Have a look here.
For € 60 I will probably be a member again, even if it is nearly impossible to get the tickets you want from the ACO. Nowadays you have to fall back on ticket sites to get the tickets you want and you have to pay more fir them then directly through the ACO.

I think it must be - it's almost exactly the same date as last year.

Thanks Ayse.

I've just paid for my trip, camping at the Porsche Curves, which includes general admission. Must say though that I'd like to get into the chicane grandstand at some point in the race. So will get on line as soon as I can.

Which chicane?

If you mean Ford chicane and thus T23 then I recommend not bothering - it's not a great view, it's very cramped and you can get an excellent close-up of the cars up by the fence.

If you mean Dunlop chicane and thus T5 then absolutely go for it - it's a terrific view all the way down to the start-finish straight and up through the esses and under the bridge. Try to get a seat as far back as possible and on the side nearer the start-finish (though tbh the grandstands are only full for a few hours around the start and finish, at other times you can move freely around).

After missing the past couple years, the Mrs. gave me the okay to return again next year!

She'll be joining again too. Found an Air B&B for a good rate in the city center. Plan will be for me to camp Wednesday to Sunday, her on Wednesday and Thursday as well. Apartment isn't booked until Friday, so just about the time she'll be dying for a shower we'll have access to that. I'll likely use it the Friday night to get a proper sleep, but the rest of the time you'll find me with Kenn at the International Camp.

Can't wait to be back!

I'll be there again next year camping on the international camp, only difference will be the longer travel from Leeds instead of Northampton (yes I realise that is nothing compared to some people ).

See you all in June, or sooner!

In roulette you have a faint chance of winning, but with the ACO you have a faint chance of getting a minor price if you are very lucky

I have to disagree, to some extent, with your assessment of those two tribunes. Raccordement is indeed cramped, and because there are no seat backs, not a stand that's particularly comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. However, the view of the track from there is, in my opinion, outstanding, from the entry to the Ford Chicane all the way up to the beginning of the Dunlop Curve. There's always plenty of incident through the Ford Chicane and at the start of the Pit Straight, and because it sits opposite pit entry, it is easy to follow who's pitting when, which means you can follow most of what's happening in the race without relying on big screens (although there is a big screen opposite) and RLM to tell you what's going on. And for photographers, apart from the front few rows, you are above the fence line. I've been in Dunlop many times over the years, but for me, Raccordement wins hands down, despite the relative discomfort you have to endure. Horses for courses!

I'll use it for practice if I can, but I'm probably going to spend mot time wandering around and of course at Porsche Curves. I've tried to book T17 for some of the race too.

Sat in T23 last year for the first time and for a change. Enjoyed it for the different view but not the bleeding of the French and RLM radio signals (always worse down there). Back to T17 in 2020.

Interesting, I've had that problem in T17 when sitting high up, but had no such problem in T23 when we were there a few years ago.
