slowdude Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Hey All,  Wondering If anyone has some advice for watching 24 hours of lemans in person?  Work is sending me back to Europe for a few months, and the dates I chose happened to overlap with some events going on over there. 😀  I was wondering If anyone had any experience with the race, specifically the public viewing areas, the massive clogs of public roads etc. Any tips or tricks etc.  I'm going to rent a 5 series wagon from work for cheap and sleep in the car, and will bring some food etc.  Any advice truly accepted!   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher smith Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Great opportunities! When I traveled to Europe years ago I took some weekends at races but never LeMans. But if you want to see some great tracks consider Zaandfoort, Hockenheim, San Marino and Monza all with great train access. So does Monaco, but prices are outragous. Huge car traffic issues at Silverstone and probably sold out long ago for GP, but lesser races are great. Also if you can drive to the Goodwood Revival ( vintage race) you should have a great time. The track in Austria is a very long drive as is SPA I think. And Budapest is a great place although I never got to the track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if I do something stupid and buy a car over there for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm HQ'd in southern Germany, Salzburg ring is a few hours and worth the jaunt. I've done the ring, so Spa /Zaandvort / Monza would be worth the rides.  Appreciate the advice!
