Le Mans Test Day
« on: April 10, 2011, 07:32:34 pm »
Hi,
I have have never managed to get to a LM Test day. Does anyone out there know about the camping arrangements (if any!)
I would assume it may be in Maison Blanche, but don't really know as the ACO haven't listed anything about camping sites for the test day.
Also, on the Saturday scrtineering at the circuit, can you get up to the pits without too much bother and wander round, or do you have to get inventive and 'find' your own way in?

There are no campsites open that I know of but the municipal ones in surrounding villages such as Spay should be able to help.  The DFH lads are coming over and I think they have plans.  Much discussed here:

Normally scrutineering is easy to get to but there was some confusion a couple of weeks ago when Kpy phoned the circuit and was told that it would be closed to all but members.  I don't think that's the case though but I'll find out nearer the time.  I've been promised delivery of my race tickets in time for practice so that I can get in with my race GEs.

Yes, scrutineering is open.  On the Saturday it's from 09.00 to 14.00 but it always over-runs as it's usually more "fussy" than the pre-race checks and some cars often do several passes before they get through.
