5 practical questions before Le Mans

• What time should I arrive on site on Saturday June 17?

The sooner possible the better, in order to avoid traffic jams which will get bigger the closer the departure time (15 p.m.). In addition, due to the state of emergency established throughout the country, the ACO has strengthened its security system for welcoming spectators. The access time to the enclosure may therefore be longer than usual.

• How to follow the race live?

Between the giant screens (14), the Michelin Tower updating the ranking at every moment, the comments of the speakers broadcast via the speakers scattered on the site and Radio 24 Heures (91.5 FM), the official lemans.org website and the official app 24 Hours of Le Mans, nothing can escape you.

• Where to rest?

If you decide to spend the 24 Hours on the circuit, finding a relatively quiet place to regain your strength will prove difficult. Nevertheless, the site has some natural assets, such as the slightly sloping grassy portion located between Maison Blanche and the Ford “Esses”, where you can doze off while keeping an eye on the track. Inside the circuit, the hill of “Esses” de la Forêt is not bad either, as well as that of Tertre Rouge.

• How to keep your children busy?

First by introducing them as best as possible to the subtleties ofEndurance. If that's not enough, the ACO has set up a village entirely dedicated to them, with activities and attractions for 2-12 year olds as well as a daycare. This year it is located just above the village.

• What time do you leave the circuit?

The secret to a successful weekend is to arrive early and leave late. Don't expect to be at the highway toll booth at 16 p.m. if you decide to see the checkered flag lower... on the contrary, let the flow of spectators flow. Shops and restaurant areas remain open well after arrival. And above all, rest before getting back behind the wheel.
