Parades are OK, but I'd prefer to see cars racing. There were some nice parades at the Revival, but the races were infinitely better. The trouble with some of the historic racing we get as a support at Le Mans is that the cars aren't pedalled hard enough....

i agree but i think that for the 100th anniversary a showing of how the cars have developed would be a welcome break and allow the modern fans to hear some wonderful cars rather than just see them in a museum

Am I correct in thinking that 'commissaire' is the French term for a marshal (or steward)? I've just added an unusual ticket to my collection. It initially seems to be a 'commissaire's' ticket from 1990 but having translated the small print, it seems to be a ticket for a marshal's guest, authorising the guest to park at the marshal's post but forbidding him/her to go near the track. Unusual.....

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.

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

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...

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

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.

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.
