds and Thurs they shut the road around lunchtime, but still allow pedestrians and pushbikes around for a bit longer.

I think pedestrians can access the entire track on the Friday.

I that is correct. I have heard and seen people running the entire lap on friday mornings. I'll do that some day when I'm fit.

I didn't know this was possible. I may have to try it (with walking breaks in between spurts of running). Anyone else up for a run?

As I've said quite a few times, don't be put off by 'traffic', it's not so bad if you go at quieter times especially like late at night or early on Sunday morning - but the routes aren't straight forward as certain roads are closed off by the gendarmes. Always best to have a navigator who has done it before.....

i agree it is worth the trip, the straight after mulsanne is amazing as the cars flash past and arnarge when it is dusk or dark is not to be missed, go on wednesday or thursday if you can not go saturday/sunday
