LeMans Classic - Good Vantage Points Around The Circuit?

[T3LLIOTT]

First time going to LeMans, so wanted a few suggestions of parts of the circuit to visit to get a good view of the on-track action. I haven't opted for grandstand tickets, as I can't stay in the same place for very long and enjoy viewing races from different vantage points. I know Goodwood is a much smaller scale, but I will regularly walk the entire circuit track side, so would this sort of thing be possible at LeMans? I also have a paddock pass, so will look forward to getting up close to the cars.

I'm camping in Beausajour, which (in theory) should be a central part for most of the track and make make everything more accessible (although I understand most/all of the off-track activities will be near the start/finish straight).

The public viewing areas are mostly on the permanent parts of the track, you can only watch the road section from viewing points at Arnage and Mulsanne Corner.

The main public area runs from the Ford Chicane to the Tertre Rouge corner and you'll have access to both side from most of that area.

The good thing about Le Mans is that the events are long enough for you to explore and find spots to your taste.

Beausejour might technically be in the middle of the track but is in fact the furtherest flung campsite, so I hope you have your walking boots.

Thanks for the post. Some good information in there. I won't worry too much about the walking distance, as I'm always on my feet. Although I have been debating taking my road bike for when I want quick access to a certain point. Would this be allowed?

I assume it will be a 30/45 minute walk from Beausejour to the main village? Whereas Beausejour to Arnage will be significantly shorter.

Really don't know what to expect on the whole, as it's such a big space and large event. Will people be staying up the majority of the night and sleep at specific times so they see their favorite set of cars at night, or will that be decided at the time.

Some great spots to visit, thanks for everyone's suggestions! Really looking forward to the event, apart from the monotonous drive down the M1...
