While on the subject of stands, could someone please tell me how to get to the seats above the pits? Never made it up there on previous visits, and fancy spending some time up there during the night. In the past we have entered stands other than our allotted one - I suppose that is likely to be the case again? Many thanks.

Just look for the big steps that lead up to the top. |

To get there, you need to use one of the tunnels at either end of the tribunes or cross over the Dunlop Bridge. You then walk right down the back through the Village (all the shops etc.) and then instead of going into the paddock (you can't ), you walk back along the main hospitality area and there is an entrance there (marshaled) which once through allows you to access all of the stairways that run over the back of the pits and up into the stand. Any area of T34 can be accessed from any one of those stairways. |

I have seen them there, yes.
However the surface in some areas is a bit, how shall I put it, rough! Not as bad as it once was though. If you've got a four wheel drive one then all the better! |

There is at least a specific concrete viewing area for disabled people on the outside of first corner just before Dunlop.

Yes.
Edit: Here is a Google Maps direction from Beausejour, via Arnage, towards Mulsanne: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/47...!4e1!3e0?hl=en |

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/47...!4e1!3e0?hl=en If I recall, the part from the D139 to the "rue du stade" is one way, so it may be impossible to use this road in this direction. In this case you should go on until the D139 to the D338 (main road Le Mans - Tours). In this case, the route is : https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/47...!4e1!3e0?hl=en I don't know if this one way will be still mandatory this year, but it is long by bicycle.

As far as Grandstand seats are concerned, I'm partial to the one at the Ford Chicane. Lots of good action there and a great angle of the cars going through those turns. |

We're wondering what to do away from the circuit. Over the last few years we've checked out the old Grand Prix circuits. this time we were wondering about checking out the Hotel de France. http://www.lhoteldefrance.fr/
However I kind of think that this will be heaving over the week of Le Mans and it would be best to check it out at another time. It would be worth it if only for a photo of the car in front of it. |

By the way KlBD, T34 is an excellent grandstand if you take photographs - one of the few places you can shoot without fencing getting in the way. I've sat in there many times - its a great place to be during the night.

The sole caveat is to be very careful in there on Saturday afternoon if it's a hot one - at the time there's no shade in T34 at all and you're exposed to very direct sunlight, which can get you into a little bit of trouble if you're not careful. |

Has anyone taken the helicopter ride during the week of the race? My son is turning 21 and thought it would be a nice birthday present. Searched this tread and couldn't find any info. A more general web search is suggesting cost ranges from 50 to 200 - quite a range! Anyone know what the actual cost might be and is there a site to reserve tickets? Thanks!

We did it a few years back. It was great. Fantastic views and fun to go up in a helicopter as its not something I do often.
I pre-booked before I went and I think it was about 80 Euros, but it was quite a few years back. That got you a lap and a half; basically a full lap and then round to just after the first chicane and then cutting across back to near the airport. No idea who I booked with, but I don't think the experience varies that much by company. |

Hi, another first-timer here. There's marvelous information here, thank you! I'm wondering how difficult it is during the qualifying sessions to get out to the back side of the track - are the buses completely useless, or is there some hope as long as I'm not in a hurry to get back? I figure it's not worth trying during the race.

no problem on wednesday and thursday to drive out to the viewing area's at mulsanne corner and arnarge, just follow the signs and all the other cars, walking is a little to difficult although you can do the porsche curve quite easily. You may find others in the camp site doing the same and perhaps room in their car

It does not matter how many people are in the car. Your friend does not have to buy a campingticket. Both of you do need entrancetickets to the circuit wich can be bought at the gate. Have a great time. |
