Ford Le Mans 2025 - Hospitality Package


Cobrar said:
I think you just touched on the issue. Navigating thru Paris (France, not Illinois or Arkansas LOL) with a cell phone vs. actual GPS device. The at-times spotty service and the refresh rates on a cell were sometimes horrible, so unless you anticipated the traffic splits, you missed the necessary turns. Not fun in rush hour traffic. Perhaps a dedicated GPS is the answer.

Well we have been to Europe 6 times in the last 10 years, and the dedicated GPS, with a larger screen (this is a key detail), up on the windshield, in the field of view, really works for me.

Sixth time to Le Man's, always used a phone for navigation, never a problem (except in 2016 when Brian's phone took us to Lake Como Dry Cleaners instead of Lake Como!)
 
You usually have to have the European maps installed.
 
This package showed up on Ford Authority this morning. The word is out.
 
This will be my 5th trip. Spend a few days in Paris. Usually walk or Uber. Then take the train to Le Mans. Usually walk or Uber.

3 purchased! It has been a life-long dream of my Dad to go to Lemans (as well as my son and I). I will be surprising him with a ticket soon....he will flip out. 3 generations coming.

Time to make plans.
Been 5 times and always took the train from Paris to Lemans and my rental car.

This time I'm driving all the way.
It's a blast to drive in France.
My cell GPS worked perfectly.
Just make sure its something like Verizon. STORMCATs suggestion.
 
I am French, if someone has questions, don't hesitate!
 
Still no confirmation Message although money taken. Follow up contacts ignored so far....
 
They'll get to you eventually. :ROFLMAO:

If anyone has any concerns after a couple days let me know and I'll get to them.
 
PM sent.

Still an unknown start date but I’d wager yes. June is “mid-year”

Just got invite thru GTD concierge team. I haven't been to any big races, have always wanted to. There is no way my wife could go medically. I asked a friend if he would want to go. Have no other ideas of where to stay or travel? Anyone have good suggestions. Thanks, and should I pay for tickets since they are limited. Surprised they are still available.
 
Follow up. Tried to apply for this “non visa” program and was told it’s not operational.
Suspect it will be by June…but who knows.

Fly into Paris, rent a car (what we have done), or take the train to LeMans. After that, just like the US, around a huge sporting event, you can attempt to find a hotel, or get an Airbnb. Would not surprise me if at this point you would be 45 min+ away (again where a car would be needed). Perhaps consider a travel agent.
 
Speaking from first hand experience, driving will probably get you a radar trap speeding ticket or two. In 2016 I was extremely lucky that Brombear rode with me and pointed out all the traps. I got no tickets while several people here paid the price..

Less than 200 spaces, and with Mustang Challenge running I expect this to sell out.

This is honestly a great program for the price. Two story structure in Raccordement like we had in 2016 and 5 day access.

Incredible that there is this much advance notice! If you have any questions, let me know. This will be my 8th time doing the 24.

Hey DBK, I had issues selecting the ticket quantity last night and couldnt complete the process. I emailed the concierge team but nothing back yet. Now, none of the links are working for me! (slightly panicked lol) I'd like 4 spots and want to sign up asap! I did receive the GTD invite via email as well.

I got 3 tickets last year, but in my defense the rental was an awesome three series M station wagon (sadly not sold in the US). Rental companies are so connected these days that it's an automatic debit.
 
It does appear the current allotment of tickets has been taken. I'll let you know if anything changes.
