Is there a map of the track that includes viewing areas, and how you get to them? After last year of trudging for miles with a bag of beers only to be told we cant go this way, or driving about looking for a view of the mulsane straight, it would be nice to know where to go.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

Stu? One for the help page maybe...if someone can help!
I've got a fairly detailed map but it doesn't show what's open and what's not. Trial and error...

Only experiments collection can produce such a map...
... and these spots change every year as the ACO erected new fences or grandstands !!!
But we may answer to your request!

Thanks guy's, you would have thought this would be one of the first things the ACO would have produced? If you can come up with anything it would be most apreciated.

Darhart.....basically forget the Mulsanne unless you want to be arrested or just moved on.
If you want a good viewing area try the Porche Curves at night or Indianapolis.....the other good place for the start of the race is the open grandstand thingy at the Dunlop Chicane on the inside of the track just south of the Dunlop bridge.
The other excellent viewing place is the members granstand ....or any other grandstand opposite the pit lane.
The other benefits of the members grandstand(T05) is the bars and exceptionally clean toilets.

Fantastic, cheers for that. It seems that i found all the viewing areas last year, bar the bottom of the mulsane. I had heard somthing about a chinese restaurant where you can see the mulsane from, is this a myth? if not how do you get to it? Thanks Darren.  |

It is no myth. The Restaurant Shanghaï des 24 Heuresis is next to the Restaurant des Hunaudieres on the Mulsanne Straight. I believe that viewing is hard from either of these restaurants and you have to book well in advance. Phone numbers for both are in the help guide. I'm not sure of the directions during the race but I am sure a certain helpful french person can supply them.

Beware, the restaurants along the Hunadieres are a dangerous place. There's always the possibility of a Mercedes landing in your soup.  |
