Pictures of Arnage would be welcome. I'm interested to see how they've divided up the spectator banking and will there be any space left for the campers at Arnage. I'm already guessing that a chunk of the car park on the other side of the road will be sacrificed for the new roundabout. |

Dear Friends,
No special things to say about works. All is going on but I'll wait a bit before riding there. Actually all the gravel traps are still available. Wait and see. Though a 360 video to let you check the progress of works https://plus.google.com/photos/photo...47581459594402 |

Thanks Eric. So the bank remains..... Will we still have the food stalls that are normally there, I wonder?

Thank you Eric for this short but interesting video. They have two months to finish the works. The new mound near the fast right before Indianapolis seems to be rather high. Is it what we can see at 0:24 behind the trees ?

Nice to hear Kristensen on IMSA with JH talking about Sebring. I agree with him not to change these classic circuits and not going clinical, which I feel Lemans is going to end up like in years. It's already changed a lot, hopefully not to much more.

I'm looking forward to them a lot, I must admit. I just wish the mound was just a foot or two higher.
Thanks again for the videos Eric! |

La Sarthe/Arnage Track and Other Changes
I like how you can just wonder round the construction site
The banks look pretty cool tbh nice and high, hopefully it will all grass up fairly quick as it'll be a reet boggy mess if it rains! Any news on corporate stands on the land? The Aco or whoever has paid will want to offset their expenses. Probably slap bang where the decent views are. |

Will have to make the effort to get myself out to Arnage and Mulsanne this year, just can't be bothered to get the car out of the camp site to drive there.

Last year, the new mound of the Porsche curve was unavailable. I hope the new mounds around Indianapolis will be ready this year. It depends on the vegetation and the grass required to stabilize it.

Wasn't that because ACO had given/sold exclusivity to the camp site located there?
