[LM24] Le Mans 2023 - 10/11 June - Who Is Going? (Closed)

Yes, I too wrote a thesis on traffic management around the periphery of the circuit and sent it to them.

I do think they're limited in what they can do about traffic circulation, and they've effectively admitted that by asking us to put our ideas in their 'suggestions box'.

It's hard to know, of course, but I do wonder if the change of use of much of the 'Bleu' area might actually improve traffic flow on Boulevard des Italiens during the race. Remains to be seen, but there's definitely the likelihood we're all going to get stuck in the 24 Heures de Gridlock too.

Probably best to all take a wander down to Tertre Rouge and partake in the 24 Heures des Bieres with Simon instead...?

It may be a stupid 'fear' to have but bearing in mind that they normally impose some form of 'traffic management' there*, could they close the road completely other than for the corporate users who now have the luxury of the bleu and blanc parking areas?

(* Ironically, I don't recall any of the bollarded traffic management there last year during race night. Possibly because of the insanity of using the blanc car park as a coach stop point and possibly because of the moron who I had to follow for about an hour who was constantly revving his engine....).

I confess I had that road closure scenario in my head as I was typing that post, but thought nah, they really wouldn't...or would they?
