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

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 ?

Is that as high as you can get Eric? I was hoping it might be higher to get a lens above the fences......

Today updating:
The mound just in front of the straight from Mulsanne Corner :

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.

Arnage is fantastic. You can't get closer to the track. And Indy is going to be spectacular at night with this new viewing area.
And the noise as the cars accelerate out of Mulsanne... Come on, June!

I have been out there in the past, when the singling pits were just after Mulsanne corner. Just not been since I got back into going again. I will have photos to prove it as I have started to scan in my old slides, which include plenty for the early 80s. I had to start with the ones of a steam museum I volunteer at, but the Le Mans ones will be next and I will be posting them on here to share with everyone.

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?
