Anyone know what the score is for parking at/near the circuit for this weekends test day ?

I'm guessing there's restricted facilities (like food/drink etc) as it only a 'day' event ?

For future info:

- Parking was free and right outside both main entrances and in camping areas by Dunplop Bridge
- Entry was free on Sunday if you had a GA ticket, or 20E if not
- Access (free, whatever) on Friday PM and Saturday - full open pitlane (but no cars on track)
- All Grandstands were accessible, free
- Reasonable number of hot food/drinks stalls around main area (not sure about the outlying regions)
- Only official ACO Boutiques seemed to be open
- Free Le Maine Newspaper on entry with latest team, car, driver info
- Radio LeMans was broadcasting in English
- Lots of locals take the chance to go
- Museum open, inc snack bar
- Surprised at the attendance (ie - it's a mini-event in its own right)
- Loved the fact the N138 was open, then overnight it's changed into a race track !
- 8 hours of 'testing', split into two 4 hr slots
- Never realised 90% of teams had turned up last week and will be there until after the event
- Hotels cheap & plentiful (some with race teams in)
- Ferry journey back last night was horrendous due to weather - but hey that's life frown

Hope that helps convince anyone to go next year smile
