LM24 Race 2021 where are those going hoping to camp/stay (Closed)

GT6 · 23 Jun 2021, 09:29 (Ref:4057845)

Well it looks like some of us will actually be able to go to this years race, i know it is still not certain but this year things will be very different, so people will not be staying were they usually hang out, Lets see were we all hope to be. Fingers crossed we will be there.

Giba · 23 Jun 2021, 12:42 (Ref:4057884)

Sadly, I'll be watching from home this year. If things go to plan, aim to be trackside for 2022!

Fantastic that there is this thread. Mine is the most boring answer.

I’ll sticky he thread.

CTD · 24 Jun 2021, 04:46 (Ref:4057941)

Stay at home

I got the offer to marshal at Extreme-E in Greenland and with how things where looking, I took that offer.

Well sounds good, hope you enjoy the experience, but don't forget to wear lots of rubber with all that electricity trying to find earth we do not want you being fried. See you next year hopefully

rdjones · 24 Jun 2021, 08:04 (Ref:4057952)

I will be watching from home again. We are due to return from Portugal (hopefully but that is up in the air at present) but our flight lands at about 12pm so I should be home in time to see the start.

I do a similar one each year so that those staying will know where everyone is, most people stay in the same campsite every year but for those going the first time it is the opportunity to meet other people if they are camping in the same place. The annual meet of forum members on saturday might be a little sparse this year but i am sure some of us will meet up.

Sorry to say that I won't be making the pilgrimage this year. Last year and earlier this year I had it in my mind that I'd go if it was possible. However for me, there seem to be too many unknowns and a slight lack of options.

Hope it is a great event and everyone who goes enjoys it immensely!

Simmi · 28 Jun 2021, 11:28 (Ref:4058613)

Will fill this in when I feel a bit more confident about going. Since the high of getting tickets my optimism has taken a dip.

Same goes for me. I just hope old age/ill health/an international resurgence of Covid 19 don't prevent me getting there in 2022

GT6 · 29 Jun 2021, 16:38 (Ref:4058867)

Well today i downloaded my tickets, appears no allocated spaces on the campsite so to depress Vince still further we will try to get a space close by him.

vincegail · 29 Jun 2021, 16:53 (Ref:4058871)

I booked an airbnb in Spay monday and tuesday so I will be at the gates of Epinettes early wednesday morning. Will save a space for you.

GT6 · 29 Jun 2021, 16:59 (Ref:4058876)

Great, should be there lunchtime as i think the top speed of the van is not exactly going to impress the local police force, but might cause a backlog traffic jam as we amble down the old roads. Look out for the vintage vw campervan.

GT6 · 30 Jun 2021, 13:45 (Ref:4059026)

Well at the moment no shows are running at 50%, but there are quite a few who have not posted what they are doing, notice ACO are still selling both camping and GE tickets so not a sell out yet.

whitemr2 · 30 Jun 2021, 16:34 (Ref:4059054)

Waiting for my letter, still nothing. After that I will decide, I must say with a different covid situation every day I'm still not sure if it is wise to attend.

claude2cv · 30 Jun 2021, 18:28 (Ref:4059070)

As the ACO chose to change to the week we have a cottage booked in Cornwall I will have to miss this time even if it is possible to go. Maybe they picked that week on purpose ?

I'm still waiting too for the letter but you can bypass the process by logging in, going onto the ticket site (https://ticket.lemans.org/en/24h-lemans - not ACO member page), and selecting 'My orders'.

Then you can see the letter - even print it off. Doesn't sound like they will mail out physical tickets (just convert to e-tickets) so I don't think it's any stress waiting for the postman.

Only issue for me is ACO ticket office won't answer the phone.

Not much cop at replying to emails either, I sent one last Wednesday, not heard a thing yet.

Maybe they were having a lie down in a darkened room for a few days. I rang up this morning after days of trying, first time answer, tickets sorted and downloaded within 5mins.

So which campsite did they give you?

Are you an ACO member? If so, send it again to Hélène at

clubaco@lemans.org

I've traditionally always booked our camping tickets with agencies so I made a separate booking for this.

Managed to get Houx Annexe ordered online. We're traditionally on Houx anyway but was just happy to get a pitch to be honest.
