Gilles, is there any further news on this??
Will the Stella Bar still be there in November?? Is there still a chance that it might be there for the race next June if work is not yet started??

Probably the bar would still be there in November...
... the work should not start until next june, but knowing the ACO and depending of the date of leaving of the owners, I bet you a champoo bottle that they will destroy the building maybe just a month before the race in June.

So, is there a chance that we still could have a last call during PQ ?

Probably demolish it a month before the race, then leave the area vacant during the race just to annoy us.
Should leave it till the race week ant we could have a send off party, then demolish sunday night with a grand firework display.
What do you reckon?

Just for info. The tram system still has no viable date for opening yet, so how long the bar remains is anyones guess.
However, knowing other systems, once the go-ahead is given, the civils work (track etc) tends to progress quite quickly.
The system, as proposed, appears to terminate somewhere in the region of the first Mulsanne chicane (Antares). Although why anyone would want to build a tram route to there is beyond me!
Sorry, I'm not a spotter, it's what I do for a living (light rail, that is). If I plan a route, it goes round the pubs but through all tax offices.

Antares is out major place for concerts and basket plays, so we need a decent transport system to access to it 51 weeks a year !!! |

Yeth id would.
Imagine, we could park half a dozen trams parallel to the Mulsanne, rip out some seats, install some pumps, coolers, barrels etc, bung in some bunks, get some girlies, have a strip show, get slaughtered ........................I think I better go and have a lie down, nurse.
Now, just to get involved in the project...............(disappears off to plot and plan)

As the train will have priority on cars, and as the line could cross the Mulsanne straight I just imagine drivers waiting at red light while the train pass.
During the Race Antares is rented by Marques Park (any details on this company ??) to organise a top-level hospitality. The view from the first floor to the Mulsanne straight is quite good, from tertre Rouge bar to the first chicane !!!!

Wotcher Gilles,
Take a look at the pic I posted in "I can't believe what people sell" thread. I'm sure it was the Marques Parques thing that I wandered into. The Antares centre was pretty impressive, in particular the concert/sporting arena. Do you get any big names playing there? Andy's mate Chris should put it on his list.
Seriously, how on earth could tram tracks be laid across the road? Ok for your normal traffic, but come race week there'd be cars up the trees!
