I remember you talking about this from one of your chats from your motel room when the announcement came out in regards to the NASCAR release. You highly doubted that they would do this but wished they would. They must have been listening to you.
As long as the costs to have exhibition space at a major Motorsport event are affordable, it's a no brainer to be there, where not only some of the market is, but potentially a new market. At Le Mans there were a decent range of independent sellers/retailers until 2022. As the big anniversary for the race,100 years, was due in 2023 I'm sure they really hiked the prices for a pitch. As a result many of the spaces under the grandstands on the pit straight are either empty or have non specialist retailers. I noticed in 2023 that a big German online retailer if model cars and Motorsport books hadn't turned up, they still advertise in magazines in England, France and Germany. Also a major french slot car shop hadn't returned, they dealt with all the brands and associated spares, plus diecast, Motorsport books and really quite rare specialist car racing magazines from the Hiro Japanese brand. So I am really pleased that this initiative from NASCAR and Carrera is happening, I wish it every success, trust you get your accreditation Dave and have a great time .
Well done Dave! Hope it’s going well there!
