Title: Who - When - Where
Post by: Werner on April 18, 2011, 02:52:50 pm: In the last 2 years the majority of us was on the CA compound on BN, but looking at various threads in this forum I get the impression that this year the CA community seems to be a little more scattered over the various campsite options. So in best tradition of similar annual threads it's my honor to start this one. Please add your details and I'll put it on a page in the CA guide so we all know about eachother where we stay:

Only within the Virage d'Arnage viewing enclosure. A few years ago (probably around 2005) the viewing of Indianapolis was trimmed and most years now there are protests to "give us back our Indianapolis viewing". But there are parts of the bank where you can see the cars emerging from the forest, harder to see the folk who plough straight on into the gravel trap (which was enlarged a lot hence adjustment to viewing).

I think he meant on a Friday to watch the various sportscars driving as much of the track as you can, if so, the answer was yes last time i drove through there, a year or two back.

The last couple of years, the road between Mulsanne roundabout and the Porsche curves has been closed by les flics on the Friday.

As Del says you certainly can no longer drive through, but it may be possible to take the short walk from Arnage to Indianapolis if you're really desperate to sit on your own....

Does anyone know at what time on Thursday afternoon the circuit is closed to the public? We're travelling down with a couple of Newbies and it would be good to show them the circuit.

The Legends and other cars are qualifying from 4pm, If memory serves me right, I though it was closed from 4pm on Wednesday until after 00.00 on Thursday night.

Post by: Lorry on May 30, 2011, 06:46:14 pm: Its confusing. Now if I remember an earlier post correctly, because the ACO don't seem to have half of this as provisional yet

Wednesday starts at 4pm and has a 4 hour test session, a 2 hour break and 2 hours of qualifying.

Thursday starts at about 4pm with two 1 hour sessions for the support races, then 2 2 hour qualifying sessions at 7 and 10pm.

So the ACO will close the track about Noon, to bolt all the barriers together.

As for Friday, it depends on how much arsing around there is before the Gendarmerie close Mulsanne to Arnage, but my guess is about the same time
