(To be fair, they where never banned, WEC just wouldn't pay for them)

Eh
It's the viewing area at Mulsanne Corner - end of the Mulsanne straight - Ligne Droite des Hunaudières.

virage = turn
courbe = curve
ligne droite = straight line
ralentisseur = chicane = chicane

I know all of that but I mean what it says on the Friday of the schedule currenty:

This day will bring together not only avid motorsports fans within the general public, but also the race participants. Indeed, the drivers will come meet the crowd for an autograph session. The band Trio Bele Noci will enliven the day. Miss 24 Hours will also be there as well as various booths and attractions - such as the showing of a Peugeot car that won at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, cars from the OAK Racing outfit and the innovation of the year: the presentation of the RCZ R ART CAR. Safety will be ensured by track marshals. Friday, June 12th will be a festive day for the Mulsanne corner. The party will take place on the outskirts of the Village and on the track. This day will pay special tribute to Peugeot, as shown in the very beautiful illustration by painter Ray Toombs. An exhibit will put his works on display.

In a motor racing context:
virage = corner (as Mulsanne Corner)
ligne droite = straight (as Mulsanne Straight)
and Tribune = Grandstand (as Tribune 17 = Home Sweet Home)

Uh, no? Why? How ugly and cheapish would that be looking? And besides, one numberplate from last year is gracing my Le Mans/Sportscar alcove in my living room, and the other one is at Matthew's home, gracing his wall. So they are on duty already!

One more picture! Just received an e-mail from the printshop with the design for my t-shirts for confirmation before actually printing. Needless to say, I was pretty happy with his work. This will be the backside. (And yes, I know the chicanes will have some different names, but these will work fine for me)
