You only need to join the ACO if you want seats in Tribune 17 (Durand) or 18 (ACO) (i.e. the ACO ones, that are linked together)
What about a camping pitch, I though you needed to be a member to get a pitch at an official site.Seems like Les Frogs or more like the ACO have found an answer to Covid.
Reduce the membership renewal amount ,add this ,add that at extra cost . Chuck members and non members and locals all in together and voila!
The more Euros you donate , the greater the chance of infection. Or am I missing something?

My guess is they have reduced membership fees to encourage non-attenders to remain members and bring money in.Reduce the membership renewal amount ,add this ,add that at extra cost . Chuck members and non members and locals all in together and voila!

Re throwing members, non-members and locals together.....wasn’t it always thus.
I don’t see how and increase in Euros spent equates to transmission....one has a choice to go, or not, and in doing so mitigate your risk how best you feel you can. At least we can attend and live a little. One thing is for sure, corona virus will not be going away and any rush and as such I am more than happy to start living with it.

It is reported today that 92% of all new cases in the Sarthe are of the South African Delta variety.
I suspect you've got your variants in a twist...South African is the Beta variant and the Delta variant is the variant originally known as the Indian variant. I believe it's the Delta variant that's dominant in the department, not the South African Beta variant. From a British perspective, that's a good thing, as it's the Beta variant that's sending our government into a blind panic.
I believe quite high efficacy of the vaccines against the Beta variant is now being reported (a Canadian study), so the panic over the variant is easing. I understand the biggest concern was that a person could contract the Delta and Beta variants at the same time leading to a new mutation which was highly transmissible and vaccine tolerant.
Signs now are that France will move from Amber Plus to Amber in the next round of travel list updates, meaning no self isolation for fully vaccinated travellers on return to the UK, and with a potential three week travel window before any further changes, which would cover race weekend, there is now good reason for a little optimism.
But as the thread title says... don't get too excited!

The other variants are deemed "of interest" rather than "concern"
Epsilon was first identified in California
Eta in the UK/Nigeria
Iota in New York
Kappa in India
Zeta seems to have been removed from the "of interest" list in the USA, indeed there all other variants seem to be out-competed by the Delta variant which is the cause of the third wave here in Europe.

Not sure - I just clicked on the 'refund now' button in the email.
As per usual they seem to struggle with anything digital.
I did the online refund request and sent an email with details to confirm I wanted a refund. This was acknowledged as received and will be processed soon. As per usual they seem to struggle with anything digital.
Not sure why or whether it should have changed from the ‘automatic’ process first published.
Meanwhile, I got a letter from the ACO asking me to confirm by post if I wanted to take tickets or get a refund; there was a URL in it to locate the order, and the URL is a dead link...
Then it was - apply for a refund here - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScpMKO-QX... There's nowhere on that form to say how you want the refund to arrive - I filled it in a month ago but heard nothing.
Logging into the my account site - https://account.lemans.org/en/profile/infos - has no "my tickets" or anything, but clicking on through as if I want to buy more tickets eventually leads to https://ticket.lemans.org/en/my-commands, which shows my previous orders.
...but doesn't include any of the 2020/21 race tickets or the credit note... AArgh! How can the ACO make such a meal of this kind of process? I know, I know, we shouldn't be surprised but still...
In the end I've just emailed them all the same details as the Google Form, but also included an IBAN - surely they should just refund the tickets to the credit card that bought them? or is that asking too much - and we'll see where that goes...
