I would agree some area's are friendly but not all and to be honest leaving it in places to then get into stands etc or the viewing area's may cause a further problem.
The mass of people will also cause a very slow progress around at certain times, So perhaps it would be easier to use the scooter at certain times but not at others.

Hi.

**Aysedasi** · 8 May 2015, 17:40 (Ref:3535569)

Any news on a 2015 version? I rarely pop into CA these days.

Kpy · 8 May 2015, 21:11 (Ref:3535640)

Werner is working on the CA guide as per usual. No publishing date yet as far as I know.
Just a quick mention - the rate of donation to download is downright disgraceful.
Very few people downloading bother to make any donation at all.
Gets me hot under the collar. Please be the exception if you take a copy

**Aysedasi** · 9 May 2015, 16:29 (Ref:3535869)

Although I don't necessarily download it every year, I've always donated when I have - and so should anyone else who takes advantage of it......

kpkorsager · 11 May 2015, 13:59 (Ref:3536450)

I think that the CA guide is very usefull if you are a 1st timer.
Full with history and usefull tips.

But do support there cause if you download the guide.

I've got my tickets & camping all sorted (paperwork arrived over the weekend) - original plan was to go solo, but a couple of mates might be able to join me at the last minute.

Will they be able to just buy general admission tickets at the gate & share my pitch?

Yes.
It is however only one car per pitch, but they can camp on your pitch, as long as there is room.

which site are you on?

The security on some sites means that you will need to arrive at the site at the same time as when you do leave it you will be given a pass which you will be required to hand over when you want to get back on to the site, although you can sometimes get late arrivals on it can be a problem. The camping tickets are scanned when you leave and when you arrive to stop the old trick of multiple cars arrive then people take the ticket back out to get the each car in.

This is only if they will be more than one car of course.

I have never heard of camping sites being restricted more than what a GE ticket permits. (Tertre Rouge might be the only exception, in which you Simon is the expert)

I have some spare GA's which I can sell you at 5 euros under face value. If interested pm me your contact details.

GT6 · 12 May 2015, 11:46 (Ref:3536723)

TR has had passes for many years and i think some orher sites within the GE area do as well, the extra security it gives are one of the main reason i always camp there

Houx annexe for us - No worries with car as we're letting the train take the strain.

Then there is no issues with your mates joining you, as long as there is room on your camping spot!

GT6 · 12 May 2015, 15:43 (Ref:3536778)

No problem on HA you can just walk on to the site, but that does mean that it is not very safe to leave anything of value there, best to make friends with all those camping around your spot, that way they will look out and challenge anyone strange snooping around while you are not there.

**bella** · 30 May 2015, 04:01 (Ref:3542721)

o wise ones,

since i'm going to be at the wrong end of europe come The Holy Week, will the friend who was going to come with me be able to pick up our grandstand tickets with a scanned in copy of my driving licence? on the initial email it just said a copy of the id, whereas the latest "this is where you're going" directions email just says "your id".

obviously this is france so it depends on the mood of the person behind the counter, direction of the wind etc but... is there an official word on this?

GT6 · 30 May 2015, 05:42 (Ref:3542732)

i think they will be so busy that they will not look at anything other than the name, glad you are not wasting the tickets, and tell your friends that they are still welcome at the meet on Saturday. You will be missed and glass or two raised in your honour

**bella** · 30 May 2015, 21:55 (Ref:3543077)

thanking you kindly, sir. rest assured, i will return next season. but if you're going to raise a glass it does need to be victors rocket fuel

i only ask cause i could swear i was asked for id last time i collected something from there, but that was in 2012!

Kpy · 31 May 2015, 20:04 (Ref:3543524)

A couple of years ago I was told very firmly by the ACO ticket office that only the person named on the order could pick up the tickets and no proxy would be accepted.

**bella** · 31 May 2015, 22:38 (Ref:3543561)

oh, bloody hell. maybe i need to call them, or ask the friend to call them to see what the score is. the annoying thing is she was going to be using one of them anyway, it's just that i placed the order.

here's the bit from the order email that says someone else can collect them:

Quote:

To collect your tickets, you will need to bring your invoice and a valid ID. Times and places will be announced in due time on our website.
Another person can collect your tickets on your behalf, as long as he/she brings your invoice and a copy of your ID.

Can she credibly bring one of your bits of ID and pass herself off as you? I mean realistically do any of us resemble the images on our passports / driving licenses etc?

GT6 · 1 Jun 2015, 05:16 (Ref:3543651)

It says that another person can collect them with a copy of your ID so surely that can be arranged.

Precisely. Ignore what I said, they must have changed their policy for a more reasonable one.
Sad you can't be there yourself.

**Aysedasi** · 1 Jun 2015, 17:31 (Ref:3543876)

Has anyone else renewed their ACO subscription recently? I renewed mine on 29th April, my account was debited the same day and I still have no card. I emailed the ACO and had a nice reply from Letitia who said that they had had delays in sending cards out but she would send me another 'temporary' one today. As I leave on Saturday I'm not holding out much hope of either arriving in time. As far as I recall, the only time I'm going to need it is when I register for my (no doubt very fetching) wristband. Presumably if I have last year's card (which only ran out in May) that, together with their own records will mean that I have no problem... (I can even bring my building society statement showing the payment to them.....).

nobster · 1 Jun 2015, 18:20 (Ref:3543900)

They are always very slow, mine expires every year in oktober and it takes lots of weeks after and lots of sent emails before I have my new pass!
Service remains of poor standards but as long as we pay at least the ACO is happy.
