Steve Pyro went to watch the 24hours +10 years ago, Kev Mk3 is a frequent visitor to the ring for TF and track days, they'll be able assist.
I understand you can have all 4 seasons in 1 lap at the ring.
From the drivers POV, racing a Dacia in the 24hours 2021.

There were strict limits on spectators this year at the ring. That's why it look very civilised. Normally there are some big groups playing thrash metal the whole week in the run up to the race, lots of stages set up in the campsites and permanent bonfires going......just ask Steve about bonfires >:D

To be honest Jules, it was all a bit of a booze fuelled blur :-0
Yes, there are normally big set ups playing very loud, very appalling 'music' (I sound like my dad!) The main GP circuit is reasonably accessible but, depending upon where you are camping, the remainder of the humongous circuit is a challenge to get to.

late to the party but they have what ever beer you carry in short or what ever the locals give you as its bonkers. They have local bit burger on draft at a few spots not many though as the locals line up over a week before to get in once the gates open to set up. I found it strange that the sunday of the race by mid day the place is deserted as they have packed up, cleaned up and gone.
Its a great race but ALOT of walking. Something I will do again but not for a while tbh
