I may be slow, but are they building more garages in the pits area? Does that mean there could be more cars?  Or am I completly off the mark, and should go back to fixing the brakes on my cherry picker..... |

Keep up at the back! Yes, that is why we now have 55 cars on this year's entry list.

They appear to be on the outside. Wonder if they can plant some on the inside to provide some shade!

At least it looks as though the spectator banking on the inside of tetre remains, but is the chippy still going to be there?

As well as the corner reprofiling, it seems like the run down between the Esses and Tetre Rouge on the outside of the circuit has been further sanitised - shame, as that was one of the last bits that still had that feeling of being connected to the days of yore, being right up close to the armco, a bumpy, lumpy path and the dark and dingy tunnel. What's the big car parking area out the back of the pits going to be for - the expensive motorhome pitches?

Pic 8 on Nordics link looks as though there may be some cracking viewing to be had from the inside of the track. That earth bund looks as if it might give a fence free view!
It'll be nice when it's finished...

H, Was down that way last year - it was well worth the trek (or drive and park up). From the top of the bund nearest the Esses, you get a glorious uninterrupted view from the dunlop bridge, down to and through Tetre Rouge, and onto the start of the Mulsanne. Despite my mourning of the passing of the old tree tunnel and dank pedestrian tunnel, it is a big improvement and a great place to watch from. MG Mark |

Was down that way last year - it was well worth the trek I sort of suspected that might be the case Mark. The last time I headed up that way was the year after they re-aligned the hill down from the Dunlop Bridge, and I was so disgusted with what they'd done I just couldn't summon up the interest to go back. But it looks like I wasn't seeing the Big Picture. I do miss the tree lined banks on the outside of the Esses though, it was such a great sight at night with the cars screaming behind the pines but still only a few yards away. In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines... If my legs will carry me, then I'll definitely give it a go this year, - besides it's a while since I've been to the Tetre Rouge Bar, apparently reports of it's death have been greatly exaggerated!
