Ah, well we're in the same boat then as although I have some parking tickets hard copy, I also have a couple of e-tickets and I haven't received any sticker(s) yet either. I might just pop them an email....

I have the proper old fashioned printed tickets, I presume we don't need stickers for those, but who knows with the ACO

I'm guessing the sticker is to a) stop people printing off three copies, and b) save the hassle of people and their phones at the gate.

Well, just had a text from DHL to say that something will arrive from Automobile Club tomorrow - perhaps that is the Parking tickets - will advise in due course.

I guess so. I emailed ACO support about the stickers and they emailed back to say I needed to email the ticket department. As it happens, I sent my original email to the ticket department as well.... I will wait and see if I get a reply. As they've got no tickets to sell, they shouldn't be very busy.....

AFAIK the deal for BSJ Camping is arrive and swap your ticket for a sticker. I imagine it would be the same for parking.

Has been for Parking Expo in recent years … but I suppose if you are going to change things you might as well do everything in one year …

GT6 · 16 May 2023, 17:30 (Ref:4156450)

We still have camping stickers on several of our cars from previous years, they are a bugger to get of without leaving a mess

Brake fluid and then brake cleaner, but watch the paintwork with the former!

GT6 · 16 May 2023, 18:14 (Ref:4156458)

no i actually quite like leaving them there

But the email said -

You have booked a parking permit for the Panorama, Expo, Mulsane-Arnage car park or Parking PZ54 car park. This year, your parking permit will be a sticker that you will receive by secured mail. You won’t need to exchange your E-ticket for a permit when you get to the circuit.

The sticker will probably arrive after we've left for Le Mans

vincegail · 16 May 2023, 20:18 (Ref:4156478)

I'm thinking the same thing.

What email address did you use? I used serviceclients@lemans.org
No reply yet. (mail sent 15.13 CET, so the French had probably already left the office)

**Aysedasi** · 16 May 2023, 21:20 (Ref:4156484)

I just used the normal tickets address - tickets@lemans.org

Did try with WD40?

**Bentley03** · 17 May 2023, 06:46 (Ref:4156503)

There's a very simple solution to the windscreen sticker issue chaps...don't stick them on your windscreen, just lay them on your dashboard, I've done that for years now, after getting thoroughly fed up with
the issues and excessive amount of elbow grease necessary to get the sticker and glue residue off my windscreens. Simples, surely?

Time's really flying, just two weeks today I'll be on my way. Need to up the ante on my preparations from today.

Getting really very excited now...

I'm kinda bummed about that change. We were planning to head to Arnage for it as we did last time, but not sure if we will now as we could end up missing more of it if traffic is worse than we anticipate.

I thought I'd watch that from the spectator area at BSJ. I'll catch the afternoon practice from Dunlop Bridge area. I suspect everywhare will be rammed though.

Gotcha, and I agree that it's a great session to try to watch at either Arnage or Mulsanne, due to there being less traffic between enclosure locations than during the race itself.

GT6 · 17 May 2023, 08:34 (Ref:4156519)

Yes for several years we would watch the night time session at arnarge, much easier than going there during the actual race

S griffin · 17 May 2023, 09:12 (Ref:4156526)

So would you say Arnage is the best place to watch from at night? Or only during the practice session? I have heard from family members lucky enough to go to LM how surreal it can feel at night and the atmosphere can be quite something wherever you are.

For me, it's my favourite viewing enclosure full stop, night or day, although it would be true to say that it takes on a special atmosphere after dark.

That said, the amount of floodlighting around that section of track has increased over the years, which detracts somewhat from the experience. They have also cut back on the number of big screens there over the last couple of years, from two to one, which is a bit frustrating.

The greatest thing about Le Mans is the sheer variety of viewing locations available, all with their own qualities/characteristics, so to just watch the race from Arnage, for example, is to miss out on so much else the circuit has to offer the spectator.

No, absolutely not, nobody should go down to Arnage on the Saturday night. This is in no way related to me wanting to get a spot right up against the fence again at 2am.

Joking apart it’s great at night down at Mulsanne and Indianapolis/Arnage. The cars screaming past with headlights on full as you walk back to the exit of Mulsanne and the cars barrelling in to Arnage with brakes glowing before they roar away is a great experience in the dark.
