We're a resourceful lot. Whether the ACO have finished cannibalising the circuit or not we'll find somewhere to gather!!

In 6 weeks my moto bike is going to get a good thrashing to le mans for the 24hour bike weekend. I shall investigate.

Ohh Gary... another photo from that website shows the EXACT spot of the old poo bar!  In fact,  I think that you can still see Paddy's old beerglass tower from 2000 feet!!!   Shocked

Looks odd seeing the place so empty tho!

H, we've all be involved in large scale projects before?  Surely the fabric of the new buildings would be in place by PQ's?  At least that might tell us a few truths?

What do ya think?

Wotcher FS,
For what it's worth I think it'll be finished, simply because unlike us, the French don't mess around when it comes to construction projects -  and I would bet the contractor penalty clauses are frightening. I mean, they've had years to plan this after all.
As for the poo bar, I'm afraid I cannot see the great ACO vision including building bars for grubby boozy punters (with or without gimp masks) in their new squeaky clean village. I reckon it will be all corporate with a heavy emphasis on marketing and brand awareness. No, I think they'll leave us to our own devices, hoping we'll either use the (limited number of)  bars behind the grandstands, or keep out of everyones way and drink/party on the campsites.
Which raises another question...
They now seem to have succeeded in turning the circuit into one where it's not actually possible to have an involving spectating experience watching the cars, and as I speculate above, they have also removed the "Party Atmosphere" element of the event. So who the hell are they targeting as customers?? The Corporate and Agency coachloads I reckon, which would explain why there seems to be so few tickets available to the general fan.
H
PS I hope you're on the mend Peter, and I wish you the speediest of recoveries, after all you'll need a fully functioning immune system in place before you tackle the Merguez...

If I'm not mistaken, this one shows (from foreground) Karting Nord, Maison Blanche and Bleu campsites (with the airfield in the background)

What a shame it wasn't taken race weekend, the DfH banner would have been perfectly visible!

I think I should just point out, that the photos from the francefromtheair site, all claim to have been taken in 2004, so they are actually quite old.

Still, they are good pics though, and bring back happy memories  Cheesy

Looking at these photos, and comparing it to the ACO map, the camping bleu nord site is right next to the runway Shocked

If you have a copy of the Duke 2005 dvd you can see"Paddy's Flags" clearly on the Loeb and Corvette drive round the circuit on the extra's section.
