Don't you have to be associated with Mercedes somehow or know someone associated with Mercedes to get thier grandstand? ...or did I hear that wrong?
Don't think so, went to the 1000Km a few years ago and with the start we sat on the Mercedes grandstand.
At the start I'll probably be at the Mercedes Grandstand, afterwards walking 'round the track. If you see someone with a 300mm Canon lens with Le Mans and Sebring stickers on the hood, it's me ...
