There was a bit of a conversation regarding the shuttle buses and times a few pages ago I think. Or somewhere in the sub-forum.
Some encouraging news here from the official site which appears to confirm the bus runs non-stop throughout the race. Might jump on one at 2am and head out to look at the brake discs!

Any info on how many of these busses are running during the night? I mean, how crowded are these? Is it an alternative for the car or does it take hours for one to arrive?

Hi Guys,
Just found this thread as I'm heading over for my first Le Mans 24 Hour this year and will not only be taking in the entire spectacle, but with Media Accreditation as well! Good to see so many people are heading to the race. Hopefully it's a good one. I can't wait to freeze my butt off standing shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of photographers waiting for the sunrise shot at the Dunlop Bridge

I will be there at daybreak, every year I get out of my tent in tertre rouge just before the sunrises and watch the light slowly return to the track, to me one of the years greatest moments

I have just watched a very wet motor GP at le mans, the circuit looks very green so hopefully the campsites will not be bone dry and dusty in 3 weeks

Finally able to post that I've got my tickets! Hoping that our pitch in Houx does not end up looking like vincegail's biblical image.
