We highly regard the racing valor of Luigi Chinetti, Woolf Barnato and Robert Benoist that is shown at the dedicated tribute grandstands for each of these drivers at the end of the S/F straightaway.  But after much consideration and several email and facetime hours reviewing video, images, travel reviews and messageboard posts of viewlines around the track, our thought has adjusted.  I don't believe the seating position from Chinetti (T15) and the other far straightaway grandstands will match the final turns of the course named after good 'ol Detroit Iron.   The Ford Chicane has risen as the best bet for grandstand seating at Le Mans:

• Well covered grandstand area
• Close proximity to the vehicles on the course
• Extended view time of the cars at a slower, curvy section of the course
• Long view down the fast S/F straight
• View of the pit entry
• Line of sight to a jumbotron screen (maybe bring some binoculars!)

Being on the Ford Chicane may give all our American blood a bit of warmth in a foreign land.  Plus, the grandstand is directly adjacent to the giant Ferris Wheel, which will be another treat!

Below is a video of a view from T23 Raccordement - special thanks to the video author for his message reply this morning about the seats.  Several snapshots of analysis for the seating position are also below. 

Meet you all there at 3pm, June 14!
