Things to do during raceweek (updated list)
« on: May 23, 2016, 12:35:21 pm »
For an article on the blog, I'm making a list of things to do during raceweek (might be useful to add to the guide too).
So far, I've got these events :

* Scrutineering
* Ceremony of hands
* Museum : American expo
* Tuesday pitwalk autograph session
* Virage Mulsanne (http://www.viragedemulsanne.org/viragedemulsanne/index.php/fr/) >> Ford
* Classic British Welcome (http://www.classicbw.org/)
* Friday pitwalk
* Parade (new route)
* Hotel de France ?  (http://www.lhoteldefrance.fr/what-to-do/hotel-de-france-history-le-mans/)
* Teloché ? (Porsche)

* CA meet Thursday
* CA meet Saturday

If you know of any other events that can be added to this list, please put them here.
Article will go online around scrutineering

Scrutineering? Not overly exciting but it'd be a fairly large omission...

The Ford event at Virage Mulsanne looks interesting on the Friday.
I tested negative for patience.

The ceremony of hands springs to mind, especially as I've never seen it and want to this year.

Great for meeting people you know and people watching. Hanging out in the sun and working up a thirst while seeing some cars up close and driver autographs / pictures if that interests you.
