My first year was 1989 , I ve missed one year apart from Covid . My group from Liverpool ,Newcastle , Scotland , down south etc. The group has grown and shrunk year over year. But a discussion will take place at Le Mans next year about 2026 , most of the proposals do not include being at LM after next year , The ACO should hang their head in shame over their mistreatment of members and supporters.

You are not the only ones thinking this. I know several in the same situation and I do feel the whole ACO selling out in 30 minutes and crashing multiple times is a farce. No loyalty anymore, just a cash cow.

Plus the campsites are crap, and too far away.  Food, drink and souvenirs are very expensive.  They must make good money out of the corporate hospitality to treat the public so badly.  It was better during the covid years when you could watch on big TV for next to nothing.

He ought to be ashamed!

I'm another who will not be returning in 2025 after 22 years attending.
Huge price rises, to crowded and it's lost it's magic IMHO.

For me, no magic has been lost at all.  It's still incredibly good value when you go for the full week.  And the races themselves have been vastly better over the last 2 years (and that's what I go for).  But the ticketing experience is becoming a lottery, even for those who have supported the ACO through thick and thin for many years.  That's what saddens me.

You never know they might have improved by 2026 and do tickets better. To me it is still good value compared to GP. Saddened that the campsite and ticket sales are such a shitshow. Having been on Terte Rouge and uncertainty about tickets, our group have split campsites, two of us have signed up for Team Langoustine, and the others are waiting for what the ticket agency have offered, find out mid December.
Since we have been going we have lost many campsites. Started camping on the Mulsanne behind the cafe. Official one closed without warning. Fortunately the farmer behind opened up. After a few years that closed. Another field was found, but we did not want to take the risk of that one closing so next year we had tickets for BSJ when you could camp in the field next to Porche curves. That went private campsite. Onwards to Technopark, 2 years and that closed. Then Maison Blanche and finally Terte Rouge.
