I do have the number Dave.

Still a bit lost as to where the entrance to the Bugatti circuit actually is. It does not show on my routing software.

Hope to see you there. Friday daytime is good for me. I will be tooling around getting the lie of the land so to speak.

Anyone help with entrance position? save a bit of guesswork?

Cheers all...

Guys

I won't be going (always clashes with my wife's birthday :? ) but when I used to take the Sprint to the main 24 hrs, I would access this forum: http://www.clubarnage.com. They have links & documents including route guides & tom-tom shortcuts you could download. I haven't searched their forum for a while but Alex you seem to have a lot of time on your hands (!). Give it a browse & you might find some interesting info if you're going for the 1st time.

Another useful site is http://www.beermountain.com. (You have been warned)

HTH,

Regards
Richard

Alex

If it is any help I have looked on Google Maps / Google Earth and found the location of the Bugatti entrance they used in 2008 and the Latitude, Longitude is 47.940418,0.214286.

If you want to meet up at the circuit my mobile is +447711 708631. I'll be with the Club Lotus lot with my BRG +2

Regards

Alex ,
Keep the entrance position as a meeting point but like others years the acces to the Lotus cars park will be different .
Don't panic , even the locals ll have to discover that at the last moment ... But as I known that the Lotus car park ll stay as last time , from the main entrance just follow the green dots , on the map under... Lotus park is under#7 "le chemin aux boeufs" on the Bugatti's track .

My advice(s) , stop for fuel before Le Mans , have your pass & park tickets near you , and as you may have to wait -thanks to the electronic control of every (pass car & peoples) , be ready to make the last meters with an open bonnet .

If it is any help, the colour of the Clubs parking ticket is orange; follow the signs for this and you will get to the correct gate; Christian's preceding advice shows the approximate position of Lotus clubs at the last event; it could well have changed this time. I think that if you aim for a position somewhere between the numbers 5 & 7 on the map you will not be far off. :D

On that map we went in via M & L. We normally park oppoisite 6 (on the inside of the Bug' circuit), but as I said, we didn't park near the Lotus area.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!!! Can't wait! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Meeting up on site- can I suggest that the best place for us to get together is in the Lotus parking in the Bugatti circuit? Information received today (Sunday) from the organisers confirms that all the Lotus Clubs will be corralled in the same area (CLOG had a splendid sign given to us a couple of iterations back but I think these are not on offer this year) so: would Friday be a good day, at around noon (French time)?

I cannot, unfortunately, guarantee to be there, because this is very much a working week-end for me, however, if you do happen to spot me on site, please make your self known. Photo attached.
