What are paddock and gridwalk tickets? Not use to having to purchase extra tickets to visit the paddock area nor goi to the gridwalk at IMSA events. Entry tickets cover everything except parking and camping in most cases at IMSA events. Some have grandstand tickets but not all.

And even with that, a friend who worked as a photographer at the race last year told me that the gridwalk was insanely crowded in '22, it's likely going to be even worse this year. |

There's a two-layer paddock right? Because you can certainly get in to the area with the hospitality units and see drivers coming out of the garages/trucks. There's even a bar in there.

I see FP4 on the Thursday evening has been cut to just one hour, 10-11pm, according to the programme on the ACO website.

Doesn't bother me at all. While useful for teams to an extent (especially if someone still needs night laps), from a fan perspective it's a completely dead session. I think mostly it's a slightly bitter reminder of how they changed quali. They've already stripped two hours from Test Day running and this would be be a third hour lost. I'm sure the new Hypercar teams won't love it, but generally I tend to think there's too much track time during the build-up. I think quite a few teams might just park it for FP4 now. We saw a bit of that previously. |

Yes, I wasn't thinking of that bit as it is all hospitality and a very expensive bar.

This has no doubt been discussed previously but any idea when the bus services (road train) start? Can't find it on the official site.

I've found this for bus services. It's a bit small, but I can just read it. Not sure that it relates to the road train though....

I think you'll find it's last years.

Yeah, from past experience that part is (or at least used to be) open to GA tickets until Friday evening.

Just checked the long range forecast. Partly cloudy, max 22C, 25% chance of moistness. Very agreeable.

How does one get his/her tickets sent?
Hello Tenthers, I was wondering, being in the process of obtaining tickets via the non-official way and not having been to Le Mans for the last three years:
How do you get your tickets? I reccon no langer by snailmail... |

I bought mine direct from the ACO in the two parts, entry and grandstand and then a month or so later the parking. In each case the tickets were delivered about a week later. I elected to have paper rather than electronic tickets although I do have a couple of additional electronic tickets.
It's fairly late to be trying to source tickets? |

With agencies no longer able to guarantee stuff I think ACO membership - buy direct is the way many (myself included are going). That said after last year ACO membership will be going through the roof I imagine.
It will be interesting to see to what extent this surge is just based around the 100th edition. I think it's far more than that and I'd expect next year to be a sell-out too. |
