I shall be attending this year. Any and all tips are appreciated! Best placed to spectate? Take photos? Sneak into? Drink wine at? etc...?

Will any of you be there?

I won’t be there, but I will be jealous.

Side note: I’m going to try to get my girlfriend interested in going to Europe on our honeymoon in time for me to watch this, whichever year it may be. She’s already accepted the fact that it goes on the TV every year from beginning to end even if I’m not actively watching it.

If not le mans, spa wouldn’t be too shabby of a backup!

It took me a bit of time to find the article written by an Opponaut, but there’s some good info here:

If the planets are in alignment for 2018, me and my dad, as well as my brother and nephew are all planning to go to LeMans and stay here during the races and qualifying.

Have fun and tell us all about it when you get back!

I went in 2015, and took my camera as per. all the photos here were from public areas:

Hopefully going back this year, be good to see Toyota take the win!
