We met with our contact at the ACO earlier today, who informed us that they have found an unplanned "feature" of the parking and camping passes.

The passes are printed on new style/type of thermal paper for 2012. The "feature" is that details of the pass, including bar code are likely to disappear if the pass is exposed to more than 30 mins of sunlight!!

They have asked us to let customers and PHrs know of this problem and request that you only put the pass in your windscreen as you arrive at your campsite or parking area. Once parked, they recommend that you turn the pass round in its pouch (or put it somewhere safe) to avoid it going completely black and unusable.

This is a genuine request and will hopefully reduce issues during the week of race. If we are told anything more we will certaninly let you know.
