Under normal circumstances all my LM stuff is waiting to be packed in the car and for the first time in years my concerns for the weather would be nothing to bother about, because next weeks weather in LM is absolutely perfect.
Pfffffffffff.

Yep, it's funny you say that as I've been in that LM 'mood' myself for the last couple of days. Thinking about getting ready to go at the weekend. I've been updating a couple of my old 'stories' on my website and it kind of gets you thinking about what you'd really like to be doing....

ACO sent me a mail regarding my membership renewal. Will renew, although not much profit has been had this year being a member. But I did ask them where my 2020 membership gadget package is. Still not received any. Did you guys receive one, or not?

no had nothing for the 2020 year, but like Vince i got an email telling me my membership runs out at the end of the month, so it is strongly likely that my last two years membership have been a bit of a waste of money.

I doubt ACO will make our membership from last year worthwhile, have to renew in juli.

I asked Catherine from the Tourist Office when she will transfer my refund, and she replied that she had not received it yet from the ACO. Seems like ACO is hoarding income from this year to fill the financial hole from last year. Ponzi alert! All kidding aside, this is not good.

it's not good for you, but being realistic, it's a bit like everybody expecting to get a cash refund from their airlines at once - no business has that big a percentage of their income available as cash on hand. an event like le mans 24 that relies on early spectator pre-sales to pay for the next year's suppliers, insurances and so on is going to be working on a minimal amount of available cash.

i suspect that's the real reason for a lot of attractions and distractions not being available - with a reduced spectator number and increased checks and facilities like testing they just don't have the money to put on any form of big attractions. particularly after the closed doors event last year.

here's hoping they send you your money soon.

The "this is not good" part alluded to the fact that the ACO is in dire straits. I already spent that money in november 2019, so the only problem I have is that I didn't get to attend last year's race. Financially I can cope. I just hope the ACO will too!

No electrcity on the campsites. So to keep beers fresh could be a challenge!

Is there a new Aldi store by Decathlon now? Was that there before? And also a new alcohol (off-license) store nearby? I think I read that on another forum.

There is a new supermarket Auchan in the Family Village on the Hunaudieres straight, don't know about an Aldi

(Moved from Vince's ticket thread which is for ticket sales only).

Cause this year is different I have parking rouge. In a normal year my car is safe on the campsite, this year however, I don't know if I should bring my '95 GT2 winner or simply take my daily driver. Question is: anyone used this parking before, how safe is it, would you park your previous car there?
