Planning a trip to the 2025 Le Mans 24 hour
My friend and our wives are planning on attending the 2025 Le Mans. Looking for hints on which grandstands have the best views and which to avoid (having food drinks and toilets nearby is a plus!), logistics of getting to the track on race day and from the track after race day. Hotels? Hotels in nearby towns? Getting to the track on race day from nearby towns? Stay in Paris and take the train in? Any other on-the-ground experience that might be helpful would also be appreciated.
We've bought ACO memberships to get early access on tickets.
Budget-wise we aren't broke college kids but we aren't ballers either!

All hypercar word championship scenarios for Porsche, Toyota and Ferrari in tomorrow's 8H of Bahrain (UPDATED after Hyperpole)
Manufacturer standings (after Hyperpole):
Porsche 161
Toyota 152
Ferrari 134
Toyota wins if:
Toyota P1
Toyota P2, Porsche P4 or lower
Toyota P3, Porsche P6 or lower
Toyota P4-P6, Ferrari P2 or lower, Porsche P11 or lower
Ferrari wins if:
- Ferrari P1, Toyota P4 or lower, Porsche P7 or lower
Porsche wins if:
- Any other result
Driver standings (after Hyperpole):
Porsche #6 150
Ferrari #50 115
Toyota #7 113
Toyota #7 wins if:
- #7 P1, #6 P11 or lower
Ferrari #50 wins if:
- #50 P1, #6 P10 or lower
Porsche #6 wins if:
- #6 P9 or higher
How did Toyota #8 getting the extra point for Hyperpole change the scenarios in tomorrow's race?
Having scored hyperpole, Toyota can finish P2 in the race and with Porsche P4 they would tie Porsche in the standings at 179 points. Both manufacturers would have 3 wins and 2 second places, but Toyota would win having 1 third place against the 0 of Porsche.
Not having scored hyperpole, Ferrari lost the possibility of winning the title in a extremely remote scenario that involved both Porsche Penske to DNF, the best Toyota to finish P7 and the official Ferrari finishing P2 behind a 4th manufacturer.
The Ferrari #50 not scoring hyperpole also made the race a bit easier for Porsche #6, as their minimum title winning position in tomorrow's race, regardless of what #50 and #7 do, moves down from P8 to P9.
