'Unofficial' Mulsanne Viewing and any other sneaky cheats?

[StevieBee]

I've heard various tales of being able to access decent vantage points along Mulsanne that are technically not for public access but can be in return for some 'friendly inducement' to the marshals / officials on site.

Is this one of those 'a bloke down the pub said....' type things or is there any truth to it?

Are there any other sneaky cheats worth knowing about?

My interest is in finding somewhere to take photos that's not blighted by chainlink fencing!

There are some places. A hotel and restaurants that have a view over the Mulsanne straight. I don’t think anyone is going to publish the other routes as they don’t want half of Pistonheads along the barriers at Mulsanne. They can take a few hours to get to and there are police patrolling.

what he said.

Yes there are places as I've done many blackops, give yourself a decent spray of mozzie repellent, expect to get muddy as you can only do this in the dark and torches will give your position away.
work out some decent areas in daylight on Friday.

It might take you a while to get there from the UK but this might help:-



That was 1989, but on a serious note things are getting tough here. Black Ops is really the only way, since wherever you have fencing whereas we didn't in the past, as in this photo at Mulsanne:-



But with careful setting of the camera you can virtually get rid of fencing in your photos. use f16 and see what that gives.
