Anyone else get caught in the bottleneck that is the shuttle bus service on the Saturday night? Joyous!

After queueing for over an hour at Mulsanne corner at around midnight and witnessing a fight almost break out between a CA member and a particularly irritating French man, then seeing the next bus go to the wrong end of the queue and pick up people that had just joined the queue, we decided to start walking. Fortunately we managed to get a lift after a few hours of walking away from the circuit! Stupid one way road system down there!

I'll point out that said CA member was simply defending the fact that he was in the queue first. They also decided to start walking as they were camped at Arnage corner so it wasn't quite as far to walk (though if you went the way we went, it was massive). If you're reading, did you get back ok?

It may also please you know that during our epic walk through the darkness, we came across a stopped shuttle bus and the angry french man that had kicked off previously had been ejected from the bus and was having a heated debate with the gendarmes present!

Never using those shuttle buses again!

Were they charging for the car parks at Mulsanne and Arnage? While queueing for the bus we didn't see any sign of enforcement of this rule. That was the only reason we didn't drive down there this year!

We saw the queue for the bus(es Huh) to Arnage at the main gate and were told "One and an 'alf hours..." Sad  "Sod that" thought us, and walked down to the Porsche curves instead.

The whole thing seemed a bit daft, although I'll be trying to get an Arnage and Mulsanne parking ticket for next year.  Assuming they persist with the inefficient, irritating approach of only using shuttle buses.
