Hi gents. Been reading Ten Tenths for a while and just made my first posting on the F1 boards - but sportscars are my real passion!
Haven't been to Le Mans since 2002, but am planning a visit for next year. Is the viewing area at the restaurant des 24-heure on the Mulsanne straight still severely restricted?
2001 qualifying sessions here were fabulous - right up to the hedge behind the armco and a clear view way up the track towards Terte-Rouge - amazing sight seeing the Aston DB3S (or was it a DBR1?) come over the rise and fly past during practice.
Imagine my dissappointment in 2002 when we headed over to get a repeat viewing, only to find huge fences keeping you right back out of the way - standing on a bench peering over a fence to the track some 20 metres away just wasn't the same - bet business has gone down some at the bar here.
Is the Terte Rouge bar still standing - heard it was to be demolished - again great view in practice in 2001 before they put up the tall fencing.
Look forward to seeing some of you there next year!
