Fellow GT racing fans,

currently considering attending the race next week saturday 2:30pm. Anyone else showing up there ? Any special tickets available for Ford GT fans that want to get closer to the heat ? Anything I need to know when I have never been there (parking lot for GT drivers) ?

Looking forward to any kind of information.

Matthias

I think all the teams will continue to sandbag so I don't expect a Ford win 'cos they're already penalized enough. Le Mans is when everything will be turned up to eleven!

Unfortunately no, Matthias, I am not free that weekend.
I agree with Texas Mongrel.
I think that every body avoid to show its cards, (look the two Ford GT always together during the 6 hours of the Silverstone race), and that the serious things will only begin at Le Mans.
I only hope that Ford have really the best cards !!!

Pending the pleasure to meet you during the 24 hours of Le Mans weekend.

Best regards.

Francis.

Guys,

just wondering, am I the only one going to Spa ? Somehow I can't believe that.

@Dave

Are there possibilities to get closer to the center of action @Ford/Chip Ganassi ? Special parking area for an old and possibly lonely GT (2006) ? Any contact for me ?

Best regards

What's "turned up to eleven"? and how's whatever that is at Le Mans as opposed to elsewhere?
