Wimille Grandstand
« on: May 15, 2008, 02:55:22 pm »
I got my tickets.
They allocated me Wimille Grandstand instead of Wollek.

Does anyone know what the view is like from there? Anyone have any photos?

Can you see right down to Maison Blanche?

Thanks
Baldrick, my Lord! But I can change it to Ploppy if it'll make things easier.

Hmm, trying to get back on topic... as if it will stay there for very long  ;D

The furthest up the straight stand I have used, was Singher, which is a few down from Wimille. The view down the start straight is a bit limited, and there is very little can be seen going on in the pits, but you get a great view of the pit exit  :)

Also, Wimille should have a really good view up to the Dunlop chicanne.

ot sure if you can see the giant screen opposite though, I think it is angled to be of use to people further down the start straight.

At least you will be able to stay dry if it chucks down with rain again  ;)

Is it just me or has the standard of moderation really gone downhill lately?

Used Wimille quite a few times in the past and there is nothing really wrong with it. Good view of pit exit and Dunlop chicane. You can see down the main straight and from a distance see them come into the chicane from MB.
