Passion 24 VIP

[indyxe]

Now that I'm now an ACO member I have access to the ESPACE PRIVILEGE CLUB ACO next to Dunlop Bridge, what should i expect at this facility. I understand I can take upto 3 guests in for 15 euros a head, is this for the full race or per visit?.
Also is there anything else I should know about being a passion 24vip member, ie:- perks etc,,

cheers

It's for the full race. Basically it's a fairly nice area with a couple of large marquees set amongst a few trees. Within one marquee there's a couple of bars and food serveries, along with big screens and seating. You can also pick up all the race stats each hours, and last year there was supposedly free wifi although none of us could access it. There's also electric points so you can charge phones etc. In the other marquee there's usually some entertainment - racing computer games, a huge Scalextric of Le Sarthe circuit that kind of thing. There's also a good length of private viewing space running from the Dunlop bridge to the start of the esses. Annoyingly there's been no toilets within that facility the past two years so you have to exit and come back in.

You can also access the ACO place opposite the pitlane exit, again, there's a bar/food and somewhere to sit, plus toilets etc. That's your entrance to the ACO tribune if you get a granstand seat, although you can't go in unless you've paid the additional fee.

We reckon it's a good facility, handy for us all to meet up as a group, and the bar queues etc aren't too bad as a rule.

You also get discounted entry tickets - E51 rather than E67 this year - you can get 6 tickets at that price - and can pre-order to be sent to you in the UK or pick at the circuit.
