Frequently Asked Questions
When should I book Lone Star Le Mans transportation?
For 2026 race weekend (Sep 4–6), book 3 weeks ahead for premium-vehicle availability. Le Mans weekend demand is materially lighter than F1 weekend at COTA, so last-minute is more often possible — but cannot be guaranteed for Sprinter Executive or Escalade ESV.
How long does it take to get to COTA from Austin-Bergstrom on Le Mans weekend?
20 minutes off-peak via SH-71 E. Le Mans weekend is significantly lighter traffic than F1 — allow 30–40 minutes on Saturday morning when the 6-hour race attendees arrive, but otherwise plan off-peak times.
Do you offer multi-day Le Mans weekend packages?
Yes — most weekend clients book a multi-day package covering Thursday-through-Sunday hotel ↔ COTA round-trips plus evening dinner runs. WEC support races run Thursday–Saturday alongside the main event, so multi-day pricing is meaningfully cheaper than separate-leg booking.
How does dedicated chauffeur work for the 6-hour endurance race?
The 6-hour race itself drives an 8–10 hour hourly window on race day — chauffeur drops you in the morning, re-stages off-track, and is curbside at the end of the endurance window. Hotel return + dinner runs are included in the same window without re-billing.
Do you handle private aviation transfers for Le Mans weekend?
Yes — AUS jet center, Austin Executive (KEDC), and San Marcos Regional (KHYI) are all covered. Planeside pickup is coordinated with the FBO on tail number and ETA so your vehicle is engine-side as you deplane.
What vehicle should I pick for a Le Mans group of 6 with team guests?
For 4–7 guests the Cadillac Escalade ESV is the default pick. Comfortable for the long endurance day, fits the paddock-credentialed drop-off lane. For 8+ delegates (manufacturer hospitality, sponsor groups), step up to Mercedes Sprinter Executive.
