Question about Parking (Rouge) for a long period

[vincegail]

My allocation for Tertre Rouge campsite tickets has since long been spoken for, but an extra mate of mine wants to join in to the fun. Very good, the more the merrier! But this brings along logistical issues. I can not get him in on Tertre Rouge with his car, so he bought a parking ticket for Parking Rouge. The parking is actually called that, and is in the Red Parking area, of course.
On his ticket is mentioned that it valid June 14th till June 16th, so friday till sunday. But he arrives on thursday afternoon! Parking is free on that parking apparently during qualifying, so no guaranteed place. Is this the case for all (Red) Parkings, ie. Expo, Rotonde? Can he leave his car there from thursday afternoon till sunday afternoon?

Parking Rouge is in a different area to Parking Expo and Parking Rotonde. Parking Rouge is accessed from Avenu du Panorma which runs parallel to the dual carriageway and you access the circuit across a pedestrian bridge. That area is open for practice but I think it might be closed on the Friday but fairly sure I have seen cars in it and I think it might be marshalled so if you are in it you can get out, whether they will let you back in is a different question! However if he has a parking ticket for that area and parks up during practice on Thursday I would be inclined to try and speak to the marshalls then, and just leave the parking ticket visible in the car.

Thank you Chris, this is exactly what I wanted to hear! And on friday his car can stay where it is, no mad friday shenanigans!
