Camping Beauséjour access to the inside of Porsche Curves

[davidd]

Morning,

Just wondering if anyone can recall how direct the access is to the curves from the campsite? Ie do we have to go out of the gate, round and back in or is there direct access (I have crafted a very helpful arrow).?

Also is there a screen viewable from the inside of the curves?

Thanks

D

When I have been to the classic you can view the Porsche Curves without leaving the campsite. You walk through the wood, into another grass area, up the bank, and you are there. Most of that last grass area is occupied by one of the tour companies. Can't remember which one.

Excuse the very quick screen snip.

There's a fence along the red line, so you have to go further to get through the little woods and double back on yourself to get to the curves.



There is a footpath to the allotment side of the red line. So depending on where you are camped it might be quicker to go out to the road, head towards the roundabout and you'll see the footpath on your left.

Aha ok that helps thanks. We might be quicker to go via the main gate and back in. Either way it's going to be a lot quicker than getting back from our seats in the dunlop stand after the race.

Yes I can see it is a long way round if you start from the campsite entrance. If I was choosing a pitch I would be heading for the southern part of the campsite. In which case the relative distances change.

The toilets and showers are heavily used and often have Qs. If you have a paddock you have access to the facilities there which include showers and tend to be clean and quiet. Just pop your wash bag and towel in a small rucksack.

We are in 1st tickets/PH private so no real issues with Q's and I generally shower at night at LM.

You mean the footpath next to the allotments that the ACO decided to man with a single person during the race last year? The lady was doing her best but there was no way she could scan people both in and out faster than they were arriving from each side so think I spent longer trying to get in/out than actually watching (having squelched through the BJ mud going to the old entrance to find it no longer there)!

I assume you can go out the front and along the road and in?

I’m in the 1st tickets site and it seems like it’s a bit of a toss up between going deep into Beausejour or out the main entrance and back in at the road.

There is an entry/exit about 400m from the curves as others have said past the allotments. Usually, they have 2 or 3 manning it. Take a right from the roundabout and it's 100m on the left.

Think 1st Tickets is pretty close to exit (directly north to roundabout on screenshot (top bit of yellow line doesn’t look right))

So probably shorter and quicker going out and back in and a lot less cars and dust or mud that way. Path by allotments was easy in and out on most days last year and we only had 30 seconds or so waits for scanning.

You can see the marker for it on that map. I think the entrance/exit will be on the road immediately next to that marker.

You are right. I wonder if that top part of the yellow marker is right. I would have thought it would go through the main entrance for Beausejour which is to right where the roundabout is.

Sorry, should have said. I'm basing my experience on the Classic, where crowds and queues are smaller/shorter.

Yes the drawing is a little out the roadway is through the beusejour entrance by the roundabout, currently it is showing that you go through Travel Destinations Glamping site and there will be no access During the event.

Also there is a fence as you come through the forest on the Porsche Curves side and you need to access through a gate. Can be difficult to negotiate during busy periods so give plenty of time.
