It's the 'Greet the Moose' session at 9pm, timed for the gap in qualifing, technical ends when qualifing restarts, however has been known to go on longer .

Last year I wish I had accepted Smokie's offer of a lift back to MB, it had been a long day, and it was a long way back to Bleu from Tetre Rouge on foot, even declined an offer of low flyers from the Liverpool boys, I was that tired....and emotional

[DelBoy]

Thanks Barry - I'll be there.

Tertre Rouge was well attended last year. and, in the words of those great songsters D-Ream, Things Can Only Get Better...and they do, every year...

[Brian(Liverpool boys)]

Del boy, we will we there this year, and you are welcome as Barry, was last year to partake in a few low flyers before bedtime.
Not long now mate.

I got there a little later and found a rather beveraged Brian  

I'm rather partial to the draft Leffe at the Stella Bar.

As I've previously arrived on Thursday morning I've  issed this event in the past. This year however we arrive on Monday morning so I'm looking forward to seeing some familiar faces on Wednesday evening.  

And Brian, my mission this year is to drag you, Ian and Chris over to our "village" to recipricate some of your generous hospitality!!   Even if it has to be on Monday night before the majority of your visitors arrive!!

Dumb question,
Is the Srella Bar the one on the road down from the main  entrance heading towards town, just past the overbridge?.

Basically, it's not the one at the start of the Mulsanne...

[Ballast]

I'll be there as well. I'll be the grown-up looking of JP Chenet!  

All I need now is a grown-up to look after me! I've already booked a new Liver for when I get home

The Stella bar IS at Tertre Rouge (beginning of the Mulsanne) The one just up from the entrance used to be the Heinekan bar until last year when it had changed to Kronenbourg livery.

[Andy Zarse]

As JP rightle says, the one out the front of the main entrance is now a Kronenburg outlet. It's also known as Hell's Gate. Does my head in every friday before our usual trip into town.

Another Dumb Question

How do you get to it bearing in mind the road is closed, or is it on the 'open' side of the gates at Tertre Rouge?

As you're on MB DelBoy the easiest way will be to walk over with us!!  

Otherwise, leave the inside of the circuit through Parking Vert or Interieur Musee or Tertre Rouge camping and turn left. Then it's just under the bridge. If going by car, follow the "Vert" signs from Carrefour and you go past it on the approach road.

We walk round the top of the circuit, past Dunlop, go through the tunnel under the circuit just before Tetre Rouge corner. This brings you out on the inside of the corner, in the small triangular field between the allotments and Tetre Rouge. From here, go to the end of the field and out the gate (remember to get a pass out). Turn left out the gate, under the underpass that has the track on it, and the Stella Bar is on your left.
From access gate to bar is about 150m max.
Best pint of Stella you'll ever have!!!
See you there.

[pretzel]

If it's the Stella Bar you want then it's best approached on foot from inside the circuit by exiting the Bugatti Circuit at the Parking Vert entrance, turn left then walking along the road  (the Chemin des Boeufs). Go through the tunnel under the track and the bar is immediately on your left.

I wouldn't recommend driving there as there is nowhere to park, well apart from on the grass verges at risk of being moved on by the friendly gentlemen of the CRS. And anyway it somewhat defeats the object of going there in the first place......

Not only good for Stella, the Leiffe is pretty good too.
