Title: Best Stand
Post by: SpriteII on June 22, 2004, 02:55:41 pm
Following on from the 'How Did the ACO do (tickets) ' thread I think we might have some stand tickets for next year.
Last time we did stands (the year the Porsche that was a Jag won) we had ACO ones, fab loos and nice to be able to watch the pits however I'd value other peoples opinions on which are the best.
It's a big bonus to be able to watch track action on the big tellies, there is one opposite the Dunlop Chicane stand where else can you see one from? Presumably you can see the one by the final chicane from the southern most end of the pits grandstand, or can you? Who is this telly aimed at (metaphorically and literally), the pit crews?

We had seats in the Sommer grandstand which was opposite the Nasamax / WR / Morgan pits.
Directly opposite the stand is a large TV screen.

Sommer, that's top end of the pits isn't? Is that the telly behind the Parc Ferme area where the cars get chucked after the race? I'd forgotten about that one.
Am I right in thinking that all stands are now covered?

Best stands we have used are the Michelin one's. A couple of years ago it was lashing it down and we were tucked up in the back row so keeping dry, you could see the people in the stands above the pits moving back as the rain just drove in.
Another nice touch that year was that the Bentley pits were dead opposite us.

We've been in stand 19 Lagache (used to be called Michelin) for the last few years. This is the one next to the ACO stand, and you get a good view of most of the pits, and with a bit of twisting and turning, and binoculars, you can see both telly's.
As I have said in another thread, any main stand ticket will also get you into the ACO Welcome area in the village, and up to the top of the ACO block at the exit from the pit lane (after 6.00pm Sat).
As anno domini increases, you welcome the opportunity of a sit down to watch the track activity before and during the race!
