I was surprised to see "GP ELEC" as one of the support races and was intrigued.

www.gp-elec.com has the details - it's different, but let's hope this never becomes the norm at LM!

Don't you worry,it's only a passing hype. The amount of batteries needed to do a full on 24hr race is nothing short of hillarious.
I reccon the grandstands'll be very empty and the food and drink stands very bussy during the ehr, race of these hoovers...

Subaru_WRX_STi has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
just a question about AF Corse, why they are so strong everywhere, and coming to Le Mans they seems every year "weak" and can't fight for GT2 ?

I doubt they do, but when your asking local govenment for money or permissions then being able to point to something like this will ease the wheels. It will also generate PR away from the track.

You need a few breaks in the non stop action of the warm up to do the more important things like the ten-tenths meet, drinking, eating and that all important loo break. and as the others have said keeping the enviro lobby happy is now an important concideration.

serrity should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Heading to Le Mans for the second time this year, was there before in 2003, but wasn't doing the driving.

Two questions:

1) I'm arriving on Wednesday (actually Tuesday but will just be going straight to my hotel in Alencon then). Plan to go to all practice/qual sessions, Classic and race (duh!). What is my best parking strategy? Buy tickets in advance? Any particular car park to aim for? I would like the ability to leave and go to Arnage/Mulsanne when I feel like it, too.

2) Is there much availability of free wi-fi in and around the track?

I saw this in the LM video thread the other day and i realized how much i miss Le Mans! It's been six years since last time, i can't believe how time flies. I'm therefore planning on a return this summer. I'm not sure if i'll be going by car or plane and train yet or even if I'm gonna have to go there alone or with friends yet but at least i'm pretty sure i'll be there somehow.

There are Wi Fi hot spots around so no problem with that, with parking I would suggest rouge or vert that way you can circle around Le mans and park. If you intend to drive to the other viewing area's you now need an additional parking ticket for Mulsanne and arnarge, these like the main car patking tickets are still available from either the ACO or the tourist office in Le Mans.

I think you need to order them in advance, but although arnarge is more difficult, you can park in Mulsanne and walk to the viewing area. however for the euro 8 charge it is perhaps better to get a ticket.

Has anybody of you an idea how to use the shuttle bus. ( Start/Finish, Arnage, Moulsanne )
I would like to know at what time it will go? ( Frequence )
Where can I enter the bus at the Start/Finisch area ?
Is the ride included in the ticket general for 65 € ?

Thank you for any tips !!!

From memory the shuttle bus "Le Shuttle" runs frequently from the Porsche Curves, Main entrance and other places but is very dependant on traffic conditions, as you can imagine that can be very busy at times. I heard one chap took over 5 hours to get back from Mulsanne and missed the end of the race!

ETA its free iirc.
