gread should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I remember climbing on that gate in '88, unforgetable. I think we got there by taxi. A different era now though, maybe I should try the restaurant again soon.
We used the shuttle bus to get about last year. It did soak up lots of time waiting, but we used the safety car periods well. As has been noted elsewhere, be aware of the route. We went from the front entrance during the McNish SC period, stayed on past Arnage to Mulsanne for the late afternoon. It was quite a queue to get back on the bus (must have been about 8pm) & we then went back past the main entrance and stayed on until it got to Arnage in the dark. When the Rocky SC came out it was back to the queue which took ages. It looked a bit manic at Mulsanne by this time but we just stayed aboard. We got back to the main entrance just as the SC came in.
As far as I am aware, it only runs during the race (not P & Q) and not during the night (midnight to 9am, I think). We may try Sunday morning this year.
