In the middle of the night

[cmsapms]

I'm looking for new viewing spots around the circuit.

If you head east along the road from Porsche Curves (Route de Ruaudin), there's what appears (on google earth) to be a small industrial park just before you get to the Mulsanne straight. Early doors, say around 3 on Sunday morning, how close can you get to the Mulsanne straight, and are there any viable viewing points - sleepy gendarmerie notwithstanding?

Is it possible to park anywhere round there?

We've hung off the gate at the Chinese Restaurant before now, but would like a view from the inside. Usually at that time of night, we just head off to Arnage for a wade through the litter

Cheers

The short answer appears to be no

Ay up Mr Shackleton !!!

Will keep an eye out for you - think I briefly spotted you in the car (with Steve) last year but you were going in the other direction.

Will be cruising down in my nice comfy 7 Series Beemer this year. I'm getting old...

Hello Nick.

We're staying at Chateau de Chanteloup, about 10 miles north west of the circuit. Wave your arms if you see us, and I'll re-introduce you to your brake calipers

A beemer eh? Bet you'd prefer to be in a Westy!

Ooooh, let me think...

Beemer vs. Westy:

Aircon - check
Leather seats - check
Automagic gearbox - check
Big boot - check
CD player and big speakers - check
Big 3.5 litre staight six - check
Eye-watering fuel consumption - check


Yep, I'd *much* rather be going in the Westy....
