For me there just seemed too many people inside the main circuit and other members of our group felt the same, my wife has limited walking ability and even with a stick many people were just plain rude and inconsiderate tbh, with the volumes inside the circuit that made life difficult for us, but heyho I get it was the centenary and numbers will drop off over the next few years.
Missed our Blanc parking but we had both Expo and Panorama, tried both, Expo was probably the easier walk. We had Mulsanne camping as usual, just for a R&R location only real camping is on race night. Interestingly numbers at Mulsanne seemed no different to normal to me, maybe a few up but not so bad. Getting from Expo to Mulsanne was a doddle going via Ruaudin three hours in to the race. We made the decision to watch the end from Mulsanne rather than returning to our grandstand, and tbh I quite enjoyed it.
We bought most of our merchandise on arrival on the 1st June so got most of what we wanted, trying to buy at the circuit was chaos, managed to pick up the last two of the poster tshirts in large on Friday 16th at the museum just before coming home!
Got checked by security at Mulsanne camping for glass on our first visit, they didn't find the bottles as it was only a cursory look, we did find it amusing that bottles were banned but there was a glass recycling bin on the campsite
Being able to get our ACO wristbands at the Pesage was a plus point.
Race was great Safety Cars not so, but that's just a personal opinion.
A really big plus for me was the variety of engine noises, must have really confused the F1 fans in the crowd
