Parking Lemans

[Integra99]

Almost time for the mayhem.. last minute idea is to get parking this year.. looks mostly sold out apart from Expo and P Rouge, anyone park here before.. was it ok ? Not sure of other options but dont want to leave it in Arnage this year.

Any help appreciated!

I believe you can turn up and pay to park on the day like the locals do.

I'm booking on line direct and thought I'd save the hassle.. last year we arrived late (self inflicted) and had to queue for tickets and missed the start.

Just curious whats best.. Expo, P Rouge or P Vert as spaces there!

P Rouge or Vert are both good locations for quick access to the 'village.'

I've used both but would argue in favour of Vert as the enry is inside the circuit is easier and traffic generally lighter in the couple of hours before the race depending on where you are staying of course. Rouge can be tougher to get into.

Thanks.. well last year we walked from Arnage.. so no problem walking..lol, i Just dont want a busy cramped field especially if it rains with a rear wheel drive car.. ha ha .. P Vert is inside the circuit so handy as we usually end up near there at the end of the evening on Saturday as we are camped out of town... can't wait!!

If you want certainty, ask Brian at 1st Tickets as I know he's booked/sorted parking before (& he's a PHer).

Expo /Rouge are normal gravelly car parks with a few rough tarmac and concrete tracks etc. Parked there for Classic a couple of times in different parks all fine.

But having a ticket and getting in are 2 different things as Rouge/Expo all full up when got held up in Classic traffic last time - so ended up parking down slip road to dual carriageway other side of airport and then walking for 15-10 mins in heat etc.

Bleu parking seemed more relaxed at main race last year as away from roads in form city and away from exits from main D323 dual carriageway. Pretty firm flat ground there as campsites etc and its open and windy to dry it out most of time and not boggy lush grass areas like Mulsanne car park.

Thanks all ended up at P Vert.. its nice and central and we plan to get in early Saturday.. and tend to end up central toward the end of the night so hopefully ok.. better than dumped in Arnage like last year and 25 minute walk in the heat.!
