What am I missing? Or have they started clearing the trees?

the only place I can think of that has barrier, banking and trees that looks like that is on the inside between Mulsanne and Indianapolis, so possibly where the Indy/Arnage bypass will start? Last edited by Bodysnatcher; 25 Aug 2015 at 20:46. |

If it was a fire then the trees stood up remarkably (from what it looks like)!
MV, can you enlighten us please? Merci. |

No the fire didn't reach this area and the circuit. I think these trees are on the left of the track, close to Indianapolis right turn. They will be probably removed for the new road and the roundabout. The 93 years old track design won't be changed anyway.

Hello,
A map about this forest fire. According to police, it's arson. A paper from the local newspaper :http://www.lemainelibre.fr/actualite...08-2015-141161 Last edited by Michel Vaillant; 27 Aug 2015 at 00:24. |

Thanks for the pics and link, deggis. Have they taken a big tree out right on the corner as well? Or is my mind playing tricks on me?

On Deggis's second picture, it seems that they also removed the very old concrete steps that were leading on the mound.

I can't work out where the first picture is taken. Is that the car park on the corner?

So they've taken away half of the earth banking. What's their plan? A bigger and higher banking? Anything less would be nonsensical.
Isn't there one year they can just leave the track and it's surroundings alone? |

No idea about what they are going to do with great big hole in the banking but the road changes are for road safety reasons. Apparently that junction at Arnage is a popular accident spot.

La Sarthe/Bugatti Circuit track changes
Quote:
That is road that takes you towards the crossroad east of monce-en-Berlin. The field behind the tree row, behind the stripped topsoil is the ACO ticketed parking arnage. So I'm guessing the round about is going to be on the left side of that photo. Last edited by YorkshireLad; 17 Nov 2015 at 09:49. Reason: Changed hedgerow to tree row as there's a hedgerow on the right of the image. |

Thought this might be of interest here - work underway at Porsche Curves and Arnage - and major post-arson tree felling completed - A sad sight http://www.dailysportscar.com/2015/1...es-felled.html

Thanks, Graham. I think...
Good news on the Porsche Curves gravel trap though. Something had to be done there. |

With the ACO's historical hatred of tree's the local police must have thoughts about who was responsible for the fires, then arrest a local idiot so as to be seen to be doing something. Wonder who will get invites to the christmas party at the ACO this year?
