Access to Pit lounges - by invitation
« on: May 14, 2009, 01:50:35 pm »
Re the above statement seen when purchasing grandstand tickets - pit lane stand

Wosit mean? invitation by whom, and why would they invite one, tried asking Peugeot uk about customer guest facilities - they said they had no plans in that direction.

Is this statement aimed at VIPS, youda thot that they would know they were invited and wouldnt be in the grandstand seating in the first place.

(Dont worry it'll be all right on the night, afternoon and day)

The Pit Lounges are simply the standing areas above the seating in T34, and anyone with a grandstand ticket anywhere can use the seating and 'pit lounges' in T34 after 5.00pm on the saturday.  Never seen the 'by invitation' before though.

I thought the pit lounges were the hospitality suites over the pits, and so you would need an invite from whoever had the lounge for Le Mans,  usually one of the teams or sponsors.
Of course I buy green cars, my Aston is green, my MGB is green, my Disco Sport is green,  oh, that's not what you meant by green?

They are, just as you say. I think DB was confused as the French use the same word - loge - for both the free-access balconies in Stand 34, and the hospitality boxes in the same complex, access to which is by invitation only.
