We're arriving on the Weds. Obviously the Hoosiers are playing (I presume by the Dunlop bridge as normal) Weds night.

Friday is the day I'm most interested to know what everyone is doing. Every year I've missed the parade but want to see it this year, plus the bit where you get to drive and park up on a portion of the track.

What does everyone do on the Friday - what times are things going on - I know that getting into the town is a must, then getting to the track.

Also, what alternative is there for the Houx roundabout on the Friday night - been there, seen that a few times, and after last year, I'm not sure I want to bother with it again!....

Also, what night do most people go into the village (straight road through the middle and bars all down one side) - can't remember the name of it?

Any advice greatly appreciated. TIA

Wednesday and Thursday are testing days.

You have the pit walk on Friday (?) or Saturday morning.

There is 'Mad Friday' near Houx round about is it?

Friday night is the town parade?

Mulsanne straight on Fri morning (Drive part of the track).

Race starts 4pm Sat till 4pm Sunday.

All of the top of my not so clever head. Someone can confirm and alter what I've said!

There's plenty going on in Le Mans city centre and in Arnage every night, so whatever time you pitch up will be The Right Time.
