LM Classic newbie question.

[crossle]

This will be my first trip to the Classic, having been to the "regular" 24 hours several years ago.

Can anyone tell me if the shuttle bus runs during the classic? The one that picks up at Mulsanne corner/Arnage corner/Main entrance?

Thanks

Dunno. I asked the same question a couple of months ago.No response. Its only a 3.5k walk!!!

Guess we get there and find out.

I had a look on the Le Mans Classic website last night, but couldn't see any reference to it. There's a 'train' thing which seems to run from Tetre Rouge down about at far as the Porsche curves, via the village, but couldn't see anything which would ferry you down to Arnage and Mulsanne.

We're taking bikes this time (first time with bikes, so will see how knackered we end up !!) for that very reason, but only because we have the luxury of space to lug them there and back.

Hmmm, you *may* be in luck:

"Don't miss … the vintage buses

Vintage buses are part of the Le Mans Classic scenery. But they are not only figurants taking you from one to another part of the circuit!

On Saturday, just after the parades and Club track laps, it is possible to go for a ride along the big Le Mans circuit aboard one on these machines from the past."

Maybe a COINCIDENCE, but I suspect this is Nick's beer-money-spinning wheeze to give people rides in his "chip van"

When I mentioned the vintage bus rides round the circuit to dad, his comment was "why would we pay to go on some old bus when we have one of our own ??"

I did point out that *maybe* it might stand out somewhat. Not much, but just a bit....

We too are LMC virgins, having regularly attended the 24 over the past 9 years.

What is the score with the town on Friday night, I appreciate there will be a lot less attending, but is there still a "party" vibe?

Cheers
