How to get to Mulsanne viewing areas during the race?

[Some Gump]

Hi guys,

We'e done LM a few times, but never made it to Muulsanne viewing area. We've done Arnage at night (which is awesome), got there on bikes.

Any idea how to best get to Mulsanne? We quite fancy it, but also don't fancy the stories of huge queues to get back again if we take the trolley bus thing..

Thanks in advance!

Last year we got the bus near the Antares tram stop which went to Mulsanne. There wasn’t much of a wait and we spent a great few hours watching the race into nightfall.

I have driven in the past and parked just outside the enclosure entrance.

I love the circuit from Dunlop bridge to Tetre Rouge at night, marvelous to see the cars sweeping through there

It's not a difficult drive, depending on what roads the gendarmerie decide to close in their wisdom. Do you have an Arnage/Mulsanne parking ticket? If you go by bus, at certain times the queues are very long.....

For both Arnage and Mulsanne a lot depends when you try to go/return. Try to get there for the start/return an hour or 2 later and I'd expect the buses to be a nightmare, likewise for the end of the race. Outside of that you'll probably get on the next bus to cone along each way, that's certainly the case at 3am for some night racing.

And subject to the ACOs natural randomness there's a good chance you'll be able to track the next bus using the Zenbus phone app. Has worked the last few years.

It takes some planning to get to with the road closures, but we go to Hotel Arbor every year, it's a great spot and probably one of the closest places you can get to the track. I think it's 10 euros a person to get into their car park, which includes a beer at their bar.

I don't think the view is very good Ben & you'd need to be a Ninja/special forces op to find it as the gendarmes seem to close more and more roads randomly every year

I've driven out to both Arnage and Mulsanne corners during practice and the race in each of 2018, 2019 and 2022. Once you've done it for the first time, it's pretty straight forward. I expect the marshals to be pretty hot on people having the parking tickets though - in fact I hope they are!

Agreed awful view and hard to get to
