2016 NCM Le Mans Viewing Party On June 18-19, 2016 the world’s greatest car manufacturers will battle at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Through special arrangement with the ACO, three locations outside of France will be given commercial free, direct feed of the race… Berlin, Tokyo and Bowling Green, Kentucky at the National Corvette Museum. We are planning to show the race on our 28 foot giant screen in the Chevrolet Theater, with live timing and scoring, refreshments during the entire 24 hours, private Skypes hourly from the Corvette Racing team and door prizes. We think this will be the next best thing to being there yourself! Space will be very limited – pre-registration early is of the essence! Registration for this event is $100 per person and will include:
Security will cover the front grass circle entrance door (parking lot A entrance) from 5:00pm – 8:00am so you are free to come and go at your leisure. RV parking is allowed in the truck parking lot for this event only. Bring in your sleeping bags, blankets, pillows, etc for an all night stay in the NCM. All activities are open to Event Registrants only. |

This looks like a lot of fun!!
If you can't go to the Corral, this sounds like the 2nd best option! We went to a viewing party at the Riverside Raceway Museum a few years back. It was for the first F1 race at COTA. A small, but dedicated crowd, and Bob Varsha gave our little crew a shout out! Whoo-hoo! It is a fun way to gather and watch. If we were closer, we would be there! |

We went to this last year and it was a blast. We stayed up the entire 24 hours and you will get the chance to interact with the team, drives and of course Doug. Several "camped" out on the floor in front of the big screen. There were enough plugs to plug in phones and laptops. If I wasn't going to Le Mans this year we would definitely go back for the viewing. It was a lot of fun!

You all will, I am sure, get to meet!
That'll be super cool! I will update this thread later tonight with a couple of restaurant suggestions for Paris. |
