Has anyone ever been to the Le Mans 24h scrutineering days, either as a stand-alone visit, or as part of the full 10-day schedule of the race?

I'm currently wondering whether I should bother going to the race if I could attend the scrutineering, see the cars up close and catch a full day of Free Practice at the track. I'm struggling to find hotel accommodation for the race weekend, but I reckon I might do the first few days instead of the race itself.

Any thoughts/experiences would be gratefully appreciated!

In the meantime, as part of its preparations to enter the FIA WEC, Genesis Magma Racing will cut its teeth in the European Le Mans Series with partner team IDEC Sport. This collaboration will allow Genesis team members to get up to speed with ACO rules racing before the WEC programme starts.

The ORECA 07 which Genesis will operate with IDEC Sport will be driven by former F1 driver Logan Sargeant, ex-British GT4 and W Series champion Jamie Chadwick and 19-year-old Frenchman Mathys Jaubert.

I'm assuming this is for 2025. I'm glad to see Jamie Chadwick get a drive in a prototype.

Genesis is joining WEC in 2026 and IMSA in 2027...two cars each series too.

Right but I wasn't sure if the ELMS part of it is for 2025 since they said in preparation for entering the WEC in 2026.
