Pit walk Wednesday and Thursday,
Discussion
Just musing over various Le Mans stories and thought I'd take a look at the official 24hr website. It now has Wednesday and Thursday pit walks listed from 8am to 3pm and has a picture of the main pit lane. Is this new, or something I've missed over the last 9 years? We've been to the pits on the Friday enroute to CBW just to have a close up nose at the cars. If the pits are open during the week I may well get a visit in early and spend Friday morning nursing the hangover before CBW.
i think that is partially correct in terms of pit walks on Wed/Thursday, unfortunately we fell foul of that last year with a manic day trip on the Wednesday thinking we could rove in the afternoon before open practice. It was a ticket only option (no idea how you booked) and not covered by a general entrance ticket. We ended up finding an open gate on the main stands overlooking the pits so sat and had lunch and a beer watching the prep instead.
Always used to be the case that grandstands are open to all on Wed/Thurs then by ticket for the race. We sat in the Dunlop tribune late night a couple of years back unchallenged on the Sat night....i guess it depends on which jobsworth is on duty and whether they really care late night or not.

They're red hot on ticket checks at the start of the race.
We've wandered into the grandstands over the pits in the middle of Saturday night before now with no ticket check.
Yep. Watched the start from behind the low wall opposite the pits same deal. Stood in the Panoz garage during the race for a couple of hours same. etc etc. Theres always a way for the polite 'grey man' to wander unnoticed.We've wandered into the grandstands over the pits in the middle of Saturday night before now with no ticket check.
