Viewing Start At Arnage or Mulsanne Corners

[jpchenet]

Has anyone watched the start from the corenrs at Arnage or Mulsanne?

Just wondered about doing something different maybe, and thought seeing the cars come through all grouped together might be interesting?

You going to move Lagache up to Arnage then, Mark??

Tink, Dan and Rob went to Arnage last year mainly as there was plenty of shade from the sun. They rated it very good. I shall see if I can get Tink to post his thoughts up here. He only occasionally logs on.

Now there's an idea Del!!! 

We buy enough Grandstand seats to have one between two people so everyine gets to watch either the start or the finish from the Stand. I had the start last year so I'm guessing I'll miss out this year!

It's a toss up at the moment between going down to Arnage, or joining The Tw@ts on the terraces!

If that doesn't work out either, you can join us Mark. We will bring plenty of refreshments in two big roller bins and lots of orange smoke!!! I will watch the finish from the stands.

Unless the fleshpots of Deauville have a stronger pull

Always watch the start from Mulsanne corner. Plenty of space and shade further along from the corner, we sit their and walk up to the corner when you want.
We also meet up with some Dutch guys every year.
We camp at BS and cycle, taking the dirt track through the woods to cut out the long road loop they detour you from Arnage the Mulsanne.
Good to watch from and you can pop into Arnage on the way back. Although we missed Arnage last year as we weaved back to camp last year, never made the shampoo bar either after a delayed curry due to half our lot riding into a ditch and taking an extra hour and a half to get back.

We took a cricket set one year and whilst waiting for the race to start, tried to teach some Dutch guys how to play cricket. We had a large audience of bemused French spectators wondering what the hell we were doing .
Mind you, watching Rhino try to explain (in a very drunken way) the rules of cricket to our foreign friends was worth the trip itself!!

Always a good atmosphere at mulsanne and a good view of the cars. The cricket pitch isn't up to much though!

I think it was a crater near one end which caught a few out

And ther was me thinking it was your googlies

Better than your no balls.

I thought we were never going to mention that again

Cricket??? I don't even understand that sport sober, let alone wasted.

Lucky for us, the americans turned it in to baseball, easier to understand, just as boring to watch.
