I have seen photos on other sites that shows the banking on the outside of Arnage has gone. Removed. It is no more.

There is a roundabout being installed which will be sited to the south of the Arnage cross roads junction. I have seen a diagram that shows the road leaving after Indianapolis and taking a southern route across the campsite/parking area to the new roundabout. The circuit remains as is.

I'm feeling very sad. We have lost a great viewing location.

I read a post on Pistonheads that tickets would go on sale to ACO members on Tue 3 Nov 10AM CET

Me please

I'm gutted to have missed it. It would have been visible over my house if it had stuck to the route Sunderland to Boulmer. I only find out about its flight from reading on here about one hour too late.

Keep it a secret:

What was it like?

I thought it was very good. There was a single entrance with security asking to see vehicle passes and race tickets of everyone as they passed in and out whether they were on foot, in vehicle or on bike. This led to a feeling that the site was pretty secure and the situation meant it had only campers there and no persons passing through. The entrance was not opposite the Houx/HA entrance as had been thought beforehand but instead 200m further south along the road. As well as camping on the field there was access to ad-hoc camping in the trees that shield the site from the road.

There was a cosmopolitan bunch of campers of all ages - mainly tents interspersed with the usual mix of interesting vehicles. It was not too raucous but an acceptable level of late night music, bangers and iriots on motos and scooters. I didn't hear of any thieving whilst I was there, but have since read that someone had their scooters nicked.

How were the facilities?

An internal gravel circular access road with three shower and toilet areas - the one we used was regularly cleaned all weekend. We camped opposite it and the longest queue I saw for the shower would have been about ten persons. There was always hot water when I was there. There was power available for those with extension leads.

What was it like getting in and out?

No unreasonable difficulties, but arriving whilst the track is closed at the peak times of Wednesday and Thursday pm/evening will mean you have to join the traffic queue of arrivals to Houx/HA or an approach from the BSJ direction might be better?

MB aside, it will be my first choice campsite for next year.

It's wet 😅

Looks very smart in white. I'm just so happy to be going that I can manage easily without doors if it gives you four less things to do 😃

I hope to see you there Nick - have a good journey

Thanks for the photos.

For every lap of the circuit it will then do a Lap around a campsite to pick up fuel. The higher octane stuff can be found where? houx, BN or MB?

Also Done

1&3 - Having gone to the trouble of turning it from a two door to a four door and then blowing the cash on a respray to yellow, he seems to be short of a set of alloys and has stuck with his red steelies

Nutters!!!

It  looks very wet!  I hope all survived the night without SCUBA gear.

Of all the infrastructure changes the one I miss most is the loss of the trees and narrow viewing area infield of the last right hander of the esses before the  run up to Tetre Rouge. For me it was always a magical moment, picking your way along that sandy path, skirting around sleeping bodies at 2AM in the morning, pausing every  few yards to view the cars just feet to your left.
