FFFFast food
« on: March 18, 2004, 07:47:55 pm »
I really fancy the idea of eating in the resturant des Hunandieres on the mulsaine straight. The view must be excellent.  :o Anyone got any tips for getting seats in there. Is it possible or do you need to book years in advance?

They have to shut the windows now. They do have an open barbecue which you dont have to  book for, just turn up and peer over the fence at the track.
We stay on the campsite behind, pop in for a beer.

The view is not brilliant and over the last five years it has gradually got worse and worse.

If you haven't been to that spot before though, it is a must visit spot...

If it's fast food you're after, I do a good line in saveloy and curry sauce, plus, if you order two portions, I'll throw in a pickled egg.

Also, I'm thinking of having the chip van roof strengthened so that you can spectate the race from there.

Just look for the flag......

How tall will the chip van be? After all you would be watching from England :D :D

You can get to it either from the Tetre Rouge or Mulsanne ends by car - have a look at the 1:25,000 map elsewhere on the forum (sorry can't remember where) and you will see a road that parallels (broadly) the Mulsanne, which is where the happy gendarmes direct everyone to avoid collisions with racing cars on the Mulsanne.   You will se a small spiders web of roads between that road and the Mulsanne straight - the restaurant is amongst that lot and is marked on the map as "Les Hunaudieres" - it's about a third of the way down the Mulsanne, a few hundred yards shy of the first chicane (the Expo hall roundabout).

Sorry - that isn't awfully helpful, is wrong and apologies for being lazy and relying on decaying brain cells.   The map is here:

Follow the Mulsanne down from Tetre Rouge until you see group of buildings called "Le Camp" the groupo on the ouside of the circuit is the restaurant area - look to the east (right) and you'll see the parallel-ish road a kilometre or so away that the gendarmes divert you down - look for La Chesnaire and Le Gue and those are the roads that lead you down to the restaurant area
