A few questions:
-If I get GA tickets now, they'll be sent to me before the race actually happens right??? ^Reading that has me confused :P -What's the best way to get to the track from Paris? And how long does the traffic last on Sunday? -Is taking the Rail Europe train a good idea? -Where can you go on the track (outfield or infield)? And what are the best way(s) to get there? Thanks |

Not only that, but for a football stadium geek the old Stade Léon Bollée was an absolutely wonderful place to watch football (maybe not so much in the winter). Look at that view! Incredible. Same as the Ricoh really; I spent many a time in the 90s walking down past the terraced houses on Swan Lane on the way to Highfield Road. I didn't think that Coventry could do any worse than the Ricoh (faceless industrial estate, next to Makro ), but they now have. By the way, France will be hosting the European Championships, in two years' time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2016 Interestingly, they've completely ignored the west/north-west. Not even Nantes or Rennes got in as venues. |

Ah the Ricoh Arena, which is identical to Pride Park, which is identical to the King Power Stadium, which is identical to St Mary's, which is....

CAll of those things are the same a rectangle of grass on which 22 overpaid ballerina's punt an inflated pigs bladder around while two lots of people scream abuse at each other, the players and the poor guy that was made to wear the black shirt

In short, this modern Mamarena stadium, located after the Tertre-Rouge is a kind of huge cist built on our circuit.

Cists should be treated with strong antibiotics before they cause problems unfortunately this one was allowed to become a problem

Well, the problem is not so much the need of a new stadium as its location.

But don't think that the whole french population is just waiting to steal your bike, after waiting hours to get on the bus from Arnarge/mulsanne back to the village, an unlocked bike is an tempting alternative, it will then be abandoned somewhere near the campsites/car parks

We have used bikes to travel to the chinese restaurant near the first chicane, helped escaping the busy traffic around the track a lot.

Leaving Le Mans
For a return trip Le Mans to UK, Is possible to return on sunday or is a best option to stay camping sunday night and return on monday? I´m not sure if it is possible to make Le Mans-Caen/Calais/st Malo on sunday. Is my first time, so I have a lot of questions on the trip.
Thanks in advance |

We always travel back Sunday and it is no problem reaching the channel ports in time for late crossings on Sunday evening.
We always take a relaxed trip back stopping for food and although booked on the last shuttle 22.20 usually get on an earlier one. The problems with the other non channel crossings is that they are not as frequent and it is often not possible to catch the last ferry on Sunday |

Thanks, I was expecting a massive traffic jam to leave Le Mans and adjacent roads.

No, provided you can make a quickish exit from the campsite or car park, there's rarely any real problem.

If you pack up and move your car so that you can get away prompt it helps, you can still listen to RLM in the car for some time but if you can be out and on the road soon after 3.00 then the roads are quite clear
