ACO Membership?

[cdon]

I already have a ticket for Parc Blanc and the grandstand by the Dunlop curve. My plan is to sleep in the car or do an all nighter. No camping.

I understand there’s an area for ACO members at T18(?) grandstand that has a bar, toilets, showers etc. Can you access this with the €100 ACO membership but not a ticket to that grandstand?

is the ACO membership/members area worth it? I would be interested mainly to have somewhere to take a shower/retreat to if the weather gets crazy.

Yes and the excellent viewing on the inside of the run down from the Dunlop bridge into the Esses. It’s my favourite afternoon spot to watch but not worth it alone for the membership.

Are the ACO benefits at the LM24 worth it? Viewing area, slight discount on GE and facilities at T18 (toilets, showers, lockers).

I’ve read some comments that said they were so busy that people ended up not using them.

With the high price of an ACO membership however - you're half way to a camping ticket

I had planned to camp at the start but I’m not in LeMans until Saturday morning so I don’t think it’s worth it. I’ll be leaving again some time on Sunday.

Don't be a sheep is the answer. If you follow the flock with this odd need to shower at 9am you'll have big queues. Leave it and shower around lunch time/before bed and you will either walk straight in or maybe have 2 or 3 people in the queue ahead of you - even on one of the 1000 people/show sites like Bleu Nord.

Are there any checks in place to access the campsites or could anyone walk into Bleu Nord and take a shower?
