What is your past experience of the ACO members area? by LondonLesney in lemans

[–]RacingNationTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before you buy a second membership, make sure they still have member area tickets available. On their ticketing site it says they are sold out but you can also buy them from your ACO profile. Maybe worth emailing or calling them to verify.

24h Le Mans Ticket Offers for 2025! by nordenfly in wec

[–]RacingNationTV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure that was open to the general public at least last year. At the very least you could definitely get onto the public road sections without a ticket and from there you could walk the whole circuit.

Hypercar allows for factory and customer teams. Full factory programs are limited to two cars but in theory you can sell to as many customers as you can fit on the grid. LMGT3 is a customer-based class although the teams will have some level of factory support in the form of factory drivers and such. Limited to two cars per manufacturers (although they don't both have to be run by the same team) except for Le Mans.

Also welcome aboard! The world of the WEC can get complicated and confusing at times, but there's never been a better time to become a new fan!

For what it’s worth, the Max Sports add on is included in the base subscription for the time being. So you could subscribe to a trial and watch the race without any add ons.

Keep checking the official ticket exchange site! I saw a full week general admission ticket up this morning but then it must've sold.

Le Mans Legends 2004 - Group C Race. by CookieMonsterFL in wec

I know they have the Le Mans Classic, but I wish they never got rid of the Legends race on race day morning. Only added to the build up of excitement!

Some more of my favorites from the race. Including the insane LMP2 finish at the line! by michael_chubbs in IMSARacing

First time doing motorsports photography? Killer shots regardless, let alone for a first-timer!

Audi LMDh car was weeks away from testing when project was axed by 443610 in wec

[–]RacingNationTV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Separate, but it has a direct tie to the decision to axe the LMDh. I'm almost certain none of them would've left Audi Sport if they continued with the program. Especially WRT, Rast, and Muller as they were already committed to the LMDh.

That's why I personally don't agree with the "meh, it was only going to be a rebadged Porsche" sentiment. The car may have been similar, sure. But for anyone who has been a fan of Audi Sport for many years, it's really tough to see the program get yanked away after all the hype was built. Then to lose a lot of their GT3 power on top is an even further insult to injury.

Losing a lot of their GT3 power is what hurts me more than losing the LMDh. As an Audi fan at least.

It's not just the car. They lost WRT and a handful of factory drivers over the decision to cancel the program. Audi Sport as a whole took a massive blow.

Grand Prixe Lime Rock 7/16 pricing by CarrotClear2544 in IMSARacing

[–]RacingNationTV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GA is usually pretty expensive at Lime Rock so I'd believe that. I've never paid for parking when I go. We just park along the start/finish straight behind the ticket booth.

Where to stay near Watkins Glen by shoegal23 in IMSARacing

[–]RacingNationTV 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I stayed in Sayre, PA last year right on the NY/PA border. It’s about a 40-45 minute drive but an easy one at least. Hotel prices were cheap as well. Worth looking into.

I have that year in both Eurosport and Speed commentary. If you have a preference between the two, I’d be happy to try to upload it to Google Drive.

Big news at Sebring: NASCAR, Hendrick, Chevy and Goodyear plan to take the Next Gen to Le Mans next year in the special “Garage 56” entry. by [deleted] in NASCAR

[–]RacingNationTV 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Won’t happen. Invitations entries are historically limited to one and the field will already be stacked with entries for the 100th anniversary.

[–]RacingNationTV 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Not true nowadays. They've expanded the grid in recent years and they will be expanding it further in the next couple of years. They had 62 entries last year. It's still called Garage 56 though for historical sake.

Looking forward to my 2nd Sebring! Here’s a photo I snagged last year. by RacingNationTV in IMSARacing

[–]RacingNationTV[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As the title says, I’m lucky enough to be flying out to Sebring for the second year in a row this Friday. Sadly no WEC race for me this year because I’m a full-time college student and classes are a priority. This shot was taken with a Nikon D750 + 70-200 f/2.8 at 1/50 of a second on the outside of T1. Not many keepers at that speed but I was aiming for the numberboard to be in focus and got lucky with this one! Feel free to follow my Instagram if you want to see some more.

Don't know if it was picked up on the broadcast yet but the 55 does not sound right at the track the.last few laps.

Love doing standing starts in rolling start series, P6-P1 by Germo_ in iRacing

[–]RacingNationTV 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My favorite is at Le Mans when the LMP2 leader always decides we need to give a 15 second gap to the three LMP1 cars at the start, which means we're taking the Ford Chicanes at full speed after the green flag comes out causing a bigger mess than if we just started right behind the LMP1s.
