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!

I completely missed that Marshall Pruett broke the Genesis story a week ago in a Logan Sargeant for ESPN.

IndyCar? IMSA? After F1, what comes next for Logan Sargeant?
After his F1 exit, American Logan Sargeant has tested in IndyCar and IMSA, but he doesn't know where he'll drive in 2025. And he's OK with that.

Side note from this big news from Genesis but it would be nice to see Ford come out with a LMDh that uses Fords current 5.0L Coyote v8 attached to a new hybrid system. Let that thing rev like the Cadillac and compete with it too in the sound department. There's a lot of cars using twin turbo v6 and v8s not enough NA goodness.

Has anyone that’s been to the 24 hours of Le Mans able to explain to me where a General Admission (standing) ticket gives you access to throughout the week?
I’ve found a couple of tickets for the week long event in 2025 and am wondering how many places around the circuit you can watch from, that aren’t grandstands. And if General Admission tickets would maybe grant you access to the grandstands during practice and qualifying?
Are there shuttle services running within the circuit that could also help in getting from place to place?
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated! I’ve been watching the race since around 2005 but this would, hopefully, be my first year attending! Thanks

Most of the best spots are around the top of the track where the grandstands are, and you also have access to Porsche curves, Indianapolis and Arnage, I believe. However, there's quite a lot of the track that is not accessible, presumably because much of it is public road and the neighbouring land is private property.
You do get access to the stands for Test Day and practice sessions, though the website isn't totally clear - it says 'both Practice Sessions' but there's 4..? I assume they are not open for qualifying sessions. There is also one grandstand that is open to GA ticket holders right at the start/finish line, where I watched the end of the 2014 race. It was awesome, and I didn't know it was open to everyone. I'd imagine it'll be full alot of the time, but I was surprised at how easy it was to get in for the end of the race. I watched the start of the race at 'S de Tertre Rouge' (looking back up the track towards the Dunlop bridge) and it was fantastic.
Don't know about that, I was on foot the whole time. Hopefully someone who has been there more recently can answer that one!
What are you doing for accommodation? I also have a ticket but I'm not likely to go because accom is quite hard to find and the campsites are already fully booked. If you are going by car, however, you should have no problem finding somewhere to stay. It was awesome and the museum is a must-see as well, and you get 1 free visit to that with your ticket.

Back to the reason I came to the thread... I'm swithering whether I should go to LM this year. My memories of my trip with a bunch of other
ers in 2014 was so good that I seriously doubt that I could ever top that, esp. going by myself.

I may agree, even though it's a big if.
He simply doesn't move my feelings at all

Ferrari’s 2025 driver line-up is already set, as well as the customer AF Corse entry. If Perez does land a seat with the team, it’ll be for 2026.
