[LM24] OK, So What Do We Talk About Between Last Year's Le Mans and Next Year's.....?

[GT6]

been having trouble renewing my membership which ran out end of June and after a few days of trying eventually did it over the phone, as it is now july the membership now runs until end of july 2023, so got a free 1 month. Same membership number.

I renewed at the circuit and got a similar result so I'm covered for the Classic 2023 as well.

I renewed mine online without any issues.... Card arrived a few days ago.

[GT6]

I went on line got into the membership part of the site and managed to log on but no where to renew, the ACO club bit had a bit to join as a new member but no were as an existing one. but happy with an extra month, if i manage to do that for the next 11 years i will get a free year

[Aysedasi]

Same thing happened to me last renewal (not this one). Mine has always been until the end of May, now its the end of June.

Well it's about time we got ready to talk about the challenges of booking tickets on the ACO website again.

Looking at that there social media, it looks like Silverstone are having a mare with their demand based pricing for the GP next year. People are saying they'd rather go to FE in NY (really ?) or Le Mans 24 Hours (hurrah !). I've not been to the GP for a fair few years now, but the prices people are quoting do seem rather expensive.

For sure more and more people are being priced out of that sport. Even the 'cheaper' foreign races are selling out and prices skyrocketing. It's only going to get worse.

Hopefully Le Mans keeps it sensible.

For 2023, a new bridge for pedestrians to connect the karting area and Maison-Blanche !

Hadn't they been talking about that for a while?

[Simmi]

Makes sense that this has been tied in but Ferrari Challenge will be back among the support events next year.

Hopefully there is also something with historics for the centenary.

That's a good point, there should be something to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the event.

I'd rather they leave that for the Classic tbh, I'd much prefer to see competitive racing on the 24hr support card, but I'm sure there will be something related to the centenary.

[dwh43scale]

If they do have some historics (787B for example) hopefully they will do more than one lap so we can enjoy them past the pits at a decent speed.

[GT6]

Yes a parade of the winning cars ( or models) doing a lap or two would be interesting but some of the old buggies do take a fair bit of time to do a lap
