Do you enter farther down - towards pit out or on the other side of the track?

2015 was my first time at LM. I wanted to get as close to the podium as possible but not have to wait to cross the track. There's a gate behind the admin building at the entry to pit lane. As soon as the race was over they opened that gate which leads you to the gap between the admin building and the start of the garages/pit stands. The only downside is you end up behind anyone who had access to the garages. It worked out fairly well except for the folks who must wave gigantic flags which blocked my view of the podium.
Once the flags were gone it was great. I got there about 1 hour before the end and the line never got very large. Next time I'd wait until about 20-30 minutes prior to the end to queue up.
