Best place to watch the start

[Vocal Minority]

On my last visit we watched the start from the terracing by the start finish line, with the big screen to keep track of the first hour or two.

We were thinking of moving round to Tetre Rouge this time (we never made it that far round last time for some reason), would on the inside or the outside of the circuit be better re seeing the action and screens etc?

Any other recommendations?

I did the start finish line start for many years but now watch the start from somewhere between the dunlop bridge and tertre rouge, by then the field is beginning to sort it's self out but is still all together, often get a few bumps and overtakes as they all stream through

We usually watch the start from mulsanne as we camp there. Usually get a bit of action there and there is a big screen to. Drop in and say hi

If you want a screen you'll need to be on the inside of Tertre Rouge corner (unless they change the positions from the last few years and give Tertre Rouge campers our telly back)

I normally sit on the downhill section between the Dunlop bridge and the esses. there used to be a big screen there which was great but last year it was absent. The inside of Tertre Rouge is a good spot, there's a screen to watch but it does get packed plus you don't see the cars for as long. A few years ago we made the trek up to Mulsanne corner for the start. I'd thoroughly reccomend doing that although you do feel a bit detached. Also somebody has to drive so no drinking!!

Always watched the start from La Sarthe tribune. Fantastic as the cars come round all together and then head up the pits straight for the start...and the noise! There is a screen opposite too.

This year we're in the ACO grandstand so we're anticipating a very different LM experience. I suspect we may be back to La Sarthe next year!

A left field suggestion but having watched from most places in the main tribune we went out to Indianapolis and Arnage. What you lose in terms of atmosphere during the build up you gain for being so close to the best wheel to wheel racing at the start

Lots of good ideas, cheers chaps. Lots to discuss with the group over the stubbies on Friday

In a grandstand.

The inside bank of Porsche curves is my usual, you can hear them nailing it from Arnage corner

the aco granstand

Arnage is where we watch from, they now have a big screen there but you need to be in situ early as near to the screen gets pretty crowded.

When I've not gone for a grandstand I've always gone to Maison Blanc and stood on the bank just before the Ford Chicane. There is nothing better than at 2:59.50 as the whole field comes round ready for hell to be let loose. Also there is a big screen for watching the rest of the action.
