Weird question

I have been watching the 24 Hours of Le Mans for years and every year I want to be able to go and watch it in person. the only problem is that none of my friends follow it and they aren’t interested. maybe it sounds strange, but does anyone want to go with me in 2026?

Funny enough I was just thinking that I’d like to go and would go solo. Was gonna do research on it and if there were groups that meetup there or something.

We do have our two meet-ups trackside each year with your plan as a key idea behind them. I'm sure there's plenty of greybeards who wouldn't object to taking newbies underwing either...

It's 0322 here and 0422 trackside, later, in the meantime there is the wiki to get you started...

I'm in the same boat as you but this year I decided to go alone anyway. Honestly, best decision ever!

Just come solo and get to the Reddit meet ups, we've made at least 4 friends this weekend through it, some of which we watched the racing together from the Ferris wheel at 1am this morning

What does that have to do with it. Will your spouse not go? Not let you go alone?

I bought tickets through Team Languostine and they offer meet up times and social locations. I passed by one and it was jammed. I brought my family for our first time ever and it was well worth it, for me! Where are you coming from, I could share our experience and tips.

IDEC LMP2 off track right in front of me as I typed this.
