Did we decide that we couldn't turn the guide into an app? Is there a copyright issue?
I bought the Le Mans 24h by Robert Bech from the Apple Store
This has a fraction of the information in the guide, in fact probably about 4 pages worth, but no more.
We could do a lot better with only a little effort.
Thoughts and views?

That might depend on what you include. If, for example, there was information/data lifted from the ACO's website then yes there's a copyright issue.
But if we are simply seeking to digitise our own collective wisdom then I suspect that there's no issue.
Against any possible revenue stream we need to keep an eye on costs, unless we have some clever souls who do this sort of thing for a living?
I have paid for and downloaded the last few year's of The Guide. My only criticism is that it's a very large document due, I guess, to the fantastic photos that are inserted.
As a result I wonder if there could be a "lite" version of the guide that trims down the size of the PDF to something more manageable? I'm no techno expert but suspect that if the photos are of a lower resolution or even if they are omitted from the "lite" version then the file will be that much smaller?
