Got back at 12.20 this morning, took an hour to get out of Expo and half an hour to fill with Diesel in the services at Alecon but other than that a free flowing trip back via Calais.
Much greater security, there were even members of the CRS patrolling Expo during the race. Would have helped in they had given more thought to those that wanted to go in the car on Sunday morning to stock up on supplies, and given advice on the way out and the way back in!
The additional security may have curtailed the activities at the bar outside Expo (the CRS were parked opposite for most o the evnt) but I guess that followed complaints on this forum and others about the poor behavour that was creeping in, and just demonstrates that the few spoil it for the majority. Mind you the lack of antics there made walking to the circuktmain entrance easier.
The extension of the fence all around Parking Rouge was a pain, especially on Friday when we planned to walk through Rouge in to the circuit by the stgae, across the Dunlop Brdge and down to the tram. Had a change of plan as the only open entrance to Rouge parking would have made a long detour!
Tram to Le Mans centre on the Fridaywas excellent, very good lunch in arestaurant. Stayed for some of the Parade but it was as slow as ever so gave up after an hour or so.
No party at the Danes encampment in Expo on Saturday night.....bonus!
All in all a good trip, roll on next year.
