Ok. i have briefly scanned the pages as have been away to chcek i havent doubled up. I know Keith K has put up some piccies.
Anyway- Shampoo Bar - Well it just wasnt there, and the space had some metal frame work bolted into the ground, but nearby there were a few of the temporary strucktures selling beer etc, so i think the bar will still be there in 50 days time.
I am back to LM on 21st May for the Moto GP, and will try and have a look, but i am going on the shampoo bar being there.
The roads around Le MAns, particulaly the N138 from Tetre Rouge ( still there ) to the Supermarket is terrible and a horrid single l;ane system in progress, apart from that there is no disruption to the Circuit roads.
By the Porsche Curves and Arnage Roundabout the ACO have built a screening area, where all the bikers were funneled through . This allowed roads to be closed creating a very succwesful 1 way road system, which worked really well. But.. HUGE roll-on-off bins were placed along the roads as a chichane to prevent motorbike madness. Is this a new thing ? No idea as it was my first trip to the bikes.
Inside the circuit there is a small amount of disruption to the old ACO stand area and upto the Shampoo bar with on-going building works. The tunnel under the dunlop chicanes doesnt look too diffenet but has now got a one way pedestrian system in effect. No piss smells at the moment.
I have added a few pictures, including a new McDonalds which i dont think was there last year?

That is an awesome Beach............ just make the track out going to the Left.
Did you have Qatar weather to go with it.
Was a majority of the building work complete or is there still shed loads ongoing?
If that is the McDs on the N138 thats been there years......... Great Bogs! Crap food!

Don't think it's that one - with Arnage and the Karting track straight on, it might be on the road from Hunaudiere across the centre of the track.

We certainly did, Barry - and very pleasant it was too.
