There's nothing quite like having a drink at the bar in the Chinese restaurant on the Mulsanne straight during night qualifying with the cars seemingly only inches away! If you want to actually see the cars, you can lean out of a window or go to the gate at the side where there is usually something to stand on.
This year, Hurricane and I watched the sun rise from alongside the straight bit after Mulsanne Corner, the best place to see the cars at speed.
We camped at Arnage corner, there you have the view back from Indianapolis, during the night you see the lights through the trees before the cars come round the curve, blinding you with their headlights before you see their brake disks glowing through the corner. At the other end of that viewing area you can watch and listen to them blast their way out of arnage and along the straight.
