Just read this on Le Mans News .net
Not good news at all. www.lemans.maville.com/actu/Detail.asp?idDOC=76027&idCLA=24

More than 200 000 spectators are awaited to the 24 Hours of the car Mans. Evidently, that does world for the whole week that precedes the race. Question circulation, the plan of the three last years is put back some places by the prefecture. Side security, a thousand policemen and policemen will land. To the occasion of the 24 Hours of the car Mans, of important measures of security and many deviation itineraries will be implemented. Police and french police force will see them effective to inflate. It will be necessary reckon with the presence of three companies of CRS, of three sections of motorcyclists, of four escadrons of movable french police forces and bikes all land that patrouilleront on the site of the circuit. To what it is necessary to add the hundreds of policemen and of policemen of the department. Speed checks and of alcoolémie will unfold themselves all to alongside the week. « For the 24 Hours of the Mans, this is not only chases it the 14 and June 15. This is also the pesage, the parade, the essays and the party that begins as early as Monday », recalls Cyrille The Vély, office director of the préfète.



Some novelties



This year, what's more circulation plan some places since three years, some novelties are to signal. To the approaches of the circuit: in order to avoid the wild runs, these races of improvised bikes, the virage Indianapolis (virage of Mulsanne to the arnage virage) will be closed Friday June 13 from 14 h (except riverside and service of the expressions). The Southeastern deviation will be laid out in 2x2 ways between Changed and Auvours. A pré-signalisation will be installed to reserve the right way to the access expressway. It is counseled to borrow the péage of the Mans south to attain the expressway, even to go to Paris.



At the level of the buses, the Setram announces again more buses than the preceding years at the start of the train station of the Mans to rejoin the circuit. To facilitate the stay of the spectators, the camping of Beauséjour spread his welcome capacity. To note that because of works in the center city, the crossing of Moncé-in-Belin will be very difficult. Two hundred sixty firemen, twenty doctors and of four nurses will integrate the different security posts. About 300 secouristes of several associations (Red Cross, civil protection. ..) will come to lend them strong hand. At last, in case of big pip, a helicopter of the Samu is anxious itself disposal to carry out transfers in an emergency

Very dodgy transalation but I don't like the look of it, does this mean no drag racing/burnouts at Arnage/Indianapolis on Friday?

Certainly sounds like they are going to try and jump start the french economy using brit speeding fines as the major export

I remember many years ago when there was problems in the south around Marsaille, they were very heavy handed and got themselves a rather nasty reputation

That's nothing, in '61 they massacred 200-300 Algerians & chucked them in the Seine. Probably a bit harsh for a few burnouts though!

LOL you gotta love the french.

Whenever they turn up we usually leave, not worth hanging about with a bunch of patriotic trigger happy "police".

If it follows the example of the bikes in April it was the heaviest policing I'd ever seen down there and they were stomping on any bad behaviour very hard and very quickly. Mind you the bikes 24hr does have a bit of a rep for bad behaviour that makes the cars look like a pensioners shopping trip (like a few dozen fatalities every year)

The thing is though when the normal plod turns up, they care more that seatbelts are fastened than the fact the driver is holding half a bottle of stella.
Last year, they stoppedone westfiend at mason blanche and took his beer off him whilst he did his seatbelt up. then they gave him his beer and watched him burnout. the CRS though .... Nasty buggers.. dont piss them off. last year when it got out of hand, they were pushing some of the brits that were lining the roads for having just their toes on the tarmac.. one hand on gun too. the few that pissed them off were warned in a vert visible hand on pistol fashion not to try it again.
We somply went into mason Blanche though and supersoakered them through the gaps in the concrete wall vive la supersoaker CRS scum!
