I hear what your saying Botmeister and as Trichens says it is pretty much buying a membership to get to the ticket sales early and it panning out quite close on price. I went ACO on Trichens advice from this post this time last year and having a thought in my mind that there are a lot less members going than the 300,000 tickets on sale so I could grab a grandstand seat unfortunately i got above the pit lane whilst my brother and nephew got the tetre rouge stand so we're not together.

That being said I'm not sure how long we will stay in the grandstand after the start and then again during the night and at the end.

For me I love being trackside just to have the feeling that I'm there and it has given me the feeling that I cant believe I am there especially on the track walk. Also might remember to go in the museum next year.

To be honest Botmeister i hear your frustration and I get it. Le Mans has turned in to my Holiday each year so any extra money (even if I don't have a lot is ok to me).

I wish I could afford the nurburgring 24 and the spa 24 As well which are all within 3 weeks of each other next year.
Any idea if people have watch parties for these events, I don't know many people who actually enjoy motorsports and are also willing to watch something other than f1!

I've waffled on enough thanks for reading.
up early for macau this weekend about to try and find a track for assetto corsa right now.

We went to Nurburgring 24h last year. Was a great event too. LM24h is a bit nicer though imo. So yesterday I proposed an alternative and now we're looking to visit the WEC 6 hours of Spa in May 2025. Sure that will be fun too! Never been at Spa before so another check mark for the bucket list.

Spa 6 Hours sounds like a good choice. Not been there myself either.

At Le Mans I can get access to pits, etc. through knowing the "right people" but I still need to get tickets to get into the circuit and somewhere to sleep.

From NL it's a 3 hour drive to Spa. So basically it can be a one day visit. Which is significantly cheaper than any 3-5 days visit. But there is one important factor left to discuss. Beer . So maybe a hotel for one night, we'll see.

Spa is on the bucket list and beer is a must!
are tickets for that race a little easier to come by?

They are certainly available at the moment.
