Definitely still some details to be confirmed. Anyone know if that means they are keeping the circuit set up throughout the race days again? |
They may open up the roads for the Monday and Tuesday, then leave it all closed from Wednesday morning till after the race.
We'll be in town for Scrutineering both days
doh! Just read this on the ACO website;-
Last year’s experiment having proved satisfactory, the full circuit will be open (and therefore the roads closed) from Wednesday 8 until after the race on Sunday 12. The new procedure has the backing of local authorities and communities who are conscious that the event contributes greatly to the local and regional economy.

Dominique Le Mèner, chair of the Syndicat Mixte du Circuit des 24 Heures du Mans (the consortium of private and public bodies in charge of managing the track): "Thanks to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, La Sarthe is the centre of attention in June – giving us the chance to show the world what we have to offer. The Sarthe department holds a 50% share in the Syndicat Mixte, which invests heavily in the upkeep of the circuit to ensure that our race continues to merit its reputation as the world’s best. I am pleased to see scrutineering and the drivers’ parade back in the streets of Le Mans. Local people take great pride in their race and these events bring joy to many – as the sea of happy faces always proves."
