I can think of a few locations which have been used in the fairly recent past, including the inside of the Dunlop Chicane and the outside of the sweep down to Tertre Rouge from the Dunlop Bridge.

Yes, I thought of Tertre Rouge. I had an extra seat in that one a few years back.

A google image search for Tetre Rouge to refresh the memory now just brings up pictures of Allan Simonson's crash. Sigh.

Thats a pretty good view!
There isn't many spots where you can get a free view of the Esses.

Erm, are you sure? I know the trees are growing back a bit, and on Saturday afternoon some of the bits can get a bit congested with people, but pretty sure with enough thinking around the problem the Esses are pretty readily viewable.

Well, you are always limited to having getting close to the fence and putting the camera close enough to shot through the holes. With a raised platform, you can get above this, and be more free to shot.

True.

Not being particularly of the photography persuasion I forget these sort of issues.

Smashing picture!

Shame those trees went. Ironic since we've lost those, that it's become more fashionable to call them the "forest esses"!

Looks like there's some kind of Alpine fest on the Friday between Mulsanne and Arnage. Might be some interesting cars around but not much info: http://www.endurance-info.com/fr/un-...ne-le-13-juin/

Strange, that bit of road has been closed on the Friday in recent years. The Gendarmerie must have agreed to it.

That event takes place at the square in front of the 'Mairie' (city-hall) in Mulsanne, la Place de Jean Moulin.

Friday is getting busier and busier , it's going to be hard to choose. Wish tuesday had more things to do. So far it's the only day with nothing to do. Maybe teusday should be the rest day.

Tuesday evening normally is autograph signing in the pits. I couldn't care less about the autographs, but use it as a quiet pitwalk instead of the friday.

Starting to get excited...

Booking window for trains opens on 12 March, then it's Sebring, Silverstone and before you know it it's test day and you can start looking at the long-range forecast.

The day after the race is always so depressing, but I'm always amazed how quickly it comes around again.
