News from the Centre of the Universe
« on: October 19, 2006, 03:19:36 pm »
Just a quick update on works in progress at the circuit.
The groundworks for the new paddock area are well underway.  There will be a terrace at the bottom of the village area to provide a viewing area into it for the public.  5 extra pits should be up and running for the big race.

The tramway works are on schedule and rails are already appearing at the Antares (circuit) end.  This means that if things continue as they should (ie they don't find a cache of unexploded bombs or similar) there should be a tram service from the station to the circuit in time for the race.  Will keep you posted as winter goes along.

Tertre Rouge (Stella) bar is unaffected and still open for business.

The tramway works are the best news for me.

I come to LeMans on foot and the hike from the station to the circuit,especially carrying my kit and in the usualJune heat,can be pretty wearing sometimes.

Looking forward to next year's race already and should definitely be there.

Tertre rouge mods are now underway. See http://www.lemans.org/sport/sport/dossiers/travaux/index.html

Looking good - at least the tramway work doesn't screw up the Mulsanne or the Chemin de Boeufs.  Is there any indication on when the tramway will be in use yet?

I was thinking of arriving on foot on the Wednesday.

Will the tram service between the station and the circuit be running by then, do you think?
