I'll be driving into the circuit on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, do I need to book car park tickets in advance or am I safe to just rock up and pay there and then?

Answered my own question. Yes, turns out I did need to!

Bought some for Rouge & Arnage/Mulsanne.

I assume from that comment that the ACO are also charging for access to parking at Mulsanne / Arnage for the Saturday / Sunday ?

Did anyone have any issues by just turning up at the car parks on the Saturday night as per usual ? I've had a look on the ACO ticket site and there's no sign of Arnage or Mulsanne parking tickets so I'm not going to worry getting one and will take a chance on the night, unless anyone can tell me that this is an especially bad idea wink

If you look on this PDF, http://www.lemans.org/24heuresdumans/ressources/pd... it has parking prices for all off the different car parks.

I was told that it's one ticket for Arnage and Mulsanne and I've paid £12 for it. I'd like to get down to Arnage but if the traffic is too bad I may give it a miss. For £12 I thought it was worth buying one rather than not and risking it.

We couldn't get tickets for Arnage/Mulsanne parking, for race days, last year. Made sure we ordered them early this year, as it wasn't the same not going to the corners during the night-time race. Traffic is, and always will be heavy on the way to and between these corners, and I suspect even with the ticket system, the car parking will be crammed, especially at Arnage. Did wonder whether to bother with the tickets or not, but some people said you could get in without, others said it was a definite no-no. Not worth the hassle for the small outlay.

There is also a free bus every 15 minutes (French-time - think we waited 90 minutes for one at Arnage during the night last year) or the taxi option.

Last year we got bored waiting at 3AM for the free bus to show up at the main entrance and grabbed a cab. Wasn't too expensive from memory, say E20/E5 each and am tempted to grab the number and memories the French for "I would like a taxi from LM24hr (Arnage|Mulsanne) spectator area to X" this year.
