Poor old Morte au Vache, dead and gone forever. I for one will miss him and his slimy old tunnel. I'll also miss Monsieur tending his allotment. One year I remember him hoe-ing around his juicy great leeks as the 787B scremed past. He didn't bat and eyelid and continued gardening noncholantly as if nothing unusual was going on about him. His artichokes were a sight for sore eyes I can tell you.
Anyway, there does look to be some good viewing opportunities with the new layout, perhaps we can call it Son of Morte au Vache. But as ever, I'll reserve judgement until I've seen it for myself.

Appologies for the quality of this - hope it doesn't get me into trouble - but here's an aerial view of Tertre Rouge.  |

Any idea when the picture was taken? There seems to be a lot of activity on HA.

Unless I'm having a brainstorm this is the bottom end of HA. You obviously can't believe how green and verdant it is  |

Agreed Bob, that is the northeastern bit of HA. Fran, that roundabout has been there for a few years, it's the link for the LM ring road in the foreground right. The best way to the Stella Bar is still under the bridge / tunnel of the track at around the '29' of '13,629' on the picture. Ask a HA'er, he'll always know the way to the Stella Bar  |

Ooops - I do beg your puddings! I was mistaking the Mulsanne road for the other one. Obviously long overdue for a reconaissance visit to Gods own country this year - while its still there!! The best way to the Stella Bar is still under the bridge / tunnel of the track at around the '29' of '13,629' on the picture.
That of course depends on where you are starting from Steve!!  F |

You are most welcome to visit us Fran. The best way to the Stella Bar is still under the bridge / tunnel of the track at around the '29' of '13,629' on the picture.
That of course depends on where you are starting from Steve!! F Surely all roads lead to the Stella bar  Not to Rome as some would have you believe. |

Shame their have removed the trees along the inside leading up to the corner. It was one of my favourite spots for watching the cars as the noise was quality. Was'nt the same last year. Also liked the little hollow in the corner that used to wobble a few of the cars.  |

Yeah its a shame that every year we lose another bit of history, i liked the trees too- it felt like a proper road circuit, now it just feels sterile like any other purpose built track through there. That dip caught out a few cars after the drizzle on the Sunday morning of the classic last year- very entertaining, how that big Caddy didn't hit someone I don't know. Alas now gone!

Stop me if I'm being numb, but Martin Short's listed as a driver for rollcentre? I thought he was going to 'sit it out' this year.
