Going to Petit LeMans for the first time, what to know?
Planning to get tickets to Friday/Sat, never been to Petit before. I don't know where to go or what to bring with me? Any tips for a first timer?
Probably won't be able to drive the vette as 3 are coming with, so no Corral

What can you bring in, and what restrictions are there around the track? Can I just bring a cooler and sit it out with some foldout chairs and watch?
Not seeing Hospitality passes, just the corral passes and "premium spectator viewing" tickets in addition to the superticket.

Hospitality pass may have been only at VIR is equivalent to the "premium spectator viewing" but may want to find out for sure.
I know at VIR the hospitality pass gave you upper deck viewing as well as food/drinks with chairs and tents provided...that way you are not walking around with crap all day, back and forth to the car.

Go here,,, www.roadatlanta.com Just follow links at top of page.
Tells you about everything you need or want to know.
One of the best viewing areas is on the inside of turns 9/10. There are very few places that you cannot get right up to trackside. Another good area is by the essess.
Bring earplugs!!!!
Have a safe trip and I know you will enjoy it!!!
Better call about tickets NOW,,before they are all gone!!!!!

Going for my sixth time this year. Take chairs, cooler with drinks/snacks and comfy shoes. Wear cool clothes and have a jacket in case the weather swings.
I think you can get corral tickets but not the corvette corral parking pass. Get an infield parking pass then go to the corral to cool off, lunch, drinks and presentations. It makes the day much nicer when you have shelter to rest.
It's a great event.

Will be my 5th year in a row attending.
Unfortunately even though I have Corvette Corral tickets and parking pass, since I ordered the tickets I have gotten rid of my Corvette as I need 4 seats and 4 doors
Anyone looking to buy tickets.
