« on: June 04, 2004, 02:49:23 pm »
Hello all great forum
After years of following Le Mans I am going for my first time this year.
I am going by coach with genral tickets.
Any tips on good viewing spots?

Get to the start line by 1.30 (looks like at least a few of us will be op Garage 88) and nab a spot watch the start, go up to Esses at dusk via the Poo bar and then Tetre Rouge in the dark - have a kip. Make your way back to the main enterance first thing in the moring and catch the shuttle bus down to Arnage. Be sure to start back by mid day so that your back at the finish line and in time to catch your coach (assuming that it will leave promptly - most do) because the service stops prety quickly after the race - so I have heard.
Have a good one!!

I depends what you want from it.
You're obviously not going to spend 24 hours in there, but we watch the build up to the start, the start and finish plus some bits in between when we just want a reasonable sit down for a while.

Plus, if it's pissing down, you stay dry (unless you're in one of the uncovered stands)

Welcome

Once you're hooked , next year you can do it propertly and camp, catch a plane then train if you don't want to drive.
There is too much to do , 24 hours just isn't enough time!

Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
