2012 Excursions
The following optional excursions are available using Speed Chills dedicated shuttle service.
Drivers Parade
On the Friday evening before the race, the town centre of Le Mans hosts the Drivers Parade. All of the drivers are paraded through the town centre atop classic cars, many pausing to sign autographs and chat to the crowd. Our coaches leave from our Members Club locations at Bleu Sud and Beausejour, drop you into the town centre and then return you to our on-circuit locations.
Price - £25 per person
Arnage/Indianapolis
During the race, a trip to the Arnage/Indianapolis complex of bends at the South end of the circuit is a must. The braking point for Indianapolis is the fastest part of the circuitand from the spectator banking you can hear and then see the cars burst from the forest-lined approach, through Indianapolis and down to Arnage, the slowest corner on the trackand one to catch out even the best drivers. The closure speeds of the LMP cars on the GT class is phenomenal under braking for Arnage.
Running Saturday evening and through to the early hours of Sunday morning, our round-trip shuttle service is the most convenient way to get to these fantastic bits of the circuit. Pick-up is from our Private Camping areas at Beuasejour and Bleu Sud. Drop-off is close to the circuit entrance at Arnage and drop-off at the end of the trip back to our Members Clubs at Beausejour and Bleu Sud.
Price - £20 per person
NOTE - you do not have to be a member of Speed Chills to book these excursions. Pick-up and drop off for non-members is the security post at the entrance to the Speed Chills Private Camping sites at Beausejour or Bleu Sud.
