Depends what you want. We usually avoid it, go for a drive to the south, find somewhere for lunch...

It's Classic British Welcome but anyway, what about the Drivers' parade in LM town and walking the Pit Lane?

There used to be little gathering in the square at Mulsanne a few years ago. Has that ceased?

Pit walk - chance to look around village area before big crowds there.

Mulsanne corner - nice organised gathering, parking along the circuit. Old LM cars and classics (Jaguar theme this year). Similar idea but quieter than CBW. My alternative to CBW now.

CBW. Good but didnt do it last year as repeated it 3-4 years in a row. Almost become too busy and needs more space, traffic management.

Drivers parade later... but you need to get in earlier if parking or wanting a decent spot. Might try it again this year, but it just seems to run so slowly.

Museum visit

yep

As is the case every few years, another Aston do is on at Hotel de France this year so the square itself will be Aston parking only

Our convoy to La Chartre will be 993 GT1, 993 GT2, CGT, 2x GT4, F40 (or possibly Miura), 488 GTB, V12 Vantage roadster and DB7 Vantage
