[Jacco van der Zaag]

Nuts? Why nuts? It was 60-70 euros or something like it, for the whole week...

Lol, I saw 250€ for a place on the grass

Really? Wow.. If you go to their official site, Google 'ticket' and ' Le Mans', it will give a .org website you find a whole lot of different tickets.

I personally don't like to sit on a grandstand, so walking around is good enough, plus two parking tickets, plus tickets for Mulsanne, Arnage and Porsche curves, 5 people, for about 500 euros I guess, in total. And that's a ticket for the whole week.

I have been there 4 times I wanna go again but due to reasons and other things I havent been back since 2015....I went from 2012 to 2015 and its remarkable!

I start the week by listening to the Lemans test day. Then Listen to the shows at radiolemans.com leading up to the big race. Send wife and kids to mother-in-laws....weekend set.

I'm not ready, but I do love some lemans.

 

[bosco lam]

ALONSO!!

DVR was a great innovation. One of, if not the best race still in existence.

 

[NASCRAP]

I would have paid for the official streaming service, but WEC decided they don't want American customers' money. That's okay; I know where to go to watch it live. I'll go to bed as I usually do, then catch what I missed by using a private torrent tracker.

Just incase the race inspires the need for some on track Sim action, Aussie event but not too early in the morning for EU etc.

 

[michelforest]

I'd love to watch it, at least parts of it, but I live in Canada and I don't think it's on any TV network at all...

 

[Raikku]

Yeah! My body is ready to take it. I'm already nude and waiting.

 

[Boby Kim]

Gonna see the whole race. I really hope the french broadcast will focus more on lpm2 and the gt classes.

 

[Koen Verlinde]

I thought about going too, but the ticket prices are absolute nuts!

I agree, it's just too costly.

 

[the_racer]

Since 2008 that I watch the full race on Eurosport.

Normally I pay more attention to the P1 race, but this year maybe I will pay attention more the the GTE Pro race.

 

[Raikku]

I'll also watch from ES, have had their channel(s) in my cable-tv for years, or course now in HD.

 

[RichardHessels]

As always I stay up and watch, couldn't care less about a green field with 20 or so millionaires on it.

So we rather watch 50 or so millionaires driving around in circles for 24 hours. ( <- is a joke, ok)

Before i unleash a whole new can of worms in this thread

That's NASCAR. These millionaires have to turn left and right!

 

[Andrew Harper]

Like some others on here, I'm on an early at work I think I'm going to miss the first hour or so

Really looking forward to it though, I usually watch via the app and then pick the onboard cameras that I want to watch during the race. Sometimes tune into Radio Le Mans as well although there is a delay of about 30-35 seconds between pictures and sound.

As others have said above I hope the French TV company will let us see some of the other battles through the field. Nothing worse that hearing them get all excited about a great battle on Radio Le Mans and being unable to see it! lol. However it's nowhere near as bad as it was. I seem to remember when Peugeot were around the producers just seemed to follow them all the time and that just annoyed the hell out of me My fear is it'll become Alonso.tv

Also wishing Jenson a good race, understandably most of the press have been following Alonso but Jenson is in with a good chance of doing well. Of the two he's probably had the slightly tougher introduction as he's literary had to jump into the car with minimal testing. I see he's about 3 seconds off his faster team mates at the moment but he can make that up. His consistency as a driver should help the team no end.

Might be so, but on top of that comes parking, camping/hotel, drive to and from, eating/drinking. It just tops out very high and very quickly.

I generally stay in awe about the cars and the technology and the endurance aspect. You can't really compare 24 hours where the pilot is part of the project but can be betrayed by the car with a game of 90 minutes where the only non-human aspect is a leather ball that gets replaced if it would go flat.
