Le Mans being a very long race enables you to see most of the circuit during the race. If you are travelling down Thursday or Friday (reccommened) then you will have time to look around a bit to see what suits you. Everyone has their own tastes though.
The race starts at 16:00. Have a walk around the 'village' first, get the T Shirt etc. For the race get to your seat about an hour or so before to se the parades etc. After the start stay in the grandstand for a couple of hours. The circuit will be crowded so there is little point in trying. Remember to take food and drink with you, also suncream if it is hot! After that wander acros the other side of the track, there is a tunnel under the pit entrance area, turn left and have a look at the Porsche Curves. Then head back up the pit straight, loads of food halls, but pricey. pause at the end to see the Dunlop chicane. Here you can get a free bus to Arnarge and Mulsanne corner, either now or later. Either way a bus will bring you back. Head up the hill to the new curve, here can be quite good for sunset. Have a look around the fun fair, pased the esses then head up to Terte Rouge, just before the corner you should see the brakes glowing at night. That is it really the only viewing places unless you sneak around the fields to see the straight, or you can drive to the bars along the straight. The pit straight is always busy with pit stops etc and quite good in the early hours.
I'm sure you will find a good place to watch.
