Hi Has anyone been to the Le Mans MotoGP before and if so what is it like in the Carrefour Grandstand. Do you get a good view from here? Just booking some tickets and we have a chance to get reserved seats in this stand. What is the atomosphere like amazing i bet ?

Never been to the Moto GP but those who have loved it.  The atmosphere at the 24 hrs (cars) in indescribable - a fabulous experience. I don't know the Carrefour stand - bound to be one of the corporate re-namings they're going in for.  What number is it?

There's a virtual tour of the stands here

We get more enquiries for the Moto GP than we do for the Le Mans 24 Hrs.  Mainly because there's not as much camping space, but it gives you some idea how popular it is.  The bikers who attend are a great bunch - but aren't they all?  We go to Alençon after the end of the race to watch all the bikers heading north - it's quite spectacular.

Hi Tia

We went to the GP last year and didn't have seats in any of the stands which meant we had to stand on one of the banks which was about 5 rows deep by 9 in the morning. I don't think I would go again without having a reserved seat. All said it was a fantastic trip even though it rained on me half way there and half way back.

Good grief Cassis! I hope these pics get removed before Mr Clair gets any ideas...[;-)]

Hi Yes the seats will be reserved thank goodness thats why I want to know if you can get a good view from this stand. Great photos !! Has any of you bikers out there heard of Upright Tours based in the French Pyrennes, who specialise in motorbike holidays?

Nah...are they the type of outfit that would go fishing on other web-sites?

My mates come over for the 24 heures de mans, for free (so long as they spend some dosh in the village)
