PH meet on Friday in jeopardy ?

[Bobo W]

I wouldn't worry too much about this until it is confirmed but there are rumours circulating that the road between Mulsanne corner & Porsche Curves will be closed from Wednesday pm till after the race.

Far fetched maybe, but knowing the French propensity to spoil our fun, not beyond the realms of possibility.

[Guy Humpage]

If you look at the link I posted in the main PH Meet thread the rumour of road closures has been denied by someone 'who knows someone at the ACO'.

[DustyC]

Incase of a road closure in that area I propose we meet at the Sports Shop half way down the Mulsanne straight, outfield of the circuit.

Hopefully someone will remember the name of this place.
It is a big modern white wharehouse with glass front and has a large car park. Its a bit further up than the mulsanne straight resturuants and on a roundabout.

Its also opposite the big doomed exhibition building which is infield (ie, other side of mulsanne straight).

What do you all reckon?

We are all doomed...

Adam, As its my 1st time is ther any chance someone can show it on a Pic / Map..?

[Bobo W]

Guy, didn't see your post, sorry for repeating.

[DustyC]

Im looking for the best one at the moment.

i have an aerial shot I took of it last year but thats at home. If its any good I'll post it up tonight.

In the mean time I'll keep looking.

[DustyC]

another idea is to meet at the entrance of your campsite between 10 - 10:30 and all leave from there. Might make it easier for first timers.

(well, for all of us actually. I guess my way round that place everytime. The police dont help by constantly changing the Arnage corner one way system!)

[DustyC]

If it all fails, meet by the bridge!

[shnozz]

like the thought of campsite collections myself...

[shnozz]

ps - dustyc - did you get my e-mail?

[DustyC]

Here is a pic of the "doomed" building I was mentioning.

The Sportswarehouse is to the right of this on the other side of the Mulsanne straight.


shnozz, I think i emailed you back but I'll check for updates.

Aha

We snuck into this area last year at about 2 am, and watched from the stands for a while until the kicked us out at about 3:30 am

I do believe you are correct.

If you have the Autosport guide go to page 46.

The is a circuit map.

The mulsanne straight is the N138.
The road that crosses it byt the roundabout is the D92.
I believe the sports shop is near this roundabout.

obviously is as thats the wrong one!

[N17 TVR]

Is Arnage / Indianapolis still the primary meeting place and the Sportshop that isnt on the map the contingency ?

Curses, I hoped no-one would spot my deliberate mistake. (updated to show the 'Ruaudin' branch...
