FoS 2024 (yes, 2024)

[ch37]

It's a tradition here to get in early once the F1 calendar is announced...it's fair to say this one came sooner than expected...

15-16 June Le Mans
21-23 June Spain GP
28-30 June Austrian GP
05-07 July British GP
19-21 July Hungary GP

I'd say it's a nailed on certainty for 11-14th July 2024, obviously pending any changes in the F1 calendar as it's very early days. The hotel rooms will start disappearing very quickly.

WEC is 11-14 July in Brazil so whilst it’s the most likely date they might struggle with having the Le Mans winners there?

Probably, but they can't win them all and F1 is by far the biggest draw. The calendar is so congested around that time there will always be something fairly significant that isn't able to attend.

Priority tickets to go on sale next Monday, 24th July. Priority will include GRRC, Fellowship and all Saturday ticket holders who have not requested a refund.

Confirmed 11-14th July 2024.

Unless I'm missing something, I'm getting absolutely shafted by having rolled forward my Saturday ticket, but needing a ticket for all 4 days? The 3 remaining days alone cost more than a 4 day pass.

I may as well buy a 4 day pass (for £4 less than the 3 individual days) then sell a Saturday ticket on Twickets next year.

even though I'm signed in, I'm only offered a chargeable ticket for Thursday 24. it's been free until '23.

As a full GRRC member? Is it one of the listed benefits?

Been answered on Facebook. The GRRC benefits, e.g. Kinrara and free Thursday tickets, become available in the Autumn.

Another flaw in the system if you want to attend all 4 days, surely? Fri-Sun costs substantially more than a 4 day pass. It's cheaper to pay for it even if you're entitled to it for free.

Quoting myself but if like me you've done this, you need to phone the ticket office who thankfully can still get added back on to the refund spreadsheet manually, then you just go ahead and book the 4 day ticket online as usual.

2024 tickets arrived today, just got to put them somewhere safe and remember where that was in 9 months' time. So used to turning up to an event with a QR code on my phone these days.
