Blancpain Paul Ricard

I'll be there on Saturday and the temperature is forecast to be 30 degrees. Is there any shade? Ie. covered grandstands?

[zebedee]

Only one grandstand I know of, no roof so you will bake! Lots of trees though, it is beautiful. Tends to be pleasant hot rather than muggy, enjoy!

[zebedee]

how was it, nice place isn't it?

[Zed 44]

Very hot but worth seeing, esp. the #23 Nissan Academy car driven by Alex Buncombe,Lucas Ordonez, and Mitsunori Takaboshi finishing 7th out of 57, ahead of so called "super cars". Made my holiday.

What's the viewing like? Looks on TV like you can only spectate from the last bend to half way down the start-finish straight

[Zed 44]

Pretty much. We didn't fancy walking around in 40 degree heat so not sure. With our paddock passes we could view from over the pits though.

you can peek through the shrubbery on the Mistral straight. Especially if they aren't running the chicane it is very, very fast there!
