Moderators, didn't know if this belongs to GG or to the Events or anywhere else. Please move at will.

I have noticed that Pistonheads had a club parking space inside of the circuit in Le Mans Classic 2018.
If this is still the case for 2020, what shall I do to get access to it? I haven't seen anywhere any type of registration form or any fees to be paid.
Please enlighten me.
Thanks and regards
Philippe

Correct forum location, but apologies for the slow response!

Edit: The PistonHeads display area on the Bugatti Circuit and the parade laps sessions are open to all PHers whether they are staying on our private campsite or not. However, they will need to be booked through 1st Tickets and are only for eligible vehicles. I'll post a link to the eligibility list shortly.

Our packages with our travel partner 1st Tickets should be on sale within the next few weeks. More details and link to register interest can be found here: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...

Sent off booking to 1st Tickets to have PH parking and the track laps. Taking my lad for his first trip to Le Mans so no better way to show him the track than by driving round it a couple of times. Just need to hope the Corvette holds together after trips to 6hr of Spa and 24hr Le Mans.

Yep, here you go: https://1st-tickets.co.uk/images/LMC2016%20Happy%2...

I'll caveat that list is from 2016 but I can't find one for 2020. Here's the details from the 1st Tickets website: Driving the full Le Mans Circuit is a great experience and a perfect gift for any racing enthusiast or for that special occasion.

Eligible cars drive behind a pace car for at least two laps of the circuit. You will drive through the Dunlop chicane, Chapelle curves, Tertre Rouge corner, down the Mulsanne straight and through the two chicanes, then round the Mulsanne corner towards Indiannapolis and Arnage corners before driving through the technical Porsche Curves, then along the short Raccordement straight before going through the Ford chicance and up the Pits Straight.

(Approx 20 mins session available Friday and Saturday)

Sessions are £205 each and can be booked by calling them up or if you go through the booking page and selecting 'no' to everything until you get to the extras tab where you add a session to your basket: https://1st-tickets.co.uk/event/pistonheads-le-man...
