24 Hours of Lemans
Hopefully we haven’t waited too late, but what are the best locations/tickets to watch the race… grandstand, turn, ??? etc.
How do you get to the track that weekend and where have you stayed? Also, we want to go see the beaches of Normandy, Stuttgart/Porsche Museum and the Nurburgring. What’s the best way to get around to those places First trip to Europe and this is one of the things little rocket man and myself want to do. Last edited by A930Rocket; 11-07-2024 at 06:50 PM..

The Ten-Tenths forum has a whole sub-forum dedicated to advice on attending LM. Best resource I've found on the net and was very helpful when we attended.
We did Normandy, went to LM, visited military history in France and Belgium, and then went to Nurburgring. In 2025, LM24 and N24 are on successive weekends, so you can do the same.

Wear support stockings on the plane and take a baby aspirin the day before you travel

  Both LM24 and N24 are large and sprawling and advance prep is your friend. Trying to figure it out on the fly is not ideal. They are also very different events.

We are only going to see the LM24, as we have plans the following weekend. Looking online, at the AOC or leman website, is an exercise in frustration. The app is in French only.
I have joined the ten tenths forum, and I’ve started to read about it. |
